This is just my opinion, but wouldn't that be on the people that failed to read the date? The confusion? It's not like the date is hidden or hard to find; it's at the top of every post, and present after the thread title when they click on it. I'm sorry, but blaming Kaiva for others' inability to fully read is silly.
Are we talking General Discussion, or New Posts? Because, right now, at 20 threads per page, General Discussion only has 2 threads as necros; and at 25 threads per page, New Posts only has 2 threads that are necros (this is excluding the ongoing megathreads, such as the Marriage Thread, Tales of the Duty Finder, and Show Your [X] threads—since they are not necros). That’s...not 50% of the threads on Page 1.
Ironically, so is all the arguing about necroing threads and calling people trolls for it.
If people are bothered, that’s on them. Your positivity being affected is because you get bothered by little things. I see old threads necro’d, and I just don’t care. Hence, my positivity is not bothered by this perceived negativity.
I find some of these old threads interesting; it’s nice to see how things were back in the day before I played. Then again, I also have read some of the old Megathreads (such as the Tales of the Duty Finder and Healer Horror Stories) from start to finish when I first joined the OF. Because it was interesting to read people’s stories on things that are now trivialized by blatant overgearing.
You have a right to complain, but you don’t have the right to really police the forums. Neither do people have the right to threaten to report people (that IS a violation of the forum, by the way, since you’re purposely threatening someone).
Honestly, it sounds like you should just let things go; you may be better off for it, since this apparently bothers you so much. I don’t understand WHY, because you don’t HAVE to click on any of these old threads—you can just ignore them and scroll past them; that’s what I tend to do, though I spend less and less time on the OF these days in favor of other things.
And, as I already pointed out, they aren’t swamping Page 1 of either General Discussion or New Posts, so they cannot be considered “spammy”.
