Autolock for the threads at BitTorrent News

[Fractal]

I've seen more than one time some threads at BitTorrent News section being bumped by useless coments like "nice to know", so my suggestion is for them to have a determined period of time to be open for replies, after X days they get closed, or to don't allow them to be replied.

I think that section isn't the place to discuss, and thanking the post is a perfect way to say "good to know", most part of the times is a newb who does that to increase his post count, like today at this thread:
PTN new invite system
Some guys (not TG) bumped a 2 months old dead thread. If you don't look closely to the thread date you may be confused by it, not to mention the extra work for the moderators to check the spams, delete it and close the thread by themselves.

That section is most certainly a place to discuss the current events in the bittorrent world. I agree that the spam is annoying but thankfully we have a good team to clear it out as necessary. Auto closing those threads will only to serve to prevent people from actually discussing the news of the day. Thanks for the suggestion, though, and keep them coming!
