The term "Necro" or better expressed as "thread necromancy", refers to the bumping of old threads (ranging from a few weeks to a few years) to the top of a particular forum (and thus reactivating the thread). This behaviour can lead to frustration and confusion amongst forum users, as information which is no longer relevant is bumped back up, leading to the belief that it is still up-to-date or relevant. It is quite common for players not to notice that they are in fact replying to an old thread. For this reason, threads which are classified as "necro" are generally locked to prevent such confusion from occuring. Thread "necroing" is not permitted. Threads which are still relevant to the discussion at hand are generally not locked. Should you discover a thread where this is not the case and you believe it to still be relevant for further discussion, please contact the moderator team at [email protected] and we will review the situation.
To those disussing moderation on the forums - please, don't do it, you should know better. Email [email protected] if you have any questions.

This has served it's purpose and from the amount of off topic replies I see that there is not futher need for this anymore.
Master Jacques covered it pretty good and the reasoning behind "Don't discuss moderation" is that moderating a players content and/or signature is between him and the moderation team. If you have questions or complaints your are ALWAYS welcome to write to [email protected] and inquire why something was done.
With this said... have a nice day/night/week.

 Originally by: Haradgrim
I realize there is a certain irony in this questions but I've never actually seen it answered:
My are we not allowed to discuss moderation? Would it not be required to preserve people's respect for the board's as a neutral source of information? Would that not be considered a worth-while pursuit given certain perceptions?
P.S. Please don't ban me!
Haradgrim,
I didn't say we don't allow discussion of moderation in general, I said we just don't allow it on the forums. If you have a question/concern/comment/suggestion, please email [email protected] and you will receive an answer from us.
Lastly, we don't ban people for no reason. We are required to stick to strict code of forum rules and have a 10 strike warning/ban system which you can read more about here. In addition, only lead forum moderators are permitted to issue bans.
