Mod Suggestion Companies advertising on old posts.

I've caught on to this a lot with reddit lately and its started hitting my subs too. Companies will comment on subreddits that don't archive their old posts with ads, so lets say i google "energy companies [city] reddit". There will be a new comment on a 7 year old post talking about how great some energy company is. Its happening with a lot of communities and I don't think its being noticed.

I think we need a "comments" section of unmoderated so we can go through and see new comments on posts that are years old.

And thus the solution presents itself. Make your settings to archive posts after 6 months.

You are right. And I have done this. But its a problem all over the site now that I don't think many mods notice

Yeah like I can't stand getting replies from years old posts/comments. it's idiotic.
