The past couple of days has seen a series of old threads being bumped. Even today a thread from 2006 (that's right, a decade old thread) was randomly necrobumped. Necrobumping when approved by a mod or if it is an official thread is fine -but posting a throw-away comment in a long dead thread will cause you to recieve a moderation.
Here is what the forum rules says about Necrobumping threads;
- "Necro-Bumping (Namely posting in a non-Official/Moderator approved thread 30 days after the most recent post) will be treated as a form of spamming if the post in question has no valid reason for being posted, or treated as a form of flaming/trolling if the post in question is malicious in its intent. It will be up the moderator to rule on whether a necro-bumping post is pertinent or not."
