Title: The Guide on NECROPOSTING [i.e. posting in old threads]
Post by: Sophist on March 13, 2008, 09:58:36 PM
IT SEEMS THAT SOME OF YOU HAVE BEEN REVIVING DEAD TOPICS LIKE ZOMBIES

    Please don't do this. You should always check the date before you post. If the date is OLDER THAN 6 WEEKS please do not post in the thread. That is called "Necroposting." It has become a problem since some people have been posting in threads as old as TWO YEARS with useless posts. Please do not go back like 5 pages on a board and just post in all those topics. Staying generally relevant is a good things, seeing as nearly 90% of those people have left. For those who continue to do it, please stop. It isn't good seeing a thread from 2005 being posted in with nothing to say. Yes, some threads could be revived, such as many in the Intellectual Debate section, but this is obviously frowned upon and your actions will be scolded without hesitation.

Please.


Don't post in threads over 6 weeks, especially if they are two years old.


And even more if you have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT ?_?

Necroposting can be good. You could be bumping up a mega-old topic somewhere in the RM section and you could help everyone profit or something.... ;-;

OVER 24 HOURS IT'S A NECRO POST

I almost wanna put a 1-day temp ban on necro posters, see if it has any sort of effect.

I'm necro-double posting this because we've been having a number of zombie threads popping up recently. Seriously people, if there's a warning that says "Warning: this topic has not been posted in for at least 60 days", it's probably not worth posting in that thread unless you have something significant to contribute, like finding a bug in an old script. Otherwise, just make your own bloody topic and be done with it.

Forty won $10...

On a side note, a nice way to avoid necro is to just do as I do and only post in new topics (new unread topics or new replied topics, that is... only way I view the site, haha)

Necroposting ironically because this needs to be seen.

On a message board, posting something irrelevent on a really old topic to bring it to the top of the list topics. name comes from the fact that you are bringing it back from the dead, thus Necro. a practice common among n00blars. :) (http://breastenlargementpittsburgh.com/blog-pittsburgh-pa)
