Rule for zombie ressurection

[Crazyhorse]

@etv78

We DESPERATELY need a policy for zombies! I just posted in a “ask the dermatologist” thread, only to notice it was 5 years old! :rolleyes: Here is the policy I propose: NO “reanimating” a thread until you have 100 posts. Plenty of time to learn about the Dope and our culture, as it relates to thread atitudes. Also gets rid of spammers/Googlers quicker.

The real crime is the way they hide the dates of all these posts. How is a long time poster like yourself supposed to have any idea how old a thread is unless they have some kind of a date stamp on them?

@Crazyhorse

To be upset about a zombie thread being re-opened is essentially being upset that the poster didn’t check the date of the thread before participating in it. But to have been inconvenienced by allowing yourself to read and participate in a thread and later realize it was a zombie means you were guilty of exactly the same thing.

But don’t worry, there’s a script for that.
