Locking old discussions? (4.28 / 7) (#2)

I had zeroed some of the spam that came through on Saturday and Sunday. The bulk of it (and today's) were on older threads/stories.

Is it possible/advisable to lock old stories? I mean, if someone wanted to respond to a point, they could always start a diary. Plus, if there comment was good enough to get responses, it is more likely to be seen if it is in a new diary/story.

If you were going to automate it (if SCOOP will let you), you could try:

No comments after two weeks.
No comments after the posting level drops off. (Don't count 0'd posts as when examining the posting level.) So, if you are still getting an average of say a post a day, it stays live, but if it drops below that, then lock it.

I'm sure there are other possibilities, but I can't see any real advantage to keeping the comments live on the first story here, for example.
