There are some threads that are pinned, but some information has been outdated for a while, as we know how quickly things change in crypto industry. Unfortunately, some OPs have left the forum for good. What can be done to make sure the information members consume is updated and not misleading

Take an example of this post by Lauda - [General] Bitcoin Wallets - Which, what, why?

1. Unpin the posts and encourage members to create a new similar updated post that can be pinned?
2. Let Mods edit out the outdated information?

I like you observations.

And I think what you should is take it a step further by making updating it in new thread. And then the decisions will be left to the mods to correct. One of the users _act_ did something a little similar.

In this quote you can see how he started:

That list has not been updated since 2020, and I do not have time to update it. If there is someone who has time and can continue to update it, I will support him. I will lock this topic within 48 hours.
I have interest to know more about the lightning network wallets recently and it will be my pleasure to begin new thread about it and be updating it.

And on April 28, he created/updated the thread  - Lists of open-source bitcoin lightning wallets

I therefore encourage you do it.
