You should make it that at the end of every 6 hours, the thread that is last out of all of them will get deleted. This way it will stop the clutter and so on but only do it for the tf2 item trading and tf2 item selling/buying forums. This is just an idea and Im not sure if you can make it work.

Based on what your trying to achieve, it would make more sense to assign a 'kill date' or archive date based on last post in a thread. The way you propose it, if the section is ever quiet or cleaned up, it could delete newer threads.

What about if an admin would do this so if they see a rep thread, they wont delete it and just delete the one above?

i dont think you guys get it. All the admins would need to do is go to the last thread and delete it. it would only take like 30 seconds. And thanks for all the negative feedback as i was just trying to suggest an idea...

Delete the oldest thread every six hours? That won't solve anything.

30 seconds x 300 threads = i don't get paid enough to do that.

i thought it would help with clutter and all that but i guess not. Because after like a couple months then there would only be active threads like ones that have been posted in, in the last week.

not enough... 0 is also not enough...
and nah, old treads should still be there.
But a automatic remover of all posts with only "bump" or "*BUMP*" after 2 hour etc....
