Support! This would be preeeety useful, it's not rare to get annoyed by necroposting. If this does get added, I think there should be a system like this:

1 day - 1 week inactivity = extra cooldown
1 week - 6 weeks inactivity = pop-up (like described in original post)
6 weeks - 6 month inactivity = alert
6 month - 1 year inactivity = extra cooldown, pop-up
1 year - 2 years inactivity = thread closed by bot, original poster can request to get it reopened.
2 years+ inactivity = thread closed by bot, original poster can not request to get it reopened.

I disagree with the 1 day - 1 week. Otherwise, it's pretty good.

I disagree. If no final decision has been made for the topic and the user that necro the topic thinks there can still be more, such as if a user asks for help, and it's been a year and a user still doesn't get a good answer, and then some answers and the topic is closed. This should not happen. What if a suggestion you wanted added has a topic and its old?

Yeah, I really think the best solution is just a notice above the post or a popup.

I think there shouldn't be an auto close for reasons I already stated.

Support

The time needed to make this pop up needs further discussion, evidently.

However, the base idea is great! Support!~~~~

I support. I think it should be 1-2 months.

and a bump
and a two
and a bump two three four
<insert something talking about 60 sec rule>

This seems like a good idea. I think the amount of time for how long is too long is debatable, but the idea of a popup seems good, especially for scratchers who are new to the forums.

I hope this isn't a necropost.

Agreed!

Necroposting is allowed in Suggestions and TIRAP

Curse you, 60-second rule…

Good idea. It's so annoying when you click on a topic, then find out it's from two years ago and someone reposted in it, and you tell them not to necropost, and technically you are necroposting too. ._.

I agree as you said it should only be a warning since it might be an interesting topic and you might just want to bump it.

i still like this suggestion so BUMP

Support, it saves the Scratch Team's time (and the times of other Scratchers because they don't have to report anything).
….Has a period of time been decided on when to give the pop-up? I've seen a lot of people saying 2 months, other people saying 2 weeks…
wow i've literally added nothing to the conversation yet this is not my most pathetic post

Right now I'm leaning towards 1-2 months, since the forums that are usually subject to necroposting (e.g. QaS and HwS) usually have topics resolved after less than that (a few weeks-ish).

This appears to be a duplicate: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/57890/?page=1#post-489626

It's not necroposting if it is still an open suggestion.

Wait, did you just necropost on a topic about eliminating necorposting?
