Then you'll get massive amounts of whining when people get infracted for something that isn't against the rules.Then report it?

aren`t you the guy who posted that somebody passed away out of spite and in a malicious manner? I wouldn`t say a whole lot about the mods...

I agree, and starting a new thread about a similar issue just because the original thread is old does seem daft.Necro threads are pretty rare as it is, and isn't a big deal.
Make MoonBeam our philosopher king. He does zero moderation and has no official power; but everyone agrees to follow his proclamations (such as they are) as far as one feels (s)he can properly interpret them.
Also I would like to be able to tip some sort of official anandtech crypto currency.

Sarcasm I hope.
And yes, this thread is throwing necro threads way out of proportion. They seem to be handled fine in the current manner (that is, many are locked, but as of late the mods are giving them more thought), and they really aren't occurring that often.
Agree, the person is something special in here and should be recognised.
People of goodwill can disagree.This is a terrible idea. I am on these forums almost every day trying to help people. Many others do the same. Why would we want to pay for doing something that, in most other circumstances, we would be the ones getting paid?
You would clear a lot of the rif-raf, but you would also be killing a lot of what makes these forums as good as they are.
+1I really, really like this idea, down to the granular level of leaving P&N and L&R out of what would look like the OT of old that so many of us miss. :thumbsup:
Don't lock necros at all. If you don't like them, don't read them. If people bumps necros just to bump necros, deal with the person.
rofl...you talk as if you have been around for a very long time...when you have no clue...Am I wrong? The "great purge" put the forums where it's at today.

Done.
This request has been approved and is being processed. Due to the holidays, we expect the change will take place within a matter of weeks. Our objective will be the complete elimination of the downtime period, rather than a rescheduling. You may see another downtime or two before we are able to enact this change, but it is approved and in process.
Much appreciate everyone's feedback so far - please keep them coming.
It's possible that this has already been discussed in this thread and I don't know it because I don't know the terminology for forum tech, but what about upgrading the forum to allow people to get replies when they are directly quoted so that there is no need to subscribe to a thread that you replied to?
If you post/reply in a thread, you are automatically subscribed. Are you talking about removing the automatic functionality of that?
