Re: [Magazine] Closing comments on old articles?

I think having a category or some kind of tag to mark articles as 
time-sensitive is a good idea - I also think there are some articles 
that might be better for a longer commenting period and others that are 
useful only for a specific window of time (as mentioned with specific 
Fedora releases). I think this also depends on the author's activity 
with the magazine too.

Cheers,

How do folks feel about time-limiting open comments on articles?  We
often see comments coming in on old articles.  We can't reasonably
expect authors to monitor these forever.  It seems to me like 30 days
should be enough time to allow comments, considering the curve of
hits
we see on the articles.

What do other folks think?

Hello Paul,

good point, sometimes I'm really bored about seeing comments on old
posts; but there are some evergeen post we should leave open (e.g
[1][2][3]) or open for a long time.

IMO posts not related to the release or a specific version of software
should be open for more than 30 days.

Is there a way (e.c. categories) to handle these terms? Are we able to
distinguish amongst posts? Also, are we able to remind to the author
his post is going to be closed, so he can ask to leave open if he
considers that its cycle is not ended?

Thanks.

Gabri
