I've noticed lately that people are going back into year old posts and downrepping people? What is up with that? Isn't that just as bad as necro posting?
Opinions? Thoughts?
Note: I am not a victim of this except on an occasion or two. It has just been something that has been occurring on my mind when I see it done to others.
Agreed that it shouldn't be done. "It's a new day"
I don't consider it harmful to the community as a whole, like necro posting is. This just affects one person, posting actually puts a useless thread, and takes up space.
Good point. I was more worried about the impact on how people abuse it. Like I know some that will go into other's post history that they have a grudge on and down rep them.Quote:

Had to.... But anyways, like necro-posting, it won't be stopped, just frowned upon. I agree though, it is a new thing. But the guy who made a guide and just got his reputation increased for his seven-month old thread isn't complaining. Yeah, there will be necro-repping, but that's just a trolls life.

I do a lot of Necro Reaping!!!
Oh wait....
When I saw you posted on this thread, I knew you'd have said something about that :highly_amused:Quote:

Posting on a thread that isn't on the first page to third page of a discussion basically. Just reviving an old thread.Quote:

Don't really see a problem of necro posting if it has relevance. Actually don't care if it has that either. Actually I find it highly amusing how irritated some people get over it.
But this is just me and all IMO :rolleyes:
Most of the time, I agree. When I was new to forums, I used to necro threads not because I didn't look at the date, but because I did look at that date and was amused by the past.Quote:

Apollo = Luminary Poster
Silentarrow = Tournament & Ladder Leader?

I believe Cyto covered Apollo's.
Right now the first three pages of General Discussion is only two days old. No offence intended, but members can post on threads more than two days old. People are CONSTANTLY being jumped for starting duplicate threads on the same topic. Members, especially new members, should be greeted warmly and encouraged to post. If someone is breaking an actual forum rule, unless they repeat offender or it is a very serious offence, then a bit iof patience, empathy and an effort to let the person know what is going on but in a way that is respectful. People should not have to be all stressed out before posting. Two days is way too short. The important thing is it's relavance (as long as an actual forum rule isn't being violated).Quote:

I think people only necro-rep if they have a grudge against someone.
Also, there is Necro Reap. Er.
Don't forget that one^.
Aikiebo, while I don't always agree with your posts, I always look forward to reading them as the always offer a radical yet insightful opinion from the opposing point of view.
