The person commenting an old thread should be aware of that, so I don't see what forbidding them to comment helps with.
It also depends how a newly commented post is highlighted in usrrs' feed.
See, the thing is, not everyone keeps that in mind before posting in an old thread. I've also made the assumption that the user expects a response from the og posters and/or OP, which might not necessarily be true.
I do understand that, but forbidding everyone to answer the thread seems like a radical solution for this mild problem. Maybe a more appropriate solution would be highlighting the age of the post and of the last comment.
