There would've been no point in "fixing" it under that circumstance just to delete it. Asking for justification under that circumstances is perfectly reasonable, especially when the issue was approached as 'exempt this entire forum just for my one thread' with no substantiating reasoning.
Eos, if i may ask, where is this consideration? i cant recall him making a public statement about this issue; though to not deviate, ill just pm you what i'd have put here else. the boards that people've been making a fuss over have been fixed, and this pointless banter back and forth about how you carry yourself is just further ruining SP's image. can we not even have a single thread you make that doesnt turn into a question/critique/analyze/criticize-everything-you-do? What good does this image portray of the site as a whole? not a damned thing. wasnt it someone who once said that if you have something to discuss that doesnt pertain to the forum discussion at hand, take it else where?
though to that end of trying to keep this thread on track: what motivation other than "i dont want to deal with necro-posting infractions anymore if they can be avoided" is there behind this move? im saying that because of the thought of a forum where you cannot necro-post seems a bit out of place. go across the internet, and most every forum you could find would have something about necro-posting, even if its just a slap on the wrist, "dont do that again" thing. i wont even say that this idea is inhibiting on ones ability to post, because all it does is force someone to clutter up a forum with a question that might already have been answered (on the same page). it'd be an annoyance on the user, sure, but it wouldn't prevent the person from posting at all. but other than that, is there really any motivation behind it?
