The forum has policy of not resurrecting old threads, yet we often see old threads being reopened usually by brand new correspondents, who have either not read the form's rules, or not understood them or are trying to deliberately pull a fast one or a scam. Regardless of the individuals reasons, it often requires one of our moderators to intervene and lock the thread to new posts.
Might I suggest the Forum techies look to see if there is any way that threads not posted too for more than whatever period is deemed reasonable are automatically locked with screen message to inform the viewer to consider opening a new thread, thus preventing old threads from being resurrected.
