May I ask, is there a rule that said one has a specific amount of time in a
thread? What I mean is I have created a thread and it is silent lately and I
wondered if I need to turn off that thread and open a new topic. Will minitokyo
delete thread which is dormant for a long time?
Another question is by what action one does when one revives an old thread? I
don't quite understand what is an "old" thread. If I give my comment
to a person who posted a picture long time ago or who had a long-time topic, is
it considered as reviving old thread?
There is a limit
You should not post on a thread that has been inactive for 4weeks or more
If you want to keep discussing the same topic, I guess you can make a thread of
your own with the same topic
But I don't think the mods go around deleting every single out of date threads
since there are so many
But I think you can answer a thread that has been inactive for more than 4 weeks
if that thread is not a thread that cannot be duplicated by somebody else (Like
asking for the anime of certain scans or how to improve a wallpaper and stuff)
Quote: From the Policy
You must post all new forum threads in the appropriate forum section. You must
make a reasonable effort to search the forums for existing threads on the same
topic you wish to discuss. In cases where the existing thread have not had a new
posting in over 4 weeks, you may open a new thread on the same topic. In most
cases, you may not revive a thread which had not received posts in a substantial
amount of time unless you have information that is of significant value to the
discussion.
Minitokyo won't delete threads in case you're wondering. Threads that is
inactive for over 4 weeks will only be closed if people bump into it. You may
also report your threads if you want it to be closed with valid reasons.
As stated in the Policy, you may not bump/revive old threads(over 4 weeks old).
Correction DO NOT ask a mod to close a thread for you we do not do that unless
it's under an extreme circumstance. If for example you just don't want a thread
open anymore that does not constitute a reason for closure. However if you asked
a question and it has been answered then yes we will close upon request either
through PM or by way of report. If you for example have a few trouble makers in
a thread then notify us. We won't close the thread if it isn't necessary but we
will handle the situation as necessary.
Well just to break it down question by question.
1) Old threads are usually defined as threads that have not received any sort of
new post in over 4 weeks. If you post in a thread that is around 4-7 weeks old
we won't necessarily close it unless what you post really doesn't fuel any
discussion as is say a general statement. Threads without new posts in over 7
weeks will be closed no questions asked. If you created a thread that ends up
without any sort of new post in over 4-7 weeks you may post or "bump"
it. So long as you actually have something to add to the conversation going
on.
2) The only thing that is ever deleted off of MT are posts, gallery items, and
groups. So please don't ask for us to delete a thread. Just try to be careful
when making it.
3) Pretty much see what I said for 1. However I will add that if you do revive
quite a few I'll say 10 old topics then a mod will say something to you and
possibly give you a warning depending on the severity of the reviving going
on.
Hope that helps, if not feel free to PM me any questions you have.
It's four weeks now. ^^' Ok, sorry on my coming back to the forum I have posted
in few old threads though they were only in the first or second page of the
forums... Some forums are quite inactive so remaking threads that are already in
the first page is pointless I think... but I will be more careful about that.
Go to forum, click on the section you like to have your topic. Before you post
your topic, make a search first. "Search" is under "Options"
on the left side. If there's no similar topic, you can click on "New
thread" to create your own.
I hope it will help you. I'm not an expert in using minitokyo though.

OK. Thanks for replying my questions. But I'm still a little confused though. "Sign", Minitokyo rules are too confusing for me.

OK. Now I understand. Thanks very much for explaining.

hi, srry, but I'm new to minitokyo. Can you tell me how to post forums?
Go to forum, click on the section you like to have your topic. Before you post your topic, make a search first. "Search" is under "Options" on the left side. If there's no similar topic, you can click on "New thread" to create your own.
