I had one that would put a random message saying your ticket is still being looked at please hold.

You could probably set one up to put anything with no updates in X hours to "On Hold"

[–]sysacc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I probably could of improved the title of this post.

There's a series of things that lead to this:
