An Example:

Do not bump "dead" topics
If a topic has not been posted in for 5 days or more, the topic is finished. Please don't post in it.

~AQW GD rules

So can a dead thread be automatically deleted? Would that work?

 Threads which are inactive long enough do get automatically deleted. The inactivity period before delay is dependent on the specific forum.

But why not just after the 5 days? It's already dead right?

 It depends on the forum and the particular thread. In AQW GD, where many, many new threads might be made in a single day, 5 days without activity is equivalent to a week or more in another forum. In another forum, 5 days is a lapse, but not necessarily enough to even get it to the second page.

Also, old threads can prevent a lot of rehashing that occurs if threads are deleted too often.
