I'm trying to figure out how to do it myself and would share that if I get it working right. I like the "delete stories older than..." option to free up DB space. However, I've been looking for a way to be able to exempt a story from deletion if there are comments made to it or if I have it flagged (not the module) in some way. The method I'm trying to use is if a certain vocabulary ("SavedNews") has been set for the story or not.

You would have to add a checkbox to the feed item node form that says: "Never delete", save the status in the leech_news_item table and enter a check for that flag at the point where obsolete feed items get deleted.

Of course it would be elegant, if the checkbox only showed up on the node form if the feed is actually set to autodelete after a while.

Did I help you with my follow up?
