That's just it though, following the trails of debates that are, as far as everyone else is concerned, long expired is superfluous; especially when many of these obsolete debates consist of past debaters who have since moved on from the site so are unlikely to even respond. There are active debates that, although not entirely fresh, are current enough that a number people are still engaging with them as opposed to one individual. It is spoiling it for those who may not fancy looking at the latest debates but may think one on the 'Active' category of greater interest in precluding them from finding those ones (that really are active).

The bot resurrects several debates on the same topic. It does not really care about the content. It seems to be merely descending chronologically. I am not sure how you think a human can bring anything to an active debate when the chat bot will just push that debate out of the active list. Side: Hurt
