"Warning Message" when replying to unsolved topics over a month old

General
1

Hi everyone,

With my recent guide on necroposting, I think it would be nice to have a “warning message” when attempting to reply to unsolved topics with more than a month of inactivity. By “warning message”, I mean the text popup when you try to reply to a topic with a solution, or that has been flagged. I’m unsure of the configurations admins are able to do, so will I need to post this on Discourse Meta?

Something like the following would be suitable

Hi @bobastley that’s a good idea. However if the topic has been solved it is set to auto-close after seven days. Would a warning message be more useful for unsolved topics with no posts for over 30 days?

Oops! Sorry, I had just clicked one of the random 2-month-old suggestion topics to test. Maybe it should be lowered.
