Staredit Network

I visit this site rarely, but when I do, I often browse many pages. However you tend to lock all the topics (which is kinda retarded IMO, cuz I cant add my comments, but nvm) - and the subjects are crossed out. Reading them is painful and hurts my eyes. Seriously, I dont know why do you use this feature. If the threads were bad or something they should be closed and their names - crossed out - but otherwise it looks like every topic since say page 3 was crap and had to be closed.

Ive tried searching for new maps, but reading the thread names hurts my eyes...

There not locking them, once the topic is about 1-2 weeks old after the last post, it gets locked.

I admit, it does hurt to read the topic name once it is crossed out, but if it is crossed out, don't try to read it because it's locked and you won't be able to post anything.

Pages 3 and back are atleast 2 weeks old after the last post, so it was locked.

Get some glasses, or copy/paste the text into something else. I have NEVER, EVER been unable to read the name of a locked topic.

Strikethrough is alot easier to read than what it used to be... wasn't it like Dark Blue + Italics + Strikethrough or something...

yea, I should copy paste the names of 10 threads on a page, so that then I will get all other crap (authors' names etc)
and I read the threads to check out the map making tricks you developed, see the new maps that were posted

perhaps you dont like other people to visit this website, but if that's the case, maybe just say that, instead of telling me to buy glasses

btw. try dark blue on black canvas or something, it's even harder to read

No, you caught us, we dont like people coming to our site, thats how we got thousands of members.

Dont buy eyes off the Black Market, dude.

Closing topics helps keep focus in the community, because society is unable to do it by itself. It's a pain to have someone post in a month old topic (adding virtually nothing), and it's done fairly often. That's why it's done. If you don't like it, tough ****, 'cause everyone else does.

well, that crossing out irritates me much more, if someone closes a thread where Id like to reply I make a new thread

Well thats a shame, becuause everyone else likes it.

I don't like it.

How about you try opening the locked topic and reading the name of it if you can't read the text strike throughed.

And locking topics after a certain amount of time is a good thing. You'd have a bunch of noobs posting in year old topics otherwise.

If the topic was locked because the conversation was inappropriate then the idea is we don't want you to reply.

If the topic was locked because it was old the idea is we don’t' want you to reply. If you create a new thread on that topic then that’s perfectly fine and expected. As long as what you have to say works as a topic alone.

Most people don’t go reading though tons of old topics. If they are, they have found them using the search function not by manually scrolling though them. In this case having them indicated with a strike though is great because it is very obvious that the topic is locked even thought it may be a little hard to read. But if you’re only reading a few then it shouldn’t be a problem.

Maybe you have some suggestions on what should be done instead? Aside from unlocking all threads.

Srike through has never been a problem to my eyes.

I'm not going to change it. Please direct all complaints to my iron fist.
