Necroposting isn't illegal on LPF?

[woodyloveslinkin]

Just a question which got to my attention to a post Hybrid Soldier posted in "Your Deathwish".

So if you bump up a thread...you get in more trouble than you do creating another thread about the same thing?

I wasn't aware that there was another similar thread. I'll look into it tomorrow, unless one of the other mods get's to it before me. But right now, I'm going to bed.

And, one will only get in trouble from bumping a thread if what they posted is spam, or pointless. Example:

A thread about, 'Your view on life'(Don't know if it's an atual thread or not), lets say 8 months old.

If someone bumped it to say something like, "Life sucks." That is spam, and that is what you would get in trouble for. Whereas, if they had posted, "Well, my view on life isn't happy. Life is full of ups & downs, etc..." And they went into an explanation, then it is fine.

Understand?

YouI wasnt saying you get in trouble for bumping it, but you get more complaints from members than you would otherwise.

And close ht thread anyways, like I care.

i think thread bumping is ok as long as its a good thread, i hate old **** nothing threads being bumped.

I haven't seen anything done about numerous threads about the same bands over and over again in Other Artists, but in other sections this is not tolerated. That's what I've seen here.

I think on topics like "Fave LP song" that come up every once in a while, there should just be one thread stickied, so everyone could reply without there being endless threads about it. However, that is not possible with all those topics out there.

Overall I just don't think it's clear enough, whether one should revive an old thread, or make a new one. From what I've seen, the best possibility seems to be to say nothing of the matter. That way there are no complaints from members. But again, that's not an option, since then there would be no way to talk about certain issues again.

I just want to get it clear, whether it's better to revive a thread, or make a new one.

I hate LPA....

Is that spam?

I think its dumb when forum rules say you can't bring back threads from months ago, yet you can't make a new thread about the same topic that is not allowed to be bumped. Catch my drift? Kind of defeats the purpose of a forum. I don't really know the whole story this time though.

As I said in a thread about what you hate:

I hate it when people on LPF have a go at people about repeating threads. But, then when they post in an old thread, people still have a go at them.

I think if the thread is like over a month old it shouldnt matter if you make a newer thread about it. Like when ATLien locked my hot chick thread and made a new one it hardly lasted. So i just remade a new one and look at it now. Now with the same tone if someone brings back an old thread they shouldnt get intouble if they answer or reply to the thread the appropiate way.

I know occasionally ill bring back an old thread, and then someone will be like omg this thread is sooooo old and get all stupid about it. Seriously it just an update to an old thread shutup and just reply properly dont make smartass remarks like this is old. I mean if it's something like that has already been answered and your answer DEFINATELY wont be a mega hundred times better than the others then dont waste your time.
