Closing threads (automatically)?
-
Hi Franzk,
there were already many discussions on this, and also some suggestions in JIRA "here":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTWEBSITE-123
By the way: Moderators can't close threads, I tried :-)

Why would you ever close a thread, other than if the discussion gets out of hand? If there are no more reactions to it, then fine, it is inactive. But that does not mean that at some later stage, it may be very relevant again and new information can be added. That can make the thread a more valuable resource for reference later on.

Just like mentioned in other treads and on the bug report Gerolf linked to, I prefer something that indicates that the problem is solved. This functionality will come with the QA upgrade and the reputation system we are planning.
We want to implement some "thanks" and "that did it" kind of buttons that marks a problem as solved and gives Karma to the poster that gave the final hint. How does that sound?

See my comment here: https://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/2272/#12606
Basically, I don't think we should close threads unless there is a special reason to do so.

That sounds great! If not to say "+1" :-P

Waiting this.

Really good news (just to avoid +1 response... :))
Anyway, the project elf somehow proved (at least for me) that we should somehow differentiate between "point collectors" and real helping hands.
