Dear All,

Would like to suggest introducing mandatory <Old News> tag in kopitiam, similar to how <WTS> tags is enforced in garage sales.

Hope this can be remedy to forummers who are finding creative ways to incite religious/racial sentiments without breaking forum rules and regulations. Because technically, they are only posting old news.

Case on point:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4963479

If we can close threads that don't include mandatory <Old News> tag:
- Remove this easy loophole/method for trolls to bait racial and religious arguments, without affecting other users who want to discuss old news (freedom of speech)
- Easier for Admin/Mods to close thread (just for not having tag, no need to argue with TS to justify disciplinary action), and to ban repeat offenders
- Easier for forummer to report (again, no need to justify how old news is racist or inciting religious argument)

Hope this makes it to discussion/consideration. Thanks
