All of the above users directly quoted the OP or are answering other users who quoted the OP in a thread that I really would consider dead already. The question is who is at fault? The guy who bumped the thread 1st sirminesalot? All of them? Guys who kept bumping? Just want everyone to take a step or 2 in my shoes and give their opinions on what you would do with all these users?
Let us follow how reports work in this sequence:
Post #58: Old Post
Post #59: Necrobump
Post #60+: Future replies
Post #59 is reported.
Post #59 is deleted.
All posts 60+ are decremented by one.
Now the flow looks like this:
Post #58: Old Post
Post #59: Necrobump
Post #60+: Future replies
Hence, any irrelevant necrobump reply that is not of enough substance to justify the bump should be removed, period. Anyone who is unwilling to read the context of the post isn't posting for the sake of the discussion. Rather, they are posting for the sake of the signature. Why else wouldn't you read? Honestly.
