As requested by some users here is a poll to get the public opinion on the cleanup of unanswered posts.

I would be happy to see unanswered posts deleted, provided they are reviewed first.

For example, if the post is a really useful bit of information or instruction which may not warrant a reply - it should stay (perhaps as a sticky).

On the other hand some of the posts are no longer of any relevance yet remain. Unfortunately some of then are sticky so clutter up the top of the page.

Perhaps there should be another 'clean-up' for stickies - perhaps just a demotion to an ordinary post (if possible) rather than deletion being considered too.

i think if somthing is left unresloved for 3 months then it should be removed as giving that time limit will allow others and the original poster to respond with a remidy the problem and post an update.

im talking here about threads that have only one post that we never heard from again or if the person got the problem sorted, as know one on the forum had been able to help

Or, just plain old common sense, rather than hard and fast rules.

I think the common sense route is more appropriate.

A hard and fast rule might cause complications and sometimes people do post useful information which would run the risk of deletion
