Reviving old threads without good reason

[Peter Nielsen]

Is this allowed? If it is, maybe the rules should be reviewed and updated. It is very frustrating to have to read old outdated threads from 3+ years back just because of a new comment that doesn't give any new value to the tread at all.

Ok, if it happens to one or two thread no big deal. But 20+ threads! THAT IS FRUSTRATING! :M

I doubt I'm the only one with this opinion...

Thanks,
Peter

Agree Peter it was very annoying. All those threads brought up with nothing new. I thought it was a joke at first.

It was some shmuck who registered and dredged up a bunch of old threads. There's no hard and set rule against it, but it's generally not good forum etiquette. Sure, 1 or 2 threads, but not 20+.

We're discussing what to do about it. We will probably delete the posts in question, to return the old threads back down into the murky depths of HTG.

Ooops

As a recent returnee to audio I must confess to the same "crime". I grew up pre-PC and have been overwhelmed by the availability and quality of info available. I would tend not to be too harsh to a newbie to the forum , if only because my manners have gotten better and everyone here was exceedingly kind to me during the learning phase. "Kid in a candy store" syndrome isn't uncommon , and shows enthusiaism this hobby can only benefit from. My $.02.

P.S. the learning phase continues......

The problem has been addressed.

Most/all of the mini-posts have been deleted that added no value. So the only side-effect left is that those of us that responded to those posts (I think mostly me) will now appear rather silly, as if you responded to nothing.
