[Idea] Revive Topic Panel

[Idea] Revive Topic Panel


Recently, I saw something on the forums when browsing which was a Revive Topic Panel! Currently, the Revive Topic Panel looks like this:

It looks different for dark theme users :)

Typically, it shows if the post you are about to post on is ~ 6 months old or older. However, I had a couple of ideas / suggestions for the panel! :smiley:

Note: I don’t know if any of these are possible via Discourse; if not, please tell me ;-;


Suggestion 1: Post Age

From what I’ve seen, most unintentional necro-posts occur within the 6-month range. Therefore, my suggestion was to make it so this date was changed to help decrease the number of necroposts!

Here’s why I think this would be beneficial:

  1. It could help reduce the number of necroposts
  2. It would be a cool addition!

Suggestion 2: Verification

This idea is where you would be required to select a box-like thing that verifies you know it’s going to bump the post up, like this:

:black_square_button: Replying to this post will bump the post up.

NOTE: This suggestion is the one I’m not sure about. I’m not 100% sure if this is doable.


The only downside I see to this is all forum users should already know the rules, but it’s still a great idea! :stuck_out_tongue:

These are just my ideas! What do you think about it? :slight_smile:
