I just think that we are getting overly complex in our quest here folks... The low-tech answer is to have a thread-maker be responsible for their threads. If it is a thread by a non-mamber, then if they abandon it we can close it if needed... These threads are the life blood of the wiki! Do we really want to just close them? It's our knowlage-bank! Our DNA... Answers to questions... Wow! That is just huge! If I have an answer to a question thats two years old, does that make the question less relevent? Or the answer less useful? There is real value in being able to mark threads as containing A+ answers, as that is what will attract new users and is what the purpose of the wiki is: to answer questions... These games are glitchy nightmares! Yet, we love them! So, users have a need for work-arounds and they have questons about lore, because lore is TES games is awesome! So, a community formed, all Ad-Hock to fill those needs... It's just beautiful! Keep that in mind! Let us play to our strengths here... If you ask a question, it is polite to thank the person(s) who provide the answers you are looking for. In the same post you let it be known that the answers are good. Thus when another user searches that same question, they will see that there are answers to be had. This is a good thing! If that new user should rate the answer quality, and thus bump the thread, oh well... Are we somehow poorer for it?
