Re: I had a thunk about this.
And they often post to older threads (which is why they mess up the "All topics" page)
Maybe a "do you really want to do this?" dialog should be created if someone tries tpocketed a reply to a thread that has been inactive for more than a certain period of time (6 months? 3 months maybe?) - with the default as "cancel" just to be sure.
It'd be a good way to warn people trying to reply to long dead thread, and I think it would trap robo-spammers, too.
