Question
What’s the easiest/best way to give feedback on WIP?
For example, some of these questions have been here for 2 years and won’t ever leave, like “want to meet up at SXSW?” And things like that that are 2 years old. How do we suggest a feature request to indicate a question should be removed? Or a feature that removes them automatically if not answered in 30 days?

I usually ping @marc (the guy behind WIP) via the telegram group and other people chip in if they like the idea.
Seen other people posting a question on the site and pinging him there too.
don't think there's a specific way of doing this
Thanks @alexstyl.
Wait, can you interact in Telegram? I thought it was only a Bot to send todo's.
there is a "feedback" button on the bottom right corner of the page
Ah, I see it on desktop, didn't see that on mobile. Thanks Alejandro!
As others already pointed out you can just ping me ( [email protected] ) or using the new DM feature ( wip.co/messages/marc ) or by using the widget on desktop (bottom right corner) or if it's something you think is worth a community discussion by posting it here.
As for your suggestion about hiding old posts: some posts are still useful when they are old, so I wouldn't want to automatically hide all. Allow users to flag them is an option, but I try to avoid adding features that require manual labor (e.g. me reviewing flagged posts).
Maybe the most pragmatic "solution" would be to show timestamps (when the post was created or last replied to) so you can just skip over them manually. Would that solve it for you?
I totally agree with not adding manual labor for you.
Perhaps a "hide" feature? And maybe further, if it gets hidden x times by users you could consider hiding old posts... but even if not, the ability for me to hide them for myself would reduce my own personal cognitive load.
It just kinda sucks to want to help and go to "Unanswered" to help but see stuff that is irrelevant (either by date or by subject matter or both).
I very much agree about not removing questions/posts after 30 days (or ever). If they haven't been answered, someone might be able to later. Even if OP isn't active here anymore, someone else in the community might like that info. If they have, the comments could provide really valuable insights.
You're busy enough without extra busywork anyway.
