<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2383702, member: 24314&quot;]Here are some problems with not posting old threads&nbsp; and perhaps a solution: </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1. New members loose out on a lot of good info posted on these threads. IMHO there is at least a year of reading to do to take in most subjects.&nbsp; </p><p>2. Many are probably not aware that they can search old topics by using the &quot;search&quot; feature.</p><p>3. Reading an old discussion may raise new questions.</p><p>4. Information in an old thread may be out-of-date, incomplete, or heaven forbid <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie14" alt=":angelic:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> - not quite correct (in need of tweeking or additional discussion).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>One solution (but what moderator has the time for this) is to go through &quot;old historic threads&quot; on subjects like &quot;Cleaning&quot; and remove all the &quot;trash&quot; and lame opinions; then post the &quot;good edited&quot; info it for member review w/o members ID and let the subject get &quot;edited&quot; by each of us <span style="color: #0059b3">using color</span><span style="color: #000000"> for comments until it is finalized.&nbsp; In cases where two members agree to disagree, the mods and overwhelming opinion would pick the &quot;right&quot; info to include.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: #000000">Then that thread would be permanently posted (may already have something like this on CT).&nbsp; If a new member asks about X, we can refer him/her there.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: #000000">Finally, when all the important stuff is covered.&nbsp; All members who use CT can agree that all of their opinions are in the public domain AND THE OWNERS OF COINTALK CAN PUBLISH A BOOK <span style="color: #0059b3">(and finally get a little return for giving us the forum)</span>:&nbsp; What I learned about coins when I just asked CT&quot; or something catchy.&nbsp; </span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="color: #0059b3">I can&#039;t wait to read the &quot;titles&quot; you comedians come up with <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie46" alt=":facepalm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />while we wait for the OP to respond! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></span>&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
