I have an opinion on archiving bots

This is not necessarily a request for a change, but after getting lost trying to find some things, I have an opinion about archiving bots: They should never ever leave less than the most recent 20 sections. Too many people set automatic archiving to 15 days and 1 section minimum on fast paced articles, and as soon as they slow down it leaves their talk pages essentially useless for anyone who hasn't watchlisted the article or isn't checking their watchlist fast enough. There is never any real reason to have fewer than the most recent 20 talk page sections, so I think that should be the hard minimum, enforced by the bot code itself. Is that a radical opinion? I don't know, but I am sharing it with you to do with as you wish. EllenCT (talk) 20:44, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
