Site Closure and Deletion has been update from SharePoint 2010. Using Site Polices you can apply governance rules.
Reference: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219569.aspx
For testing, I created a Fast Policy and applied to my demo site so we can see the results.
Note the options for Site Closure and Deletion
Notice you get after closing site – Note you can reopen if needed or postpone deletion for 1 month.
On Nov 8, 2013 , the deadliest typhoon ever recorded in history devastated the Philippines. Typhoon Haiyan was stronger than hurricanes Katrina and Sandy combined. Countless lives have been lost and a lot of help is needed. It is estimated at least 10,000 people have perished.
Help Typhoon #Haiyan Victims and We’ll Help You!
Between now and December 31, 2013. Anyone who donates $99 USD or more to a charity of your choice that will benefit victims of Typhoon Haiyan and emails me a proof of your donation, can secure a FREE one hour remote SharePoint consulting session ($99 = 1 hour session, $198 = two 1 hour sessions, etc) with any of these global SharePoint MVPs & leading experts:
Anonymous access should not be turned on without testing first, but if needed due to your project requirements:
First turn on anonymous for the web application zone.
Central Admin > Application Management > Authentication Providers > zone > enable anonymous
Second turn on anonymous for the site collection.
Lock down permissions
Other Issues
“Limited-access user permission lockdown mode” Site Collection Feature that you might need to disable as well.

The * NEW tag appears in lists and libraries for 2 days by default, but due to timing may last three days.
STSADM is an easy way to configure this setting. There are several references to this on the web but just wanted to include the code here and show how easy it is to configure.
First start by running SharePoint Management Shell and run the following
stsadm -o getproperty -pn days-to-show-new-icon -url http://<web_application_Server_Address>
This will display the number of days that the *NEW icon is set to appear.
where pn stands for propertyname
Did you get an error? If so note that if you need to elevate your credentials hold down the SHIFT key and right click the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell Icon.
stsadm -o getproperty -pn days-to-show-new-icon –pv 0 -url http://<web_application_Server_Address>
where pn stands for propertyname and pv stands for propertyvalue
Turn *NEW off for the http://intranet.contoso.com web application.
The change was instant and effects the entire web application.
stsadm -o getproperty -pn days-to-show-new-icon –pv 0 -url http://<web_application_Server_Address>
where pn stands for propertyname and pv stands for propertyvalue
Turn *NEW for 2 days for the http://intranet.contoso.com web application.
Note that if you attempt to set this settings at a subsite level, you still set that settings for the entire site.
