They have caused confusion in a couple of cases where browsing the historic posts has given a misleading impression of what the post notice meant. For example:
Discourse claims that someone didn't not post for 6 years but posted in September 2021
"Last post" message apparently wrong
Notice about user not seen for a long time above post they just wrote
I think the older post notices can be hidden from individual sites using a little CSS:
However, I think after a certain window of time these notices become relatively meaningless and serve only as extra noise, which I think applies to all sites. It would be useful if these notices could tidy themselves up after their usefulness had passed.
