“ Necroing” on the WoW forums

@Honeybowl-moknathal

Who came up with this?

Blizzard made this rule. Because most of the old threads that get necro’d are irrelevant, or old information.

@Orlyia

Just for the record

Necroing threads is bad

@Vrakthris

For clarification, Drsockphdmd, while necroing isn’t inherently against our Code of Conduct, it may fall under the category of “Trolling”, which is.

@Vrakthris

While I understand you believe you had a valid reason to post, the thread was in no way active. Very far from it. So continuing a discussion that is no longer ongoing isn’t very helpful. The majority of people who reply to older threads don’t generally respond to the last post, but start at the top, at the old information.

@Mailborn-thrall

Necroing threads IS allowed…IF YOU PROVIDE INFORMATION RELEVANT TO THE POST.

Necro’ing threads are not allowed, even if you think you have a valid reason to post. See the quotes above.
