Can we disable necroposting on this forum?
#6
With all that has changed in the past few / several months (TESU cornerstone, TESU's rejection of Shmoop credits, addition of the new Study.com courses, etc), a lot of (or most?) information that was really good -- no longer is.

It's easy to get tripped up on the date if someone necroposts and others follow, especially new people that aren't considering the possibility of old threads. I don't think any posts should be deleted, but a lot of us have probably gotten tripped up a few times when old posts get revived. And then people reply to your necropost to let you know that you're necroposting and the dead thread animates again!

I don't know if there's an option to retire specific threads as opposed to blanket retiring all posts of a certain age. I think it's more important in a forum like this because a one-course mistake could cost someone a lot of time and or money if they're trying to complete things within deadlines, to avoid recurring fees, etc.

It's not a major issue, so if most people want to keep open old threads, then it might make sense to just keep it the way it is.
