Necro Posting

[Psycho29388]

It should be increased from 15 days to 30 days, cause some of these topics in subforums haven't been posted in awhile yet there like 3rd on the list, then users get points added on until you eventually get banned.

How else does one increase their post count if this happens?

You still receive that, I'd say that it is warning enough.

I honestly don't remember getting that warning when I did so.

Besides, the warning doesn't say you'll get bad rep added if you do so.

It's forum rule #2 to not necropost. Maybe you should read them to be clear on what not to do.

It's forum rule #2 to not necropost.

Did you know rule 14 is Do not postwhore, eg. post random or useless posts? - 10% warning added - Smt

It's not that difficult to read a few rules and a clear red warning when you try to post in a 15+ day old thread.

And if you fail to read warnings like that, (Which you pretty much confirmed with this previous post.) then that is really your own fault.

It wasn't a useless post, I could have just said, "didn't know that". or something similar.
But no, I used a picture instead and get -10% added.
In all my time spent on the internet I have never been to a forum that adds bad rep for that.

You had posted with no words or content, and instead one single image, I assume you've read the rules due to making this thread in the first place and so you should know that useless posts are against the rules.

I agree with Psycho, increase the limit from 15 to 30 days.

Does the picture say "the more you know"? yes
Are those words? yes

The picture was relevant to discussion, end of story.

And haven't read the rules yet either because I already know basic forum rules which i never break, guess this isn't a normal forum though. Maybe I'll read the rules a bit later.

Well then by your logic it still falls under postwhoring, there is no real content or thought behind ANY one word image, and it's not allowed.

20. Do not post image macros/reaction pictures in any section except for spam.

Now. Before you make any more posts, read the rules thread. Otherwise, you will continue to receive warnings till you are ultimately forum banned. Understood?

I hadn't even thought of that rule, you actually broke three rules in one post and believed you broke none, that's pretty special. I do advise people to read the rules before making a thread stating the rules are bad.

They are bad and you guys should feel bad.

I've been on plenty of other forums and the rules on them aren't even close to being this bad.

and yes I did read the rules about 1-2 hours ago.

Well we're not other forums, so that's probably why we're not using other forums' rules I guess.
