Okay, just to clarify a few things.
 * 1) The "inactive" is not a standard feature. It is a result of a custom JS script that wikis can use.
 * 2) *There are 3 scripts on the dev wiki that can be used to add it: InactiveUsers, UserTags, and ProfileTags
 * 3) **TortoiseCat5 has mixed up UserTags with ProfileTags. UserTags and InactiveUsers both add the tag automatically while ProfileTags is the one where you need to manually assign tags.
 * 4) *The minimum duration for a period of inactivity can be customized. Each wiki can set its own value like 30 days, 31 days, 97 days, etc. The default is 30 days but you cannot necessarily assume that is what every wiki uses.
 * 5) There is no global policy regarding necroposting. Each wiki was its own policy. Some allow it regardless of the age of the thread and others have short periods like 1 week. Others rely on user discretion to determine if the reply merits the revival of the thread. TortoiseCat5 says 2 weeks, at most 1 month. That has been the general guideline (not hard rule) for this wiki (Community Central). It was only recently that the admins decided to use LockForums in order to make this a "rule". Even then, they decided to expand the period to 2 months. Now, once a Community Central thread has had no activity for 60 days, you will no longer be able to reply. Again, this period depends on the wiki and not all wikis use the script. IF there is serious issue with necroposting on a particular threads, admins (and discussion moderators) can always close the thread. This is a more robust solution that the LockForums script but requires that each thread be closed manually by an admin.
