Google Groups got things wrong, long ago, by automatically locking content. Particularly stupid, in that Google not only
locked content, it then flagged things as duplicates (i.e. troublesome) when duplication of a topic was essential because the original topic was artificially locked. Like, Google caused trouble then punished authors for working around the trouble caused by Google.

Reddit got things wrong by automatically preventing votes and additional comments after six months.
Fixed!
… additional engagement also caused only a 0.3% increase in mod actions taken. We were excited to see that the increase in comments and votes did not correlate to a significant increase in mod actions taken. …
This, for example, is why I'm frustrated by knee-jerk "necropost" reactions in response to
very carefully chosen use of old topics. Old does not necessarily equal outdated, or worthless.
