Poster deliberately spamming/bumping zombie threads from 2010 on FWR

[ahagwearsapointybonnet]

Poster NewMauveGoose seems to be deliberately chucking nonsense onto multiple very old threads, presumably to mess up the board/hide newer threads, please can you kick them off? Ta!

Yes please as its rather annoying to open threads and seeing that their 16 years old

interruptaron ahoy!

I’ve just bumped a few current ones. Silver lining- it was nice seeing some of the old names!

The next time MN tweaks its technology, please could any posting of a thread more than three years old be automatically referred for moderation.

Or, much better and less effort, just close threads more than a year old. If the topic needs revisiting the OP can start a new thread and include a link to the earlier discussion.

That’s a brilliant idea.

Second this

15 years I've been suggesting this.

Good luck!

I knew I'd seen someone else suggesting it more than once. All the more reason to keep saying it.

Definitely, it's something that pre-dated even 15 years I think.

I'm wondering if they won't do it because if we linked to an old thread (especially one that wasn't ours), it would technically be a TAAT?

Hi all, and thanks for your suggestions. The recent bumping was the work of a troll - thanks to those who reported it. We’re now going through your ideas about zombie threads and will update once we’ve had a proper look. We appreciate the feedback.
