I'm not even the one who had the idea of coming here to request an exception, someone else agrees with me. It doesn't matter whether or not it has caused a problem (it has, no matter how minor that problem is), you're trying to fix something that isn't broken.
The measure is to make it easier for moderators to do their jobs. Out of all the duties they have to perform, necroposting will no longer have to be considered as they thumb through posts. I'd like to think that instead of giving us the smoking gun for us to shoot, Eosian has simply removed it from even being abused. Instead of raising the possibility of getting banned, a measure was induced to try to stop that possibility altogether. If you really are interested in responding to an old thread, then you can try posting up a new thread and cross-reference the old post. If Eosian wants to fix things that aren't broken, then why is it a problem if he works on things that are a non-issue. I don't understand what the big deal is about the necroposting restrictions, especially after certain areas have gotten exclusion privileges. The site isn't going to be better off due to bumping old posts that were written a long time ago. The site will improve when people begin to contribute new and original threads that haven't been sourced off of an image board or you-tube. The fact is that there are many methods available to you in order to update your thread. If necroposting was never a big issue, then why is it a big issue when Eos implements some methods to make it more manageable?
