Newbies so often start threads and then abandon their account when conversations do not go their way. Then other newbies come along and reply to the OP that hasn't been online for weeks.
It would be nice to have a notice near the name if the user has not logged in a while. i.e: (Inactive for 6 days). Could just be for newbies, or for every topic starter.
The warning "This post is xx days old!" does not address this issue.

It could be useful for other forum members, but would that stop newbies from replying to such threads? I don't think so.
Most often, newbies don't even read the opening post, they rush to the last page of the topic and find something to write about what others have written on that page. So even though I think this can be a good addition for members who care about such things, this wouldn't necessarily solve the issue you have mentioned.
And, I think instead of writing "Inactive for xx days!" around the post starter, it should say something like, "Latest activity: [date]" or something like that because most of the time, people don't abandon their accounts but they abandon the threads they have started while staying active around the forum.

Why it sounds like people should only reply a thread if the poster is active?
I don't see anything wrong when people reply to inactive poster because the discussion isn't only for the poster, but other people that interested with the discussion can learn something and ask other questions in that thread.

Interesting suggestion bro but this is an open forum we are not partaking of information between ourselves we are sharing the information we have here on the internet for those interested in the topic. So if one newbie drops a discussion that will become relevant for many weeks, months, or even generations it doesn't matter even if he signs up then post that discussion, and then leaves, as long as the discussion is relevant and there's a possibility of continuity.

I also agree with this, a topic does not have to be aimed solely at its creator. It can be useful for any user. I understand the point raised by the OP, I sometimes check this information myself before posting. Even so, if the question raised by the OP is somewhat coherent, despite him having "disappeared", it remains a question that deserves an answer.

I agree with plaguedeath and joker_josue.
I have learnt from many threads that I was not a part of. If any poster had stopped replying cause the thread starter had been inactive, I'ld have not gotten to read their posts, except I commented asking further questions or created my own topic further cluttering the board.
Besides it doesn't matter to most if the topic starter is active. Within a couple of minutes, hours at most each thread gets the answer the op is looking for. This doesn't stop anyone from posting the same answer in different ways to either fulfill their post count or increase their activity.
I'll encourage reporting threads that have gotten their answer to be locked by the mods.

I've seen many threads where the authors of those threads are banned, yet discussions continue in those threads.

It would be nice to have a notice near the name if the user has not logged in a while. i.e: (Inactive for 6 days). Could just be for newbies, or for every topic starter.
Even if this is implemented and a notice is added, it wouldn't still stop users who want to reply to that topic from doing so, thus it does not change anything. Even so, if the question raised by the OP is somewhat coherent, despite him having "disappeared", it remains a question that deserves an answer.
Correct, particularly if there is a new information to add to the topic or if there are wrong and misleading ideas in the thread that needs to be corrected.

In short it depends on the topic started by the Owner. And also I agree with this mate not all topics are too useful but it it depends on the main purpose of the topic. Some topics are useful so some of the time many users will reply on that thread and also those users who reply us that they will give thier ideas or learned something from other users. So if the Poster is in active then the thread he/she made will still active because of the useful topics. Anyways it won't long last forever. There's a chance that the topic will close so the users will not gonna make a reply.

$1m? Did I just read the op correctly, vod? Newbies so often start threads and then abandon their account when conversations do not go their way. Then other newbies come along and reply to the OP that hasn't been online for weeks.
That only happens mostly on introductory threads IMHO. We've got a few more of 'em that would come around and ask questions, then disappear just about the time the topic becomes debatable. As long as Bitcointalk remains a forum for frequent discussion, that could be useful - depending on what the context says! [ofcourse, ain't they creative newbies?]It would be nice to have a notice near the name if the user has not logged in a while. i.e: (Inactive for 6 days). Could just be for newbies, or for every topic starter.
Again, If Theymos considers this to be perfect, it could go for an adoption. Personally, I don't think it's necessary i.e ( if the budget for the hosting is exactly what you described)

The warning "This post is xx days old!" does not address this issue.
BPIP extension from a new team, after you left that project, has it for the extension users because I saw some people made screenshots with Inactive, DT1, DT2 badge. The BPIP team can build it up for Inactive last 6 days or 30 days. The current Inactive status with BPIP is based on forum criteria on inactive users, I remember it is 6 months. From idea of that extension, let's see will PowerGlove can do anything if he has time.

