Twice tonight I’ve opened up a thread to find they are ancient. One was 15 years old.
I know it gets asked all the time but please think about locking threads over a year old.

But the soap thief one was deliberately revived for a reason by an established poster. That's very different to spammers posting all over the place on random threads.

There's never a good reason to bump a 15 year old thread no matter how 'established' 🙄 you are.

Oh and if you read the opening post it's obvious from the date.

The hotel bathroom items one? Thankfully spotted that was an old/ zombie thrrad straight off but annoyingly have fallen for them before, good idea op.
