Necro-bumping will be treated as a form of spamming. Posts made 30 days after the last post in any non-official/mod approved thread will be treated as an act of spamming. If you still feel the need to discuss a topic that is past the 30 day mark due to whatever reason, create a new thread about what you want to discuss (you can always include the link to the original thread if you want to have a reference to the original topic).
But what in the case of predictions or such? There are some cases where necrobumping are ok right?
If two threads on a topic are created around the same time, the one with the clearest title and most constructive content will remain open, the other will be locked. Even if the latter was created first.
Sweet!
You cannot create threads, posts, signatures, etc. just to bait people of a specific fan group. Bait threads will be locked and you will be moderated for them. If you spend a lot of time making hit-and-run negative threads or posts about a specific platform, you will also be moderated at the discretion of the moderators
Also sweet.
Website criticism. Do not attack the website. Reasonable debate based on facts is acceptable, but repeated attacks and negative comments about the website and its staff will not be tolerated. People are here to discuss games and sales, and doing nothing but attacking the site is disruptive to those who are trying to participate in a discussion.
Can we also stop under/overtracked unless backed up with a (valid) argument?
Similarly, avoid discussing the user who created the thread in a negative, insulting, or accusational fashion, rather than discussing the thread topic itself. If you feel a topic is baiting, trolling or rule-breaking, report it.
I look forward to this being enforced and apologise in advance to mods for all the work :P
