Could I make the suggestion that if infractions are going to be handed out for “thread necroing”, that information on what constitutes “necroing” is made in the Code of Conduct somewhere? I can’t find anything on it. For example:

  • A description of what moderators consider thread necroing
  • An explanation of why it is considered bad
  • A clearly stated time limit (e.g. threads older than 1 month)

Perhaps the forum could automatically lock threads too old, and this issue can be avoided altogether? It seems arbitrary and more than slightly punitive to hand out infractions for something done innocently and in good faith, especially when people can be alternately chastised for starting new threads about topics that already exist.
