To avoid thread necromancy...

...I am posting my thoughts on a new thread.
The thread: Effective Druidzills (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=74743).
The comment:


Word of balance works an most of the major outsiders.
Anything involving the words "Druid" and "Balence" seems like an oxymoron.

[AstralFire]

...Um. Great for you? :smallconfused:

[GreatWyrmGold]

Just wanted to say it without thread necromancy. I've had a couple raised threads; I didn't want to do it again.

[Pharaoh's Fist]

What's the point?

[Hyooz]

Did you really think that expressing this commonly held opinion in a semi-snarky way months after the fact was worth a new thread?

Zero-content posts, the way to ... what? Go figure.

To stay on topic (?!), I do agree with what the man said. :smalltongue:

This is thread necromancy, in a way. You have resurrected a dead thread, and as time and time again is proved (god, the ungrammar), resurrections of dead threads (in whatever form) are nearly never useful.

Hence the necromancy ban.

[TheCountAlucard]

Agreed; it doesn't seem that you've done the forum a favor by creating a new thread just to deliver a nonhelpful, sarcastic comment about a post from a dead thread.

Just wanted to say it
Sometimes, this urge is best resisted.

I mean that seriously. If what you have to say isn't particularly likely to be useful or entertaining to anyone else, it's best to just think it silently to yourself and then move on. This can significantly cut back on clutter. It can keep you from being drawn into conversations that are not, in retrospect, good uses of your time.

I hardly do an exemplary job of following this guideline, but I do think that it's a good one to try to keep in mind. (Do as I say, not as I do!)

How about "Druid" and "Balance" then?

I think this is worse. ^^

what about the sentence 'the druid is not balanced.'

In addition to being a poor use of a thread, this comment's not even true. Druids are the epitome of balance - hence why they have to be neutral on either the ethical or moral alignment axis.

So you're not allowed to post more than one thread per topic.... AND you're not allowed to post in a thread pertinent to your topic if it's dead?

I wonder why there's any activity left.

Indeed, although this particular one was useless not all comments on dead threads are. And stop picking on the guy, he tries to avoid braking the rules and you guys gang up on him? How is that fair?

[DragoonWraith]

Because he tried to get around the rule, knowing full well that he was still doing something that he shouldn't.

Sheriff of Moddingham: The OP's process (post your comment with a link to the old thread) is the preferred method of continuing a discussion from a now too old thread.

However, the content (a single snarky comment that purposefully misunderstands the underlying thread's content) doesn't really justify a whole new thread. What are new posters supposed to do with this attempt at witty observation? Clearly, no one knows, which has led to great puzzlement and vigilante modding (which is against the Forum Rules by the way). Thread locked.
