AIBU To Request That Zombie Threads Are Not Resurrected?

Can it be a permanent sticky or put in the 'Talk Guidelines'?

It's bloody infuriating. Same threads EVERY year.

Thought you meant actual zombies. Mumsnet wouldn't be the same without discussing zombie plans.

Classics or relevant threads that are being discussed fair enough, but a lot of it is just dreary old day to day things with new posters coming on to say 'Oh me too!'

I wish that threads could be locked after a period of time, it's easy enough to link to a relevant thread rather than bump an old one.

Some old threads are worth resurrecting occasionally though. They're very funny.

No I don't mean repeat threads, I mean Zombie threads.

Zombie Thread= Threads that are a year old or even older and somebody searches the archive and posts on them which bumps them up to 'Active Threads' again.

I don't think MrsCrimbo means not discussing the same topics, that's inevitable. I think she means posting on very old threads.

If threads which get repeated all the time were banned there would be no threads. Mumsnet would die.
