I kind of implemented that in the "search before you post" rule. As the rules shouldn't be specifically aimed at one or a number of threads. Such a thing would best be suited to a OWF Faq

But otherwise looks super. A bit iffy with the not bringing back old topics thing, as is the perculiar decision not to allow members to delete their own posts. I remember when the idea was first proposed, and no one agreed with it. I mustn't have been paying attention to what happened next, because... well, obviously.
Some old threads can be revived safely, but most cannot. As they are, well, old. As for members deleting their own posts, that was a decision made before I was a Moderator. However, I like that option the way it is

Any other suggestions, peoples?
