Re: resurrection vs. new thread

This is definitely interesting because people will pseudo flame you for resurrecting and also at the same time if you don't " Search before your post " your gonna get a hail storm of bad rep points as well. Their shouldn't really be a fine line you just should be careful about what your resurrecting, IE. a 2001 game post that has to do with not liking the field elements.

One of the easiest solution is to search before you post, but if the thread is old but discussing relevant newer technology a safe route ( if your concerned about rep ) is to post a new thread discussing the new technologies but link the old threads in your post.

To be honest people probably need to just calm down the the good rep bad rep thing there are only a few dozen people people that have actually warranted bad rep, and most have repented for their chiefdelphi sins, others went along their merry way. If someone makes a silly forum mistake there is neutral rep for a reason. I believe resurrecting an older thread is one of those silly mistakes.
