I have asked this more than once, and I will ask it again with the hope of (finally) getting an answer:
When someone brings back an old thread, how old do you think the last answer should be to report that reply / user? (my rule of thumb is around 3 months, but I would like to hear opinions on that). Regarding this issue, I think inactive threads should be automatically locked (after x weeks / months, allowing only the OP to unlock them).

* SebastianJu was once banned for this, was not?

SebastianJu, you were temporarily banned because you kept making multiple posts in a row, which that could have been posted in one. You have been warned about this before and having a paid signature doesn't help.

Example 1
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1306301.msg13885766#msg13885766
Four consecutive posts that could have been posted in one.

Example 2
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1359877.msg13886091#msg13886091
Another 3 consecutive posts.

Example 3
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1359877.msg13887359#msg13887359
Another 3 consecutive posts.

Example 4
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1359877.msg13890264#msg13890264
Another 2.

Example 5
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1359877.msg13890417#msg13890417
Another 2.

These are just five examples from yesterday and today. I'm pretty sure I could have found more, but I'm not going to bother.

This was not an automated ban, but I've written (and I'm running) a bot that checks posts made by newbies.
