Telling posters not to revive old topics
Posted: Jul 02, 2011 3:04 pm
I notice it happening a lot, usually with new members.
My question is, should I post and tell them not to? I feel like it's more the mods' responsibility, but it seems okay for regular members to tell them. I'm fine with that, I just don't want it to look like I'm just trying to raise my post count.
Normally I just let someone else tell them (it tends to be someone who already has over 2000 posts, so it doesn't seem to matter so much if they get extra posts).
I guess I just want to know if there's any specific rule or...protocol in this type of situation.
