Delete all closed topics (except for stickied)

Clearing up closed topics can reduce bumps from scratchers. It is ideal for me!

Edit: YOU ALL DO NOT GET IT, IF THE TOPICS GET CLOSED THERE ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE CASES OF REDUCED BUMPS FROM OPEN TOPICS RIGHT NOW!

There are many closed topics that provide sources for things. If those were dustbinned, not many sources for things said on the forums would be around to back up claims.

Then the sources should be on a separate stickied topic to know those sources.

I don't think you understand. In many places (like TOLORS), to give a source for something, there is a link to what is most likely a closed suggestion. If we dustbin the topics, there won't be any viable sources left to say that something is true.
Also, it would be very time consuming to collect all posts that can be used as a source in a topic(There are about 8 million posts.)

How can you bump closed topics?
Also, no support. The closed topics may provide important information.

No, as any topic on the dustbin forum is inaccesible

I wonder if this topic gets closed and rejected…

Closed topics cannot be posted on, so bumping them is impossible. And as has already been said in this thread, there's an awful lot of useful information that would be lost if closed topics were mindlessly deleted.

Worst answer I ever seen… closed topic gives a lot of informations, and may allow to get the information you’re searching for instantly and without creating an other topic asking for the 70 time the same question. No support

Um, no.

Closed topics have given me good sources for more posts that I can count (and I have a little over 5,000 posts, total).

Besides, what about Announcements, which is literally all closed topics? What about the rules updates, Wiki Wednesdays, and 2.0 update release notes?

And they just get moved to the Dustbin anyways- very few posts have been permanently deleted- so this just serves to deprive people of sources of information, not free up storage space.

Closed topics also can't be bumped by anyone but the ST themselves (because they're the only ones who can post), so I don't see why that is an issue

60% of topics that are closed are still referred to to this date.
Plus, you cant bump closed topics.
Plus, listen to people.
You spam random numbers and letters (against the rules)
You make more then 3 topics a day (or even 4 hours) which people tell you not to.
Please read the TOLORS before making a post.
Thank you.

We will not delete topics simply because they are closed. Often, closed topics contain valuable answers from Scratchers other than the topic creator.
