We need a child board for complaints about deleted posts.

Or perhaps a child board for bluefirecorp_ who can't seem to fit into adult intertubes.

Maybe implement a platform that locks old posts then? I'm pretty sure reddit implements a feature similar to this.

Why are you here and not on reddit then?

Actually, that'd probably cut down on the spam; except there's like 6 posts per week whining about deleted posts. Better off creating one for ban appeals and account recovery.

Also, just because a forum or software implements a certain feature set doesn't make it an amazing, all-inclusive, best platform. Reddit has all sorts of problems.

That sounds like a reasonable solution when necrobumping isn't allowed, but I have no clue as to how the forum software works and I bet there's not an easy, automated way to do it.

I'm sure when the new forum software comes along in 100 years, all these problems will be fixed.

I'd be willing to bet the javascript trash forum that we're supposedly migrating to won't allow that feature without months of changes. Pretty sure you could just add a query to the existing forum to check the age of the most recent post, and if it's greater than several months; disallow the post. SMF probably wouldn't be that hard to extend.
