MN - What to do with zombie threads?

1 reply

WhatchaMaCalllit · 05/07/2016 12:41

I was reading a thread that was set up in 2011 and was revived a number of times since then with lengthy gaps between dates of posting.

How workable would it be to lock threads that are older than 2 years? Then if someone wants to continue the conversation, an option to create a new thread linking it to the old one (hyperlink in the first post) would be available?

Is that something that MN could look into doing? Please??

Thanks!

Hi whatchamacallit,

We've just released the zombie warning - which will show up at the top of any old threads. While we don't lock older threads, we hope this will help signal to new posters and prevent any accidental revivals.

If you report to us, we can hit the 'exclude from block' button to stop an old thread from appearing from in trending.
