    It wasn't and you missed the point of mine. Your first sentence essentially states that the OP was warranted simply because of all of the pointless posts that are on the forum.

    To go back to your other comment, it is totally acceptable to add feedback into an older thread (and SE mods typically ask that we do so) to avoid fragmentation and thousands of posts about a subject/topic when it can all be in 1. Having it on the "front page" is irrelevant because this is a forum, not reddit. It doesn't guarantee that anyone will see it quite honestly, as literally every single comment and post is on the "front page" once the commenter/OP hits "post" or "post quick reply".

    That is incorrect.
    The post was to illustrate that if you disagree with a discussion topic, you should just not take part in the discussion. That is what I did with the 20 or so posts that I did not find to be worthy of discussion. If other people want to discuss it, all the power to them. Who am I to stop them? The same applies here, we want to discuss this item. Just because that one guy deems it unworthy, doesn't mean it actually is unworthy of discussion. If he has actual counter points to discuss, go ahead. He wasn't doing that.

    I have never said anything regards to "front page", that was someone else. That said, necroing threads has rarely been successful here. A few responses of "why necro this" show up, and then everyone ignores it. However, creating a new thread on the same topic has been shown to be very successful.

    While I agree fragmentation is something we want to avoid, i feel there is an acceptable level of fragmentation. If a new topic is made on something discussed previously, but not recently, I do not see that as an issue. It becomes an issue when we have 3-5 posts on the front page on the same topic (something that is far more common than it should be).

    Taking my comment out of context and throwing it back at me. Nice one. I stated that because he was talking about knowing how other people are 'slacking'. It's that mentality that suggests toxicity. While he may very well be not a toxic player (and that is why I said he sounds like one, rather than he is one), it gives off that impression. I haven't posted anything in here that implies I am toxic to players in game, at least I don't think I have. If you feel I have, please point it out. Otherwise, I am fairly certain I've been fairly level headed and kept on point on discussion.
