I completely agree with your first point. I can’t count how many times I have visited a forum and found a thread that is answering a question almost identical to mine, but is missing one key piece of info that I need.
I hate to make a new, almost identical thread for a simple bit of added info. I honestly can’t think of a good reason in favor of time locking a thread.
If we had to however, I think your 6 month + longer as needed approach seems the most reasonable.
i stole the 6-month idea from :
Travis Skaalgard https://lemmy.ml/u/tskaalgard in present tread. He says Reddit does it. As a rule of thumb, when a big player does something, there is a good reason. Maybe this reason does not fit in here but i wouldn’t know that.
