The official stance was quoted in that post you referenced already, Frostburn.

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.

That is one of the main reasons why we dissuade necro posts, because information changes, discussions end and it is often better to start a new discussion than resurrect an old one.

I feel it important also to note that someone informing you of the forum guidelines is an acceptable response to your post.

You technically, were the one to violate policy when you then attacked the other poster for their post. In the future, if you have an issue with someone’s post, report it or ignore them. Calling them names and telling them to delete their post isn’t advisable.

Please stop creating new threads to continue this discussion.
