Highlight Threads with no replies

Wasn’t sure what tag to put on this since there isn’t a “Forum Suggestions” area

A lot of posts, usually posts asking for help, go completely unnoticed or ignored and then get buried by more recent threads. I’m assuming like other forums “thread bumping,” which is making a filler reply to move the thread to the top, and reposting are both against the rules, so unless you can find some way to add more info to a thread about a problem it just never gets solved.

Mainly posting this since it’s happened to me several times, including this one

Swapped the topic to “Website, Forum, and Wiki Feedbacks”

I do think that would be cool. GDevelop could do something like a sub category in the How do I...? section, maybe something like “Unsolved”?

My idea is that after one week of a How Do I topic getting no replies, it would be moved to their. Then, after 30 days or something, it would be deleted (or just moved back to How Do I automatically) if it had no replies.

Not going to lie, this might be not only needed for How Do I as pretty important feature requests go unnoticed (or feel like they are unnoticed) by GDevelop.

I just thought of another way this could work!

GDevelop already has a Solved tag, but that is really only for feature requests. What if GDevelop made 2 new tags, #CommunitySolved and #Unsolved which TL3+ could access. Then, when a new post is made, a TL3+ could drop it in the #Unsolved section, and when it gets solved it can be moved to #CommunitySolved that way people who struggle with that problem in the future could solve it. There might be a little issue if the topic is just replied with “I solved it.” with no explanation, which in that case it might just be dropped into How Do I with no tags. I think this would be really nice because even if a post has [SOLVED] at the Beginning, I still don’t know if there is a good explanation for it or etc.

What do you think about this?
