In case you believe so, no one is bashing you for not being active enough to have more than 3 stars. It's just all the necromancers are 3 stars or minus which makes it seem like someone has a lil trolling gig going on here with people that don't care if they get moderated or even banned is all.
How is thread necromancy trolling? And why does it matter? So what an old thread pops up and you might post on it before you realize it is ancient. The mods will close it and no big deal.
I mean what is the payout? "Trololololol, I made someone post on a year old thread that isn't relevent or accurate anymore! Trolololol, I R mAsterTRoll!

Regardless, this problem is going to continue if something is not done. Therefore, I propose all threads auto-lock after a certain amount of time has passed without a new comment.
If the threads were mine, it's OK. Otherwise, why bother?
Exactly! Why bother indeed...
Once again. How is it an issue? The thread pops up, it gets closed and falls back to the depths of the forum. Who exactly is upset by this? Sure auto lock after six months if you want but this is seriously a non-issue.
I too still fail to see how it is a large issue. It's not like you are forced to even open the thread once it gets necro'd, so what does it matter. Pro tip: open a different, more recent thread if seeing new posts on an old thread bothers you.
You know, not every issue has to be "large". And small issues aren't irrelevant either. An issue is an issue, and this is an issue.
It can also lead to some weird threads. Someone necroed a Werewolf thread the other day with information that was accurate at the time (about the permanent stam regen), and the people who followed were going off on earlier posters for not knowing that you needed to have the ultimate slotted to get the stam regen... when that wasn't how the mechanics worked when the post was written.
Which is exactly why the recent string of necroing is an issue!
When that happens, all you gotta do is one (or both) of two things.
1. Tell them why their necro post was invalid.
2. Ignore them.
Not every single little issue that pops up needs some kind of fix, just correct them/ignore them and move on. Yeah it may be annoying, but so is most of daytime television, but I don't start a petition to shut it down, I just don't watch.
To be fair, ignoring it usually results in the necroed information getting presented as current elsewhere. And then you've got confused players claiming the game currently functions under the rules from 1.5 or whenever.0 -

Even then, if it doesn't directly me then I couldn't care less, if other people want to be stupid and necro old threads with misinformation then fine.

If you really wanted to measure how well received you are be the fellow forum goers, you could check out your approval rating by adding up all of your reactions and dividing the total by the amount of posts.

Is someone out to troll or is this their way of saying "GIVE US NECROMANCY IN ESO!!"?
Regardless, this problem is going to continue if something is not done. Therefore, I propose all threads auto-lock after a certain amount of time has passed without a new comment.
If the threads were mine, it's OK. Otherwise, why bother?
Exactly! Why bother indeed...
Once again. How is it an issue? The thread pops up, it gets closed and falls back to the depths of the forum. Who exactly is upset by this? Sure auto lock after six months if you want but this is seriously a non-issue.
I too still fail to see how it is a large issue. It's not like you are forced to even open the thread once it gets necro'd, so what does it matter. Pro tip: open a different, more recent thread if seeing new posts on an old thread bothers you.
You know, not every issue has to be "large". And small issues aren't irrelevant either. An issue is an issue, and this is an issue.
It can also lead to some weird threads. Someone necroed a Werewolf thread the other day with information that was accurate at the time (about the permanent stam regen), and the people who followed were going off on earlier posters for not knowing that you needed to have the ultimate slotted to get the stam regen... when that wasn't how the mechanics worked when the post was written.
Which is exactly why the recent string of necroing is an issue!
When that happens, all you gotta do is one (or both) of two things.
1. Tell them why their necro post was invalid.
2. Ignore them.
Not every single little issue that pops up needs some kind of fix, just correct them/ignore them and move on. Yeah it may be annoying, but so is most of daytime television, but I don't start a petition to shut it down, I just don't watch.
1. WAY past that point. It's at the point where I just report them and mods come and lock the thread. My idea to auto-lock threads after a certain time period cuts that middle-man action out and saves both me AND the mods the trouble.

Search for your issue, find said thread, and post a question and receive a barrage of complaints that you necroed an old thread.
Make up your effin mind.
It's pretty much do a search and make sure the results are not ancient.
nah... you're still jealous 'cos you can't find a reaaaaaaallllly old thread that is worth necroing.
...Not even worth a facepalm.
ahhh come on you have nothing better to do....0 -

Hmm, seems implausible.
Your case is honestly hard to properly gauge because you have a Developer comment in your stats and I have no clue if that's worth any points lol
That aside, you have over 12.5k points, are under 10k posts, and have 1.4k Insightfuls, 7.5k Agrees, and 3.1k Awesomes.
I have a bit over 6k points, have about 7.5k comments, under 600 Insightfuls, 3.8k Agrees, and 1.2k Awesomes.

The point of this thread was to mention to Zenimax we have a necro infestation and I proposed a way to fix it, that's all. Everything beyond that is discussion on the matter. Sure, not everyone cares and some may even condone it themselves, but this thread is not a waste because it served its purpose. Either way, not making this thread would guarantee nothing changes, and if nothing does indeed change then at least I tried.Guildmaster of Power With Numbers in PS4 NA Server's Aldmeri Dominion.
