I like that idea. Alternatively, such threads could not be hidden completely, but only be reached via a separate link. That way, the discussion would still exist, but would not consume growing space on the original discussion site anymore. (In addition, it would still serve to bind the people who insist on wasting their time in that corner. On the other hand, that would still be a pity. I assume that some people who wasted their time in that corner would otherwise have engaged in the remaining insightful discussions.)
