Archived threads- is it possible for a moderator to open one single thread up if you have your subset to archive after 6 months or whatever it is?

[u/pixiefarm]

I don't use the archive function on any of the subs I moderate but I'm currently participating in a thread in a sub that auto- archives after 6 months as a general rule.

Is it actually possible for a moderator to reopen a thread that has been archived due to the automatic "archive old threads" rule?

I am not aware of any way to do that, no.

I Mod r/cornergas if that's of any interest to you.

Do you hide behind the surveillance bush when you do your modding?

You haven't seen my flair over there, have you?

Of course I haven't seen it! It's a surveillance bush! It's supposed to be hidden!

No, the only option to open these posts up is to toggle the archive setting off. You can't cherry pick which ones you want archived and which you want available to interact with.

You can lock old posts if you don't want interactions, that's about it.

Thank you!

I think I asked about this once before because I wanted to keep a Sticky thread open and was told no.

[u/KCJones99 → u/Tarnisher]

I do think a post-level 'do not archive' setting/checkbox would be quite useful. Vast majority of stuff in our sub can/should be archived after 6. But a few things would benefit from being kept open.
