I knew some of that at a young age as well, though it was for a much different reason. At the time, kids were getting kidnapped/molested/(r-word, apparently it's censored here) quite a bit so my parents taught my brother and I the proper names (since there's so many "kid-friendly" names), in case something ever happened and we had to describe the event to the police.|

However, as far as other kids were concerned I was cursing....

I'd send a PM but for some reason the board doesn't like that feature right now.

There's some interesting information in there, as well as helpful advice. The question comes up a lot, so the "burying this thread" comment comes across as flippant for no real reason. If anything, I'd think it would be stickied rather than locked. |
Mod 12 is a bit eager.
New sheriff in town. Been there. You have to make some early examples.
Dec out.

As I mentioned, I tried to PM you but the forum wouldn't let me. I don't know if that was a temporary glitch on my end or the forum's side, but that's why I asked in the general forum. Also to see if there was an actual policy regarding it.|

Does "locking necro posts" apply to everything or just certain kinds of topics? Because my Alt Alphabet thread is a number of years old yet comments still trickle in every once in a while and I wouldn't care to have it locked.
The Alt Alphabet ~ OPC: Other People's Characters ~ Terrific Screenshots of Cool ~ Superhero Fiction
A good rule of thumb is that after a thread has been inactive for more than 3 months, it is "dead" and revival of such a thread would be necromancy.
So why is necro posting against the rules? Well I don't want to get into it too much, since I'd prefer to avoid writing a primer on trolling, but there are a lot of nasty little trolling techniques that can rely on necro posting.
I've seen a couple of forum add-ons to automatically lock older threads but there are occasions where there is a legitimate reason to post in an older thread rather than creating a new thread with a link to the old thread so we haven't gone down that road.
I know it can be a hassle, but it's better than the alternative of allowing some meaner sorts of forum behavior free reign.
Anyways discussion of moderator activity is always best kept to PM's, so I'll lock this one.

If you are using Latin in your post you are probably trolling
