i can't help but notice that your test group said to allow mods to turn it ON if they wanted it, and what you actually did was force mods to have to turn it OFF if they DON'T want it, while also basically stealthing the implementation of this feature - which at best allows people to bother someone about a 4-year-old recipe and at worst allows people to stalk and harass vulnerable women in abusive situations for YEARS across accounts and subreddits. the only reason i'm even here now is because one of my co-mods happened to pop into /modsupport and happened to notice the "bee tee dubs we're rolling this out tomorrow" thread and told me about it in modmail.
how about instead of letting people trawl through years of archived posts to bother them about some "aged like milk" thread when they're having a hard time, you give us the ability to turn off reports on (and external links to) archived threads? we are regularly bothered by trolls abusing the report button on archived threads because they were searching for keywords to harass people over and reporting was the only way they could superdownvote the OP, or somebody linked an ancient thread in some "check out this crazy bitch from 6 years ago" subreddit. better yet, give subreddits the ability to opt out of being linked to at all.

What's wrong with a 4-year-old recipe?
Archiving old threads is a bigger problem than we've realized[1].
