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?
It ain't allowed for the fact that many insensible peeps would end up messing up the already concluded discussions on that thread - assuming it was a thread for a major project -- but it ain't also Locked cus permanently cus at some point, modifications could be made in future.
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?
It all really differ in many cases. Depends on the issue in question, if it's necessary to make them as a continuation, then that's exact..but if not, then you'll have a create a smaller thread that's coined from the former, as an appraisal.
