disable commment suggestion?

i don't know where to start but it's more of like as a feedback (i keep it neutral)

i know some topics used to be disabled which is now enabled since the huge change on this site

isn't it usefull to do a check-up and if necessary do a double-check to see if it needs to be disabled on an outdated post🤨?

i keep mixing things up from times to times each time the comments are enabled which are from a few years old😶 (coming from someone who learned from that mistake and got a first warning)

i bet other people get things mixed up if the topic is from a few years old (especially if it's outdated)

can you consider doing a check-up from topics which is from a few years old?

i don't wanna sound too negative, i just have a difficult time wording things correctly (i hope you get what i mean though?)

you guys are doing a good job, taking care of a report, comes with a fix and closing the comment but it's always good to check topics that are from a few years old so we won't mix things up again👍

and if certain things aren't there yet you can always comment we should create new post similair to certain ideas so we won't do necro post again which are from a few years old

see it as a feedback👍

update: i especially ask this which is issues game related post which is outdated
("technical issues", "gameplay issues"  "bug reports" etc)

  • sailorleontine​  The idea of automatically locking threads that haven't had replies in a certain amount of time has been debated, but there are drawbacks that many of us think are not worth the convenience.  Among other things, some users come back to their creative/storytelling threads after an extended absence, and they should be able to pick up where they left off.

    As for checking manually, this site has over a million threads now, (the vast majority of which were ported over from Answers HQ or one of the fan sites), so the project would be effectively impossible to finish.

    If you see an older thread that's getting replies, you can click the Report button and ask that it be closed.
