Due to the constant problem of necroposting, as well as a recent spike in this activity, a new category of infraction is being added to address this.
Any thread that is more than a month old should not be necroposted. If there is pertinent information regarding the subject, start a new post to address it. Dredging up old threads just to post some snide comment or a line of wit is not only bad etiquette, but causes a lot of confusion due the rapid rate of change in today's technology.
While the infraction has been entered into the list, it will not become part of general use until 18 May 2008. It may be used as a warning between now and then.
