Didn't mean to defend the users who replied in that thread, but the @OP is also wrong since he didn't use his logic and hurry to make a thread.
It's a mistake, but I think not a big deal, moreover the forum is getting softer from year to year. Probably the thread would be locked instead of moved to trashcan.
However, I don't understand why people are replying to old post...
It's very easy, because you didn't read what I wrote before replying either, and this is another example of several in this very thread. At least in this case what is relevant is on page 3.
See this:
I had locked this thread, but I thought I'd rather unlock it than create a new one. I just came across another example. <...>
I'm going to lock it again, and this time for good. It's mission impossible.
You're right. Incurable.
But not reading the first page, especially if the thread is only one page long is a cardinal sin.
I'm about to send a PM to the manager so he doesn't pay him for that post.
What do you think about this?
Let me air my opinion. We have been in this forum together and see how things happen. It is not right to respond to a post while still on the first page without reading through the conversation. But there are some exceptions.
Take for instance, OP created a poll or a similar thread requiring individual unbiased answers. Someone could just read the Op and it is enough to give their answers.
The essence of reading through people's replies before posting is to ensure you are not repeating what others have said and secondly to check if the context of discussion had changed on the way. So, in such posts like polls or something similar, one can just read only OP and still be correct to post. So, check the nature of the post you were referring to in OP before reporting to the campaign manager if necessary.
