When trying to get recent, open posts here on Biostarx by filtering to 'Today', there seems to be an awful lot of (auto?)-moderation necromancy pulling threads up to the top:
is there a way to filter out "old threads", or just...be careful?
I don't see any old posts in browser when using : https://www.biostars.org/?limit=today
Are you using RSS feed or something else?
Native website. Try
/t/open/?limit=today
Not sure if there is a way around this. One of the mods is cleaning up old threads so they appear in the list. I will make the biostars dev team aware of this thread and see if they can do something.
Thanks GenoMax. @LChart, the reason I started the cleanup process was because the new website stopped pushing these necro posts back to the front page after I cleaned them up. Are you pulling
/t/open?limit=today
into a feed of some sort?I'm not an automoderator BTW, I just use a lot of automation tools :-D
Nope; I was browsing
/t/open/?limit=today
just to find anything to which I could contribute; and thought something was fishy when I noticed that the post I was replying to was from 2016.
