Repeat topic amnesty?

So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

Repeat topic amnesty?

Post by debbiebee »

Of course I realise why there IS a policy on repeated topics and respect it, but wonder if maybe there should be some leniency shown after a certain amount of time has elapsed. Recently I had a a topic blocked which didn't even show up on the 'alerts' as the original was worded totally differently, referring to the series rather than the author, well, no doubt with counselling I'll get over it :D But I did find the 'original' was started in 2011 and the most recent post was over a year ago..

Since this is a book site, topics are still relevant no matter the date they have started. There isn't any arbitrary time limit on a topic and people can go back to it any time. The policy helps to keep the site neater and easy to navigate. It will be much difficult to navigate the site, if members keep opening new threads without any regard to old topics. 8)
