probably stop making multiple threads about the same topic

Regardless of whether or not you can ignore it, it's still actually breaking the rules he's not promoting discussion, he's actively suppressing it by forcing threads off front page by spamming 9 threads from 2018.

For the record, I have never said this guy shouldn't be punished.
I've just been anti-anti-necro for the longest time and well, now's the shining example I suppose. I'm not saying trolls shouldn't be punished.
But also there are more than one page, I often peruse multiple pages of new posts before finding something I'd like to comment on. Just because the first page is his (and 9 out of 25 isn't a whole page) doesn't mean you can't find other places to discuss things.

The irony being that ive seen this exact thread topic pop up a few times over the years...

Not making a concession, just noting that the rule leaves interpretation that they've not broken it (on the bump rule). Also bumping in so much that you've brought alive your own post, if you did it with a reason beyond just the bump- is not against the rules. If you simply bump, yes. I suppose if it's with purpose someone might not count it as a bump then, so maybe I guess that doesn't count lol.

Do you have doubts as to their reasons? Is it not obvious what they're doing , over and over, account after account? Is it not obvious to every single forum user? Why is it not obvious to the people whos jobs it is to enforce these rules?

Just to be clear I'm not giving anyone free tickets lol, I just don't really want to see something spoiled because of one specific issue. We've never had this problem, like this at least, until this specific series of incidents.

That I think they might not be breaking the rule on bumping since they add context was just to say what I think is going on behind the scenes. I'm confident if they witch hunt, name call, or other obvious rules we see enforced that something would happen to them.

It was not a free pass, it was a dispassionate reading of the rule and saying I can see how it would take a while to do something. Need to prove malice and pure troll over just someone with a wildly different communication style and desires. I remember long ago someone was labeled a forum troll and having talked to them, in game, firmly believed it was just the forums not liking them and that person just having their own special way going about things. Name started with an R if that's enough to go by lol.

In general I read rules, for people to live by, more forgiving and free than I read rules for fun lol (Not as in strict game rules but like I push and brush against them as I find it fun). Game says I need to go north means I go south. Says I can't do something now I want to find out how to do it, lol. In real life I tend to go for more chaos and freedom, clearly we are eating the chaos daily right now in a buffet.

It would be interesting to have a GM let us know what they think, maybe they are talking about it now, maybe it's all going as intended and they think people are sensitive, who knows, it would be nice to be able to talk to our lords sometimes lol.

LOL He literally took over the forums. He's M.Bison on nerdrage.

[Bearded]

TBH I used to visit and enjoy reading the valid discussions in the General Forum - however now it's just pointless due to this person.

Make ur mind up either multiple or necro... also maybe someone we doesnt know it has been posted before.. and even if they did and they reply with w,e they would have posted youd scream necro.

Thats kinda a double end scenario u know right

It's different. The issue is not, in itself, that an old thread has been brought to the top of the forum because someone wants to continue the conversation. That is not what is happening here.

The problem in the current situation is that it has been done by someone who has no actual intent to actually discuss the old thread - just to pull it up and leave it there to get in the way. And then do it again and again until the forum is full of threads that nobody actually is interested in engaging with.
