The forum should be set up so that moderators would have less to do anyways.

This of course brings me back to one of my earlier threads - this forum doesn't need a hundred moderators.

Then the moderators don't have much to do. A majority of the stuff I do is lock old topics, I'm not sure if it's because I'm not assigned to a forum, so I can't delete them, or just because that's the majority of problems. But, that would make a moderator's job way too easy.

It shouldn't take extra "software". I haven't used phpBB in a long, long time, but auto-locking old topics is a feature included in many forum scripts, so I'd assume phpBB would have it too. Even if it doesn't, somebody has probably created a mod/hack/plugin for it.

Admin couldn't care less about the website. So this ain't gonna happen. It would be nice though.

Now, I'm not a computer expert, but I think that would take some extra software. Would it be a nice feature? Yes of course, but it more that likely would cost the admin a pretty penny

Why not just set the forum to auto-lock old topics (say after a month or so?) in the Feedback section?

It just seems like that would be easier than having moderators manually lock an old topic after it has been revived.
