So the other character on this account was forum-banned for necro-posting. Can someone please outline the age limit for a thread before it is considered necro-posting?
If that date does exist, why are threads past that date not auto-locked?
This thread is not in relation to my personal situation, I am asking a general question, so please don't lock this thread asking me to contact customer-service in respect yo my case. |

That is indeed a good question. On the old forums, threads were just locked after 6 months. Maybe a similar feature should be incorporated on the new forums.

IMHO it depends. Necroing an issue that's still relevant and still unresolved should not be that bad. On the other hand, Necroing a troll should be a serious offense. But is an issue is still relevant and the OP was kinda trolling about it, it gets shady. |

Threads are given 90 days now if I remember right. However, OP wasn't banned for necro'ing a thread for general discussion, he was banned for necro'ing a score of threads with one offs to dupe other players into starting up an old argument that had long since died, i.e. for the lulz. |

I believe the official limit is the point when you get a forum ban for doing it. It can't be a strict limit because people are notorious at finding loop holes and exploiting them. A good warning sign for necroing is, that nobody has posted in the thread for some time and your new post isn't contributing anything of value either. You're basicly making a useless post in an effort to give life to a dead thread. This is an unnatural violation of God's intended natural lifecycle for a forum thread and therefore you need to be banned for your deviant behavior. |

Threads should auto-lock in 30 days. Maybe make an exception for F&I but otherwise if it's 30 days ago who cares?

There is no set time-limit. If a thread is relevant even a year later and you revive it to bring new and interesting discussion, that's okay. Being a d-bag like you were doing, and just reviving random threads with stupid one-liners is not okay. I wish they banned all your chars from the forums. |

What I did was scummy, but look at the anti-social thread. It was obviously still very relevant, people were debating as if it was posted yesterday.
I did it because there was very little substance in the forums recently. All fluff/barbie bullshit and nothing actually relevant to EVE. I proved this with my old vs new portrait thread.

Well, on SA you would get banned (or at the very least a probation) for what you were doing too. It tends to be a feature of well moderated forums that people who are being scum get taken care of by the moderation team. |

My money was on Malkavian, he necro'd a post in the last day or so. Guess I lost that bet. Where's the midget?

Oh, and the spam is a problem tooGǪ

What the hell is the point of a forum ban if you can just hop on an alt and start shiptosting again, is my question.

GǪuntil some tard starts necro-spamming and getting banned for it because what he's doing is braindead and disruptive and breaks forum etiquette (and he knows it, troll that he is).

If it has gone cold, it is necroing. Even it feels good, it is still necroing.
