> [@kaylasdad99](#): > > Okay, can we PLEASE have a rule that people whose first post on the Dope resurrects a zombie have to explain what they were doing that led them to the thread? I think half the fun of a newly risen zombie thread is the puzzled reaction of all of us to the resurrection. 😃 The other half is the pure pleasure of seeing some golden nuggets of humor all over again. ---

> [@kaylasdad99](#): > > Because I know nothing of writing software, I’m going to assert that it would be easy to write an algorithm, that would: 1) recognize a poster’s first post; B) calculate an arbitrary cutoff for date of last post that would identify a zombie resurrection; and iii) hold the post for moderator review, to be released when a moderator is satisfied that the requirement has been met. > > Also, they could write the requirement into the Terms of Use, so it’s enforceable. EVERYBODY reads those, right? 😛 Well,\* now\* this thread is getting silly. (That said, I have no idea what HMS Irruncible’s post is talking about. Long Japanese colons?) ---
