Autolocking Threads that have not had a response in over a year

IMO it would be really useful to stop the necromancy of threads for SE to have a script lock any thread that has not had a post in over a year.

Six months would be better. Maybe less.

Make it 3 weeks.

I would be behind this initiative

45 days. Make it the same as the housing timer.

Yes, so instead to keep threads from being locked users will necro threads annually or biannually. Then again, that's done anyway. I don't think this would really solve anything.

Could this process even be automated on these forums in the first place?

It’s a good idea. There should be a limit and 1 years seems fair enough.

You'd have to be pretty desperate for attention if you're willing to necro your threads on an incredibly regular basis.

It gets done quite often around here actually, it seems. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If it's done nightly, once you get through the initial chunk of locks, it wouldn't be that much of an issue TBH.
