Every single day there are dozens of threads bumped in various forums that were inexplicably found and bumped and the question the person was asking is antiquated.
Is it possible to get an auto lock feature after a time of dormancy?
Thread necromancy was removed from site rules violations a long time ago, intentionally. Sometimes a user can bring new information to a long in active thread, or may want to throw their support in with a feature request.
If a user replies to a thread and doesn't add anything constructive, that falls under our non-constructive posting rule.
We won't be implementing autolocking of threads and this time.
I'm wondering has DDB actually done a data dive into how much thread necro is actually substantial contribution vs someone reigniting the thread via reiteration of things already addressed in the thread? I think spidey's comment stems from a user experience to which many other community members can relate.

The choice to remove thread necromancy as a rule violation was based on the data we had for report resolution of said reports. We can actually pull up every post reported for thread necromancy and see how they were resolved. This was used to determine that it was appropriate to remove it from site rules.
Interesting, I guess I'm curious since we're seeing a resurgence of the "D&D Beyond is a Scam" thread and I wonder about the utility of sustaining a thread that's just chock full of misinformed conjecture and sometimes factual wrong legal theories. I mean if the team thinks a designated space for everyone upset and proclaiming they put $5 down for a Hero tier subscription and didn't get full access to the PHB is constructive posting, well, ok then. Conversely such consumer dissatisfaction charged threads are likely one factor among many generating the laments over customer service and the like. I don't know what an integrated response between the customer service and mod team would look like, and I suppose it's been resigned to some sort of site redesign.

At the end, site moderation is at the pure unfiltered discretion of them. I agree with you, but if the solution for them is dealing with reports over and over again? Inudation of work? So be it, that's the path they chose.
