> creating a “rolling window” without resetting the entire topic?

Had thought the existing system would do that when it states replies are automatically deleted after 30 days, but that deletes all comments at once even if they are only 1 day old if first comment on topic is 30 days old?

The “rolling window” idea would make sense if possible to delete comments after they had been published for a whole 30 days, not delete everything in entire conversation that had started 30 days ago if that is possible.

Have seen it mentioned idea with that can be for good ideas in comments to be incorporated into original wiki post instead of left as comments.
