How seriously is Necro Posting taken on these forums?
incase you guys don't know Necro Posting means that someone posts in a VERY old/dead topic.
On another forum that I'm a member of they taking Necro'ing VERY SERIOUSLY! I just want to see how much of a problem it is on these forums. (I'm sorry if this is the wrong category to post this in.) |

Re: How seriously is Necro Posting taken on these forums?
I've never EVER heard someone use the term necro posting, and it sounds dumb as hell imo.
Unless it's a relevant bump, don't do it. No one is gonna like you for it. Edit: Necro posting? REALLY? who came up with that term?

It doesn't happen often. But when it does, the thread is then locked.
edit: Above is what happens to a dead topic that hasn't gotten posts in a long time. |

It's not taken seriously because no one cares. Thread gets locked and that's that. Happens maybe once every couple weeks. It's usually an accident by a new member.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone bumped this when it gets on page 3 or 4.

Re: How seriously is Necro Posting taken on these forums?
I bumped a 6.5 year old thread and got a day ban for it. There's really no good reason to bump something really old unless you're just trying to be a cock.

I thought this thread was about necrophiliacs getting together and hosting a Necro Anonymous support group.
/sigh. Oh well..

I've made the reference and the link at least a half dozen times on this very forum. Bumping a thread with something very useful or legitimate to add to it isn't a problem here. That generally means that you're only going to be doing so, if you're bumping a thread in the suggestions/bug report forum, in the Critical Thinking forum, or a thread dedicated to a show/song/game in the media or video game forum that was a substantially large thread. If you're bumping anything else, or anything that is more than a year old, chances are very good that you're not adding enough to it to have needed to bump it. |

Absurd

Re: How seriously is Necro Posting taken on these forums?
what dev said. depending on the thread, and if youre contributing to it like a sticky that nobody has posted in for a few months is fine. but to find a random old thread and to bump it with a post that is irrelevant is something we strongly dislike
