Interestingly, new posts appear on the news server (...) (18 years ago, 21-Aug-06, to lugnet.admin.general)

Good point, Jeff - actually something like that appears ideal: User opinions are very important when it comes to the spotlight feature, so we probably want exactly this option: To be able to move a topic out of the spotlight upon request, or (...)

Okay, here's the big issue: LUGNET is based on an NNTP server, and the news system does not support such a thing as thread locking, since threads are only made up by matching subjects (and some header info) in the very first place.

You will realize that using email or NNTP for posts usually are (...) (18 years ago, 15-Jul-06, to lugnet.admin.general)
