    I would rather see infractions given to people who reopen a thread without any good reason. Why close good threads just based on the time frame. Many have great value down the road. But if someone replies to a 2 year old thread with a completely irrelevant comment, then the problem is with the member ... not the age of the thread.

    Mods dont close BST threads once the deal is over anyway.
    They have many works to do IMO.

    If the OP can close BST threads, it would be a very good feature..

    think closed threads are bad. old or new. let people speak, and if they reply to an expired thread don't bother answering, as simple as that

    They just don't answer, this will be a source of pad posting, and also they ask of the finished offers which irritates a lot.

    Check this - http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=94222
    I ended my offer there and request the MODS to close the thread before people reply there for the offer.

    yeah!! but when they reply, they bump an old dead thread on the top.
    that bury one new thread to the next page and chances of that thread comming back on the first page is as less as myself being a Mod of DP.
