We can't like ESO?

I mean wth, there are topics about hating the game, topics that basically say other companies do it better and you lock a topic called Why we love ESO?
And the reason "As lovely as this thread was, after over a year of inactivity, we are sorry to say we cannot permit it to be resurrected."
And here I was composing...
Tamriel is like a vivid dream.
Full of wonders and magic.
A place where you find a team.
And delve into places that defy logic.
No matter what shape you are in.
You can conquer the steepest hills.
There's always someone to save your skin.
And you can even steal to pay your bills.
What's not to love I ask.
When the world is ever there.
There’s always a new great task.
Unless you get mauled by a bear.

✭✭✭Forum rules do not allow necromancy - However, you can start a new thread about it!

✭Rules are rules, but what exactly is wrong with Necromancy? Why not just have the threads expire after a certain period of time of inactivity.0 -
Chew_Magna✭✭✭I never understood necromancy rules on forums. Why start another thread on a topic when one already exists? All it does is create more bytes and clog up search results. Oh, but if you do start a new thread about a certain topic they tell you to use the search feature, WHICH LEADS YOU TO OLD THREADS.
Lol.5 -
josefcifkaeb17_ESO✭✭✭✭People tend to dig up nasty stuff which is often out of context due to the age of the topic, but still, when a good topic surfaces, one should use common sense and let it slide... Also, set topics older than (insert time) to auto lock and problem solved.¨

Every post has a date, so if they can't figure out what's old or not... I dunno.1 -

As a moderator on another Forum, I will answer this from that viewpoint. However, I am not speaking for ZOS as I am not a moderator here.
Old threads typically contain out of date postings base on information at the time of the original creation. This information can change over time and no longer be valid. However if the thread moves up to the front of the line, then people will start to think it is current information.
Another issue is, people tend to only read the first page of a thread, then reply, if they even go that far. So, again, folks will be discussing something that may no longer be current.
Other people will look at only the dates of the thread in question, and not respond to any new postings on the thread, basically because it was brought up from the bottom of the pile.
Threads can be brought up for trolling reasons, as in discussing a bug issue that no longer exists in the game to somehow support their assertion.
In other words, threads age for a reason, and once aged, should be left alone. It is better to create a new topic, even if an old thread is the inspiration for that topic. To that end, sometimes it make sense to link to the old thread. However, that can cause a situation where the linked thread can be replied to, and then we end up with two, or more, threads discussing the same old topic.Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

I've owned forums and also moderated one that was up and running for 15+ years with heavy traffic (a computer/tech forum where things became outdated very fast). Yet we allowed people to use old threads so they could see the progression of the discussions, some well over 10 years old. But, we also had fairly intelligent people who knew how to read date and time stamps. I guess that can't be expected these days.3 -

✭✭✭✭✭I think it's really up to each forum to work out what the rules should be.
I've been on some that allowed threads to be brought back no matter how old they were (mainly music forums where all topics were about things that happened years, or decades, ago and the arguments had somehow outlived the people they were about so it didn't really matter). And others on fast-moving subjects where if a topic was over a week old it was auto-locked and you had to start a new one to make sure the info was current. And everything in between.
I'm not actually sure what the rule is on this forum, I don't think there's a specific cut-off but my rule of thumb is if I read the topic and find some or all of it is out of date or if the last post was more than 3 months ago I don't bump it up.
I think the thing about searching for old topics is meant to refer to situations where there are topics in the top few pages of the forum, ones which wouldn't count as necroed if they were brought back up.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

✭✭All the happy people (majority of the playerbase) are busy living life and playing ESO when they can--or stealing moments to chat about it on the forums like I am (keep checking to see if the devs gave an update in the PS Pro thread). You won't hear from most of them, since they have nothing to say, no grievances to air on the forums.
Miserable people, which we all can be at times, like to spread and validate their negativity.0
