Can we disable necroposting on this forum?

[topdog98]

If our owner and mods see old posts as a problem, I'd vote for locking instead of removing.... but seriously, is this a solution in search of a problem?  Every post has the date on it - someone accidentally posts on an old thread, oh well - seriously, we want the volunteers to do more work and track that crap down?  Dude.  Really.

But volunteers wouldn't have to do any more work. The idea was that posts would automatically be locked to new replies after a year or two of inactivity. (There are algorithms for that kind of thing.) No one was suggesting that the moderators search and manually lock every post that is inactive. Yes, that would be ridiculous.
