Hiya gamers,
It seems like some of you still can’t read the forums rules after 420 years of the existence of the forums.
So, because we’re so far away from actually reading what we should and shouldn’t do before creating a reply or topic, I give you the all-exclusive Crafty’s Necropost Seminar, to reform your actions into being a productive member of society and not a nuisance.
FYI: This post is semi satirical with some educational value, don’t get butthurt if I say something not nice, all jokes :p
So, what is Necroposting?
Necroposting is a combination of 2 words, Necro (Or Dead) and Posting, like this topic here or a reply. Munchy defines necroposting as needlessly bumping or replying to a post that has gained 14 days or 2 weeks of inactivity.
How can I tell if a post has 2 or more weeks of inactivity?
Well, thanks to the hosting website, discourse, we have a couple of methods of viewing an inactive post. Firstly, the date will be in the top right corner, so simply go down to the last reply and see if it’s inactive. Note that when a post has a date that resembles something like “January ‘21” it’s referring to January 2021, not January 21st. Secondly, if Discourse detects you replying to an old post, it will warn you before replying… sometimes o.o
And if all else fails above? (How…)
As a general rule of thumb, make sure you don’t scroll down from one of the view all sections, or look at a person’s top topics from their profile, or the “suggested topics” down at the bottom, as all of them are usually old lifeless topics. Basically, just stick to the home page topics, as those ones are usually in date.
