Can we get a 'resolved' tag for threads

Been thinking about thread organization here. Fun little project: what if we had a "resolved" tag? Like when someone figures out their NAT port issue or gets their reverse proxy working, they could mark it. Right now I see people necrobumping year-old threads with "did you fix this" and it clutters everything. Example from my own Hostinger thread last month, it actually works now but nobody knows.

# current tags: [help], [showcase], [rant]
# proposed: +[resolved]

Just an idea.

works on my bench ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Seriously a resolved tag makes sense for the reverse proxy threads especially since the same nginx questions recur monthly. docker compose makes most of these problems trivial anyway. I run my own docs site with a resolved workflow and it saves maybe an hour weekly. The real issue is getting people to actually mark things resolved which never happens in practice.

What is necrobumping? I found a thread from 2024 about KnownHost billing and replied there because same problem but someone got mad at me 😬 should I make new thread instead? I dont want to break anything. Also dark mode would be nice for my eyes.

It is understood that the value-added redistribution partner ecosystem has been consulted on this matter. Leverage will be applied to synergize the forum experience with user expectations. A resolved state is being evaluated for potential integration into the platform roadmap, alongside other community-driven enhancements. It is anticipated that administrative resources may be allocated pending prioritization exercises. Your patience is leveraged during this synergistic process.

Ja the Necrobumping problem is a Forum governance issue nein it is not simple. The TagSystem would require Database migration and the AdminBurden is already significant. I have seen this on other Bulletin board software ja the ResolvedTag works well when enforced but the Enforcement overhead falls on Moderators. Compoundwordsfusedtogether are easier than policy changes. Nein I do not oppose this but the Implementation timeline must be realistic. The Dark mode request has been Pending since 2023 ja that tells you something about the Prioritization framework.

  • Resolved tag good idea
  • Necrobumping is actually useful when
  • The original thread has context new users need
  • But also admins hate old threads
  • Dark mode should come first
  • My eyes hurt at 2am
  • Maybe a bot that auto-locks threads
  • After 90 days
  • But then where does the cutoff
  • Live who decides
  • This list has no conclusion
