This is the beginners and help board of the forum. So as a beginner, I am here to get some help. I therefore appeal to you to kindly forgive my ignorance, but I need to ask these questions so that I can get a clearer understanding and not break the forum's rules.

1. If necroposting isn't allowed to prevent spamming why aren't very old threads lock?

2. If I come across an old thread from 2021 and I think I have new input to contribute, would do you advice me to start a new thread instead of bumping the old one?
