Final Death of Necroposting

Then why shouldn't it be automated?
Why is fair to punish users for things they shouldn't have been allowed to do?

This isn't about punishing people that necropost; it's more about punishing those that just want to post regularly, like Throes. Seriously, open up another tab and take a walk around Southperry. Look at all of the subforums that have some pretty hot topics on the first page. There's quite a few that are more than a month old. Where I come from, necroposting is bumping an older thread and not contributing to it at all, or just asking some kind of retarded question that was already answered two dozen times in the same thread. Take the Thief subforum, for example. I'm making a Dual Blader and would like to ask a couple of unanswered questions before making a build of my own. Why the pineapple should I make a new thread when there's a perfect one sitting right there? Oh, right, because it's been 21 days so that thread is officially dead now. It's stupid. Southperry isn't Sleepywood where we have the same topics being brought up constantly. I would even go as far as saying Southperry's overall activity has lessened quite a bit in the past couple of months. Nearly every subforum has month-old threads on the first page; some even going further, and I just think it's stupid to have anything on the first page be automatically locked for "being too old". Still new enough to be halfway down page 1.

The only forum I could see this automated poopy working well in is General Maple and that's it. Open up your little statistics notebook and I'll bet that most necroposts occur there anyway. Anywhere else just doesn't make enough sense.
