Lately I've notice some necroposting. Quite a lot of people are here necroposting. Necroposting exists in a old, dustbin topic, as seen this page in the wiki.

I am here to point out, don't necropost!

Don't necropost, it's not good!
It doesn't help, and you should always create a new topic.

But wait! What is necroposting?
Necroposting is bringing in a old topic amd not adding anything to the discussion. You can click the link above if you have a bug or glitch.

So, I hope this will help scratchers stop necroposting!

Any examples?
Let's say this:

Try downloading the project, and then load it.

It may get reported!

In other words, if you have something to add to the discussion, necroposting may be fine. This usually applies mainly in the Suggestions forum, but if you something important to add to the discussion on another forum, it may be alright.

Reporting to be stickied!

Yeah, I see a lot of necroposting these days.
Why is the mobile keyboard glitching?

I'll report to give this some sticky stuff. Maybe give an example of a necropost?

Yeah, I gave a example.

Cam a ST member please sticky this?

Please don't make random guides. I've had to remind multiple users on this.

Not meant to be offensive
1. This is bugs and glitches…..
2. You can't just make topics and expect it to be stickied.
I've seen you try to get stickied multiple times. I think we've got enough…. stickies for every sub-forum.

There are so much necroposts these days…

1. Necros in BaG is like Suggestions. Don't count unless they are unconstructive.

2. This isn't needed. And, most of the necros in Bugs and Glitches are constructive, which means they don't count.

3. Necroposting is not “posting on an old dustbin topic”, instead, it is posting on an old topic that has already been resolved/already “dead”, hence the name “necroposting”.

4. Telling someone they necroposted on the topic is discouraged. Instead, you should just report the necropost and/or tell the necroposter to not necropost and give an brief explanation on why not to and what is necroposting.

5. Don't make random guides that aren't needed and are just made to get stickied.

1. Haven't you noticed a lot of necroposting?

2. A lot of them are unconstructive, so why haven't you noticed it?

3. Sometimes topics are not resolved, and is unanswered with people necroposting.

4. This is to tell people not to, as people may waste their time telling what is necroposting, and is better to teach them in a guide.

5. This is not a random guide, won't you Scratchers listen? Also, this is needed to stop necroposting, so if you say this isn't needed, then that means you want necroposting.

Yes it is.
We don't need any more guides.
Even if it's not random, we still don't need them
