Personally I think this would be better than having all the old ones in Discussion stay and even for those not of the opinion, it won’t do any harm to do it ofc
As I say, it is genuinely difficult to see the value in doing this. It is very rare for people to "gravedig" ancient threads by posting something new on them, and if this ever occurred in circumstances which Moderation felt were inappropriate, you would always have the option of dealing with that by simply locking the thread or deleting the post.
The Moderator time it would take to perform all of this rather pointless "archiving" would arguably be better invested in other priorities, such as sorting out the numerous outdated/erroneous/misleading "Random Fact" running along the bottom of the gamescreen, organising the World Congress General Assembly President and Security Council President elections (which are 3 weeks overdue) or resolving the ongoing confusion over whether Endralon is current Culturally Protected or Culturally Open.
