Implemented Auto Closing Wanted Threads After 2 Weeks

[Zwielicht]

Currently, threads in the forum suggestions section are locked after 14 days.

I was looking over more uses for our auto thread locker, and the only one I saw where this could potentially be useful is the Wanted: Goods & Services section.

However, I wanted to make this one something to vote on and discuss as I may be missing something. After all, it's been a very long time since I used a section like that on a forum.

From my perspective, I remember there was an issue on the other forum where old requests would get bumped by someone who was just spamming their contact details or ads for their business.

I figured if auto-locked our Wanted threads after 2 weeks, I could also add some information to the section sticky letting everyone know that if they need to re-post the Wanted Ad for any reason, they definitely can.

5 upvotes on this so far. 2 more over the next week and this will be implemented.

In the meantime, if anyone has anything they want to add to this, definitely feel free to share your thoughts here.

The silent upvotes are creeping me out a bit...

Okay, it looks like this hit 7 upvotes overnight. The silent upvotes were certainly interesting, but this has been implemented nonetheless.

Thank you to the silent protagonists who voted.
