Only Admin board can change the post edit time limit to more then 1 month.
Source: Discourse board.

All toppics that don’t have a reply for 1 month are automatically closed.
So my guess that is the same for post older than a month

limit to more then 1 month.

I thought it was 2 months

@Gryphonknight

You could make it a Wiki, but then anyone could edit it.

I cannot think of a reason not to just keep adding updates in the replies once the top post is locked.

Edit: Nope, just a time limit. Default is 2 months.

instead of the default of two months ( linky, linky)

it was 2 months

I’m sorry, my mistake, I mean admin changed from default to other set, in this case they change to 1 month limit.
And only admin board can change that rules.

We can then only request to admin board for changing back to 2 month time limit or so if possible.

Closing a topic is different than making a reply/ original post unable to edit.

Bug topics automatically close after 1 month of no reply.

Archive versus Close

if moderators want to stop all the editing they have the option of “archiving” a topic

(https://meta.discourse.org/t/users-can-edit-posts-on-closed-topics/39381/2)

Great cosmic power, itty bitty living space

• Admins, Moderators and Trust Level 4 (TL4) users are not impacted by all these limitations and continue to be able to post in and edit posts in both archived and closed topics. ( linky, linky)

Bad topic, No biscuit

Close: discussion is too contentious, not going in a productive direction, endless.

Delete: discussion is harmful / hurtful, went in a flat out wrong direction, needs to be restarted from square zero

Unlist: Possible security implications, or not of general interest to the wider audience at all , highly specific to one person

Make PM: same as unlist, but “safer” since nobody can visit the URL any more. If you will need personal or intimate details to go further, probably a wise choice vs Unlist.

I’d also add that close is frequently used when discussion is done - i.e. a question that has a conclusive answer, a support request that has been solved/resolved, etc.
