Following on from this answer, I've created an unanswerable tag which can be added to unanswerable questions (e.g. this sort of thing which is nice to keep around, but not answerable). If people don't want to see these questions then they can add them to their ignored tags. I haven't found any obvious candidates for an archive tag for obsolete questions (e.g. about bugs in superceded versions of EnergyPlus/OpenStudio/SketchUp) but I'd suggest the same approach. Perhaps it could be usefully applied to questions where the user has stopped responding to requests for further information such as this one, or perhaps unanswerable is appropriate there too.

This makes not seeing these questions an opt-in decision and so it will not affect general users. It will however help users who like to trawl through older questions for any which may have been missed.
