The problem is, that notice is shown in a way that makes it quite easy to ignore.
Interestingly, one of the similar threads to this thread actually is similar for once:
Necroposting and other parascriptias
It has another decent suggestion -- that the same newbie locks which prevent editing posts, I believe (I may be wrong as it has been a while since I was on that level
) should lock people from responding to posts flagged as old.
