I was quite clear that "Certain entire forums may also become exempt from this restriction if sufficient reason is found to do so."
This is the first attempt anyone's made at providing such a reason. Your previous request was "exempt the entire forum just for my one thread", which forgive me, was not particularly moving. It's good to see other people waking up and actually participating now but it'd nice to see people focusing on how to make things work best, rather than just complaining about what they don't want.

Then the Necro rule will either be reversed or newer stricter rules will be implemented because of people abusing the 21 day limit.
Bumping with out adding anything would be spam and there is already a mechanism to address spam.
