I think that depends on your community. Do you want others to still be able to post in solved topics? Do you close topics after some time anyway?

I think the default of the `solved topics auto close hours` site setting is 0.

 ![The image displays a setting related to automatically closing solved topics after a specified number of hours once the topic has been marked as solved, with an input field to set the number of hours or disable the auto-closing feature by setting it to 0.

Additionally there is a category setting to close solved topics  
 ![The image displays text explaining that a topic marked as "Solved" will automatically close a certain number of hours after the last reply, with a blank field likely intended to specify the number of hours.
