hedwards: Is there any way that we could have really old posts just locked on their own?

If a post doesn't receive any activity for a year or two, it seems to me that it ought to be just auto-locked to spare us all the necroposting. In the case where it's an actual useful post, chances are that we've all forgotten what was in the original thread anyways and a nice new thread would help keep track.

Or if that's not good enough, it would be nice to have some indication that it's a necropost other than having to look at the relatively small grey date which is inconveniently located.

Also, friends don't let friends engage in necroposting.
I think all posts that are more than 2 years old should be locked and then deleted after 2 more years pass. There is no good reason to necro a thread that is 2 years old or older.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go play some ZORK.

Nah, that's light. Let's also delete the accounts of the necromancers, and their affiliate/real accounts. Two birds, one stone.

Aaaand then unlock the threads because it's not really necessary, and wasn't a problem to begin with.

It still won't fix the imaginary problem, a new internet will just pop up. Let's nuke the planet.

According to the Drake equation there must be other civilized planets out there, so we need to wipe out the universe for good measure.

What if Drake is just a troll that wasn't banned in time due to lack of moderation? Can we be sure? I call for an inquisition before we proceed with bombing.

Nobody does, that's the key! We should throw this in the wishlist, that'll solve the burning problem.
