I have seen quite a few very old posts get fresh replies lately. I’m not saying to lock the threads, but can we at least maybe have a pop-up or some sort of signal to these people that the posts are old? Maybe if the thread hasn’t been replied to in over six months. They should have some sort of warning before they’re allowed to continue with a reply.
We do not close threads based on date. There is no rule that old threads cannot be brought back to active. While there was a brief time when old threads were auto-locked, and the Guidelines included a rule about old threads, neither are no longer (and hasn't been for a while) valid. Any recent actions would have been in error.
