It is annoying af to many people that's for sure.

Yet at the same time the one that's doing it still does it, just to have fun with themselves or some other weird reason...

So tell me. At least in OT, necroposting imo kinda feels like it's let off the hook a teeny bit more than the rest of the forums.

If I want to necro I thread, I copy the OP into a new one. Your tiny OT brains showed you can't even tell the difference according to my research.

In order to necropost just follow this step and you be fine:

Determine the content you wanna necro
Organised your thought and type in that box
Now just press that post button to see your result
The post should be on first page now

But leve, level with me. I mean anyone who has the mental capacities to necro can do all that.
I’m searching for even the faintest level of ethical necroposting, if there is any.

If you can somehow bring something new to the thread/get a conversation going in the thread before mods get to it, sure! So, you can't just respond to the OP as though this is a normal post, you could reformulate the OP's original concept maybe, or bring up something that could stand on its own legs as a topic. The point is, if you can start a conversation back up with whatever you post, it should be okay?

Nah, necroposting is an incredibly rude thing to do. Start a new thread or shove your comment into ITT

But if the topic is very relatable then it should be okay? In the VG subforum it says not to make a new thread about a game if there’s one already. That’s why I necro’d the Rayark thread (which is wastelanded, sadly.)
