[Suggestion] More visible grave digging prevention - Sikom - 02-20-2017
Ok, so I use some other forums in addition to this one, and lately there has been more grave digging from other users. I know it has a small box over it where it says "This last post in this thread was made 90 days ago. Please only post if you have a good reason to". But to me that's not enough, as it is really easy to miss.
So my suggestion would be to have like a box you would have to tick, before posting. Which tells you the grave digging rule.
Something similar to this.

Edit:
An addition to this would be a setting so you could turn of the checkbox, still have an more prominent warning. Compared to what we have today.

As I do agree I personally find it easier to tell if the thread has exceeded the 90 days, probably because I naturally work it out. (Author of the thread, If I had ever seen the thread before, Date of thread etc).
I don't think a checkbox is necessary, although it could be visually improved so it's easier to identify.

I think it is a good idea while having some issues. Obvious @Aeolian has a point in saying that its a given whether posting will be gravedig, however putting in this checkbox creates a sort of confirmation, that way when they post they blatantly posted after agreeing to the checkbox.
I don't think its necessary, but its a cool idea that I wouldn't mind seeing.

I'll agree on this situation. We barely ever have people that grave dig on purpose. So it wouldn't be something that someone would see too much of.

I think this is a good idea... Get's my vote.
@Oni whaddya think?

Both sides of this argument are pretty solid, but I do think it's a good addition. For long-time members, it's easy to identify a dead thread, but it can be a challenge for newbies.

Which can be prevented if it were more visible.
As of now it's just a grey dark box at the bottom which tbh is difficult to realize it's there.
I don't blame them for missing it.

Mmmmh I don't know. I don't agree to the gravedigging rules anyway.
I mean I hate gravedigging but there should be more clear rules instead of "no gravedigging allowed" in general for all topics.
I hope you guys understand that almost 99.5 % of the forum's content is locked or members can't reply on because of the gravedigging rules.

It's not locked, you can still technically reply, you just aren't allowed to.

I think it's a nice idea, but probably not necessary.
