Can we take action against Bard Macro Player yet?

I swear this thread gets necro'd more than any other.

It’s just a really niche hill to die on and the peculiarity of the argument draws attention

More to illustrate some have very small minds, very large egos, and take "offense" at something they feel is "reserved for them alone".

Any rock concert anywhere these days uses FAR more sophisticated technology to make that music come to life. Ask yourself how many "celebrities" use auto tune in their performances.

Yes, but we all KNOW what this topic is. We can spot it, and then ignore it. If somebody made a new topic every time, and then this fight took days to cool down, and there was 12 topics about this to necro, that would be worse.

I'd rather one familiar old argument show up, be saluted with a fond nostalgia, and then sink into the depths. The alternative game of whack a troll is just... pain.

I think it's better to necro an old thread on a subject than to make a new one everytime someone wants to grumble about bards playing in town.

This assumes the necro isn’t just some random troll alt with 5ish posts to their name and nothing to add to the conversation. Which is assuming a lot.

IMO, any post that’s been dead for a month should require the person to fill in a reason for necro-ing in the same vein as an edit.

A mandatory “and why are you deciding to necro this?”, in addition to some kind of flag that watches for a pattern of necro-ing multiple threads in a short time.

But that’s also assuming the devs will put any work into moderating this place. This also assumes a lot.

The problem with necros is how often people quote old posts. Where that person may or may not even be playing the game anymore and might have moved on. They may not even hold the same opinion or stance anymore if the necro is of a 2 year or older thread. There have been times I have even seen necros where they quote the person and say, "But it's not like that" because of a change that occurred within the game after that person made that comment. It wouldn't be so bad if people were more aware of the dates to things they comment to.

Bro read the date of the first and last post before your's... you are a bit late to the party.

It is never too late to be against bot users.

Since everyone is necroing, I really love listening to live music and get sad when it turns out it isn't. Indicating you are live somehow, and just doing a little riff or anything, would probably get players like me to follow you around...
