But how old does a thread need to be for the boards auto-lock feature to take effect?

Really? I haven't heard anything about that before. I could imagine a timer is set after the last reply, but thats about as far as I'm willing to stretch my imagination for that concept. But of course you could be correct since I personally have little to no knowledge on this subject which is of course why I created this thread.

How long a thread will go without being locked depends on how active the thread was. I have no power to change those settings - I believe they're hard-coded into the software.

It was in a thread called "mandatory locks". It's at the top of the second page.

Yes there is. It is designed to lock very old threads.

I believe it was meant to prevent the likes of whaleblood from getting worse.

yeah you're right! i've been checking and it looks like it works like this:

any thread which last post was made more than 6 months ago will be locked

I think that that's the general time frame for it, but as I posted earlier, it apparently works based on how long the thread was active for.
