I know the Org has implemented a way to stop people for resurrecting threads that are more than a year old. The way is to have a threads automatically locked after a certain time period like say 6 months. Is it possible to implement something like that? It does get really annoying when people bring back threads that are really old especially ones in the Anime forum.

I don't know if forum suggestions are allowed here so I'm sorry if I posted in the wrong one.

The option to do this is available to us, but we'd decided against it because sometimes people actually have something relevant to add that makes reviving the thread reasonably acceptable.
