Continuing the discussion from [Global setting to auto-close topics?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/global-setting-to-auto-close-topics/13482/16)

This is related to the setting `warn_reviving_old_topic_age`

Problem is, first time poster are often in too rush to post their problem, they just search old threads and bump up old ones.

Idea is to disallow first time poster or users with trust-level-0 to bump-up old topics.

Setting `warn_reviving_old_topic_age` could be moved to trust-level settings groups. Each trust level will have independent value for `warn_reviving_old_topic_age` .
