Currently TF's definition of Necroposting is posting in the thread that reviving a thread that is 3 months and older. I make a mistake by "necroposting" a thread that was still on the first pages of the Ninendo / Wii subforum as not many people post there.
If you go on to the first page of the Ninendo / Wii, at the bottom of the first page, there is a thread that is about 8 months old.
Anyways, I managed to clear this up with TF and go my warning removed as what happened was a honest mistake. If I really wanted to necropost some thing, i would of gone to the very last page and bumped that thread instread.
Trottor gotten back to me with the suggestion of maybe locking thread that are older than 3 months. This would work great on the more populuare subforums like OT and the Computer Hardware Zone subforums.
However this locking of 3 month old thread is some of the slower subforums like
- Nintendo Wii
- Web Site Hosting / ISP Q & A
- Search Engines & Internet Traffic
- PlayStation 1/2/3/PSP
- Useful Links
- News & Polls
will leave those subforums barren of any active thread. And that would just make TF look uninviting to new users.
I would like to propose that TF rethinks there current definition when it comes down to Necroposting exspecially when it comes down to some of the slower sub-forums.
