My personal view on this: Necro-posting is basically bumping old threads, which in this case are older than 1 month. If you see, making a new thread instead of posting in an old one is a good option, can also be said as "being up-to-date", because of-course, older threads are from the past, and stuff keeps updating. Another thing is that it can also be considered as spam. If the thread is fresh, there is a higher chance of the OP and people involved with the thread being more active with it.

So basically, bumping outdated topics, which are mostly dead.

I probably made no sense, but yeah. Unless it's very important or an on-going happening, it's a good idea to make a new thread rather than reviving an old one.

I know what you feel, I totally understand, and I/others agree with you too, but there is a genuine reason this rule exists, and we shall follow it.

 

Hey, if anyone else is reading this, and thinks that I am wrong, please don't hesitate to correct me, I would be very happy to learn, thanks.

Honestly I was starting to write the same things that you just said @CoolProgrammer damn but yes I 100% agree with both of you, in the fact of it being frustrating but also making sense and having that rule exist since it makes sense.

It just seems stupid locking all old threads because of "Necroposting"
