Hi, everyone!  
One of my admins had a question that I think might be a feature request:

> Something that’s been annoying me since forever, is the fact that discourse doesn’t reset a thread’s activity time after deleting a post. Like right now there’s that 7 year old thread at the top of the forums because some spammer posted something in it, which itself was deleted. So really as far as the public can tell, the last activity was 7 years ago, not a couple of hours ago. So it shouldn’t be visible in the forums list.

What do you all think? If this is indeed a new feature request, do you all run into this as well?

Thanks,  
Kirupa
