I know this isn't really common, or a major issue, or really a problem at all, but more of just an idea.
If you don't know, necro posting is when you comment or push an old/dead thread back into the active ones. This can be anoying to many as it's been seen before and moved on from... blah blah blah you get the gist.
But a simple solution I thought of and am presenting here is to have threads automatically become locked to new comments, but still visible, after say, 3 months of inactivity.
An example of this problem can be seen in speediar's potion guide from 2016

This probably happened when the new member google searched something like "how to make lingering potions on manacube" and clicked on this link.
These kinds of questions are pretty easy to answer like I did, but I guess the main question from this is if the annoyance or transgression of the necropost outweighs the work put in to deal with it.
What do you think of adding a time limit to threads being open to comments? To me there is a very interesting philosophical aspect to this aswell.
