Old ideas can pollute discussions. Like in this meta thread.

Proposed solution: edit a discussion to hide top-level ideas. That way, discussion owners can hide ideas they no longer deem relevant.

For example, completed tasks in discussions used as issue trackers, like this Meta thread, could be hidden so they don’t pollute the thread.

There could be a button for users to reveal hidden ideas so nothing is lost or hidden dishonestly. And direct links to hidden ideas would continue to work.

People might just forget to do this.

There could be periodic reminders and a review board to make it easier.

That could just annoy people and cause them to unsubscribe from emails.
