^^^I wasn't aware of the warning (given I don't practice necromancy).
It was a suggestion based on something i saw elsewhere. I was aware of the problem of valid posts.
It's frustrating to scroll down a thread to reveal that 1. it's an old thread, 2. it's a thread you've already read, and 3. the latest post has nothing useful to add eg more info/questions.
Given that it seems to be new users who do this, is it possible to restrict things in such a way that an old thread can be revived only by someone with more than 10 posts, or has a character limit of more than say 10 characters?
Would stop newbsters trying to bump up their posts counts with useless replies and still allows for meaningful replies.
