I wish I had an answer, even a bad answer, but I don't

A long time ago some ancient mod decided to make a rule that necrobumping was bad, as bad a porn.. and so it was


I think it was a way to make it easier to punish the occasional members who would stay up late and bump the last two to four pages, making them the first when everyone would wake up.

Just make necro bumping an offense and if there was fifty to one hundred necro bumps one morning.. Forum vacation.

I was not suggesting it. The word "was" is there to indicate the past tense, as in, when "some ancient mod" did it.

Exactly.

The offense of necrobumping is "reviving an old thread without adding any meaningful content." {emphasis mine} If you are adding something to it, or if you have any use for it, even just because you think the information needs to be reviewed, then it's not necrobumping, per the definition.

Bumping random old threads 'just because' used to be a pastime of bored spammers. It's just another way of spamming, which is why it is banned. Bumping for a valid reason is NOT in the same category.


This is nonsensical on many levels.
First off, the whole idea that some angry old guy (duk) is sitting at his Compaq 486 desktop deciding whether or not a comment represents "meaningful content" is hilarious. Each day plenty of new threads can be determined to be totally devoid of any "meaningful content".

Secondly, let's imagine a thread about the first season of Game of Thrones. First aired in April of 2011. People posted in this thread, but it died and drifted to the bottom. Now in 2016, a user searches for threads on GoT, finds this one, and writes simply "GoT is AWESOME!" This comment adds nothing to the discussion, and could be determined to be "meaningless". Although, had that comment been posted one day after the thread was created, it would be just as meaningless, but within the rules. Which is stupid.

You bring up bumping by bored spammers. Why not just have a rule that says "no spamming"? It's like saying "no cruelty to animals", and then a separate rule saying "no touching 3 year old male donkeys with a four foot long stick from an Ash tree greater than .25" in diameter". That rule doesn't specifically saying "beating" or "harming", and there might be a situation where it's perfectly fine, if your just prodding the donkey in the right direction without inflicting pain, yet it's on the books. Common sense man. I can start a couple idiotic threads tonight that are devoid of any intelligence, and be fine, probably won't even get a warning. If I necrobump, a warning will be my best result. That's stupid. If someone posts a throw away comment in 20 active threads, I doubt anyone will notice. If someone posts an on-topic, yet not really useful (again, decided by who?) comment on 20 old threads, they're facing a forum ban? Idiocy.

Moderating should be based on some sort of logic. I'm not blaming any individual here, just interested in the conversation.

Bollocks.

but do you remember when moderation was by the book that we were not allowed to see and that book varied from user to user?!! do you remember when moderation varied from moderator to moderator and they were ALWAYS correct? do you remember the nightmare moderators that created on this site? do you remember the self righteous imposing of others religious beliefs upon comments/thoughts expressed and even on non-pornagraphic posted images (they were offensive to certain moderators moral codes). do you remember threads being locked for questioning a mods ruling or members being banned for doing the same? the very lax attitude within the forums now, can be infuriating when you observe the simplest of moderation tasks being ignored or not enforced or absolutely freeing when a thread goes off topic and finds new life.

yes, there are oodles of issues with the new Jr. Mint's, but the overall air and attitude of the moderation within the fora is somewhat refreshing. the "IS CC DECLINING" thread would not have existed for as long as it has back in the old days. hell, they locked down the "GENERAL CONGRATS" thread on 3 separate occasions. i agree that the logic is somewhat lacking around here at times, look at the slack that Symmetry has been granted... however, the goose step moderation of the past is not something i wish to return to... yes, there is a sweet spot to be found in there... and i think every so often, the forums hit that sweet spot and then we all get giddy, turn into 12yr olds and take it too damn far, one way or the other, and we get butt hurt when they step in.

anyway, this is a very interesting conversation. i hope it continues along this line...-Jésus noir

No I definitely agree, and I remember those days well. The simplest thing back then would get you a forum ban. In fact, there were times I felt like McCringleberry after scoring a touchdown. The mods were there, just waiting, watching, and I couldn't help myself... I knew if I made one more post, I'd get a ban; said one more line, I'd be on that escalating scale... Yet just like McCringleberry, I couldn't stop.
