Since people are too stupid to read the rules on necroposting, why not just auto-lock threads after their "expiration date" so necroposting is impossible?

An exception would have to be made for threads like game wiki pages.

It's not a new idea, I've just been too lazy to look through the mods for one. ^ᴗ^ I'll take a look.

EDIT: Aaaand there's nothing of the sort on the MyBB mod site. :/

I haven't used it myself, but it sounds like this plugin should do the trick.

Plenty of other places have auto-locking, but reviving old threads isn't always 100% a bad thing. As long as the post is relevant and provides more information (timely information, in the case of solving problems), then it's not something we frown upon. It's kind of silly to say something like "Hey, you're 6 months too late, what you want to add to this discussion is irrelevant, end of story" which is why necroposting is handled manually now, so Forum Staff can make the call.

To be clear, what we don't like are people that post from 2009-era threads asking for help. Certainly, threads 2+ years old are perfect targets for mass lockdown, but I can see where a number of exceptions should apply even if we stick to a hard date. Again, bumping an old thread has to be meaningful in some way.

I think we need to gauge whether or not it's a frequent enough problem that needs to be addressed with such a broad measure. How many cases of necroposting do we really handle? Consider that clueless users would just make new threads to do their, for lack of a better word, shitposting. We'll always have to deal with these kinds of people online in some way. That's just my dos centavos.

That's Automove, for moving threads of a certain age to a closed thread location. We wouldn't really want to do that. :/
