Important Old 'dead' threads

[DanCohen17]

People of RefChat

It's been noticed that in the past couple of days, threads are being dug up from beyond the grave.

As per the forum rules, please do not do this. Threads 'die' and cease to become active threads for a reason, often because the answer to the OP has been found, or there is no further conversational benefit.

This is a public warning for all. Anyone who opens dead threads WILL receive a warning for it.

If you are unsure what a dead thread is, I'll give a couple of quick hints.

Is it on page 1 of that forum?
Was the last post within the last month or so?

If either of those are a 'no', it's a dead thread!

Any queries, questions or comments, please PM me


EDIT - here is the quote from the rules in relation to this subject;

11. "Thread from the Dead"
Replying to a long-dead thread is not useful or helpful. Such threads will be locked and Warning Points may be incurred. If you wish to ask for help with something, please start a new thread rather than bumping an old one with your question. As a rule, please check the last post date before you post. If it's more than a few months old, you probably shouldn't bump it.
