ITopic - What is Necroposting and when should it be reported? [Guide]

It might be worth saying that it's the last post that adds to the discussion that determines the topic's “age”, because other necroposts don't really make a topic/discussion more “active” or “relevant”.

Ah - that's a good point! I guess it is possible for users to just check the date of the first post rather than the last one that added to the discussion, so this will definitely need to be addressed. Thanks for pointing that out!

EDIT: Added it below Harakou's explanation. Please let me know if there's anything else that would be worth adding.

I thought this was an old abandoned topic but it's not! I actually got a post reported for a post in a forum from 3 years ago ;-;

Now I know what Necroposting means and that u get mass reported if u do it. And my necropost caused a lot of others to post there, too. OOPS

This message will self-destruct now.

Honestly - I felt as though they could have responded differently. I guess there's quite a bit about the forum culture that could use some improvements, including how others handle necroposting.

Don't worry about what happened. Everyone makes mistakes from time to time - but what matters is the recovery. I'm glad that you now understand what necroposting is. It's all a learning experience - and you're not the only one that has done it before.