Bpip extension has this "Inactive" besides the name for inactive users, it will be a temporary solution if this will be added there as well. Well, for that purpose, this will not prevent others to reply the thread just like other mentioned not unless the thread is lock or reported to be locked.

I got the imporession that situation is completely opposite, people reading only the opening post and totally ignoring everything else, which isn;'t any better than the situation that you explained. As for the suggestion of a new feature, I woulnd't mind having something like that, but I don't think that it will make people actually paying attention to who are they repying.

Sadly this will not help in 98% of the cases. Many, even older members, post without reading. Many answer to the title and don't even read the content. And so on, and so on. And the very few ones who would maybe notice that "flag" under the OP name... would be stopped also by a "This post is xx days old!" warning. And yes, as some said, there are valid cases the discussion can just go on. BPIP extension from a new team, after you left that project, has it for the extension users because I saw some people made screenshots with Inactive, DT1, DT2 badge.
I strongly believe that Vod knows that and his topic is about newbies/newcomcomers, not about the ones who stay around for long enough to find out about the BPIP extension.

It would be a good addition, but I often see that beginners or even not-so-newbies can respond to topics created several months ago that have long since lost their relevance. Therefore, hanging a sign for those who have no eyes will be a waste of time. Normal people should monitor the author’s activity on their own; it’s not difficult. In other cases, you can ask the moderators to close the topic since the author has already received dozens of replies, and the moderators, fortunately, are always very responsive.

I got the imporession that situation is completely opposite, people reading only the opening post and totally ignoring everything else, which isn;'t any better than the situation that you explained. I think it depends on the boards, in the BD sections or the Economics they just look at the OP, in the gambling sections mega topics they just rephrase what the last poster was saying and that's it, no way spammers would waste their time watching enough football or basketball matches to actually know what they are talking about. Anyhow, I don't see how the idea would improve anything, spammers ignore warnings about old topics and still necrobump them, no way they will care about another tag.

$1m? Did I just read the op correctly, vod? Eh, that's about the move to epochtalk having a budget bigger than some gaming companies and being in development for a decade.

Your response is thoughtful and brings up valid points.
You acknowledge the potential usefulness of indicating inactive users but highlight that it might not deter newbies from replying to old threads. You suggest that newbies often skip reading the opening post and instead focus on the latest activity, so a notice about the last activity might be more effective. Overall, you provide constructive feedback while proposing an alternative approach to addressing the issue.

It will not deter newbies from posting if they are posting only to increase their post count. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) It might help shoo away the older members who know that there is no reason to comment and add to the previous replies but only reply is something new has come up which is relevant and on point (aka not a necropost) Hence I would support this idea, something like "OP has not logged in for this many days/ This thread is so may years old" might make some level of impact on necroposting or allow the poster to get backlinks from this forum to their shit-site. << a good example is one such thread in "Gambling" where the Newbie's sole intention was to promote a site and so they made the post and then left their account.

This idea is cool but I if it can be more applicable to very old and dead topic, that will be fine. A topic that the OP is just offline for 6 day or some weeks should not qualify for such classifications but rather a dead topic which the OP have not been active for some number of months or a year and also if the thread is long dead.

Such information will certainly not prevent beginners and many others who have been on the forum for a long time from writing something in the topic, regardless of how long the OP has not been active and regardless of the fact that the question has been answered several times.
What would perhaps be a better solution is that the topic is automatically locked after x days after the OP publishes the last post in the topic. That way, we could prevent topics from turning into spam megathreads. It's not just beginners, we also have members with higher ranks who open a topic and never come back to comment on anything.
