Description
Hi,
If a scoop was posted 6 months ago, and 6 months later it manages to gather enough points to be promoted, then it's no longer news. And it looks pretty discrediting when a site has a 6-months old news item on its front-page.
I remember there used to be a feature (or I could be wrong), whereby admins can specify a specific number of days (or hours) after which the scoop will not be promoted to the front page even if it gathers enough votes pass the threshold. But I can't find where it is located in 5x or in 6x. A little pointer would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
Scoops in the "Archived" section are no longer eligible for promotion. As simple as that.

yeah, I though so too... but recently some of the very old scoops did get through to the front page, and I could think of no reason why that happened.
#3
same here , archived scoops do get promoted...

since someone else is having this issue , I'm changing this to a bug
(but mind you, my live site site where this is happening is a 5x-36 , not a 6x-dev)
@jr50 - is your site on drigg 6x-dev ?
#5
yes 6.x
