So I have this idea, which is featured in quite a lot of forums, and I've noticed there is a few old posts with this.

Bascially, you have a rule where if a post is a certain age it will be closed, so it can be viewed but not posted on, this would stop people dragging up topics from last year, just to make a spelling correction (or other reasons tongue ). I also think that if moderators think it is suitable then they should close more posts, as this would help the problem also.

Edit: just realised this already exists (at least I think so), but I think it should be a lot stronger (so it takes less time for it to be closed)

Thanks for listening!

Rum.

I think it's fine like it is.
The only addition I would make is a line of text in red bold saying:
This thread is X months old. Please do not post unless you have a valuable contribution to make, which you think is still relevant.

Bringing up old threads can be for a good reason when you wish to ask a related question. I think it's fine as it is and I think this thread should really go in 'suggestions' smile
