"This is great sport. I can feel you breathing down my neck now."
Not the first time you've posted something along those lines.
Is this a game to you Weabul ? Poking at the Moderators to get our attention ? The kind of attention you may not want ?
There's not much latitude left.
Just sayin'
"And if ancient threads are trouble for the moderators to monitor effectively, why are they not closed?"
Bringing life to an old thread isn't really a problem. The potential difference in the posting rules could be an issue if someone doesn't bother to follow the current rules. We're quite effective at monitoring current posts, no matter how old the thread is or how long it's been since the last post in that thread. Letting a member know they've broken a rule isn't necessarily us "Jumping" on them. It's usually more of a "Hey, by the way" kinda thing. Unless they continue to ignore the rules.
Some threads, especially the old "Pic Dumping Threads" had a completely different set of rules way back when. Had Copyright Material bursting out at the seams. It lead to Totem being contacted and put on the spot. Which is exactly why we currently have Copyright Material prohibited in all categories except the "Nude Girls" category. Only a hand full of other sites agreed to allow that.
One more thing before I go.......
Be as paranoid as you want but, don't try to instill ***** into the minds of other members. That point of conversation needs to stop right now.
