@bmoran4 posted:Suggestion: Disable the "post response" functionality for topic that has not been active (in the past 30/60/90/? days) behind an acknowledgement speed bump. I would hope that it would cause some to pause if they are informed they are waking a topic that has been idle for 648 days. Now, just to be clear, there are legitimate reasons to revisit an idle topic and so I am not advocating for automatic absolute topic closures, just something to highlight the idle age and provoke thought.
Neither advocating for nor against, rather wanting to understand your suggestion better, would you please explain in more detail the benefit(s) you foresee to this?
Also, the suggested implementation is unclear to me, if hypothetically an older post's reply functionality were disabled (either automatically or otherwise), how would you suggest that someone could reply with a "Legitimate" reason?
