I want to see the posts and comments from 1999 not some edgy guy commenting 20 years in the future.

I like this, this is the most compelling argument I've heard for using the archive feature. Maybe we can make this archive date configurable per sub. As it stands right now, this is a global setting, and we definitely don't want a sitewide 150 day archive.

Edit: maybe being able to sort comments by 'old' solves this too.

Thanks for taking my idea into consideration. I think making the archive date configurable per sub is the way to go.

Should mods be allowed to lock individual posts? I don't support this kind to locking tho.

Locking seems opposed to having open debates, so I doubt we'll add that. That's why we don't have archiving too.

Can you add optional archiving (with the method stated above) please?

I can added it to the large TODO list, but unless you build a consensus or demand for this feature, it's not going to get done for a few months or more. Do you intend to start a sub here and use it?

Once my account is 2 weeks old I'm going to create a new sub. It's okay if it takes a few months though, no need to rush it.
