Hey! I have one thing to tell, then I have one question to ask!

I have been noticing these days, that Moderators, even FBs are making mistakes with locking threads. (No Offence) Lets say, somebody posted a thread that is called "Pokemon Crater". Lets also say, that a Moderator/FB comes in, and locks that thread and say something like:

There has already been a topic like this.

Please post in your opinions in:

[insert here a link to the older Pokemon Crater thread]

*Locked*

-----------------

The problem is that if that innocent peroson, that created the "Pokemon Crater" thread (that just got locked), posts in the older Pokemon Crater thread (the link that the M/FB has given to him/her), then that would be Necromancy, also that innocent person will get a warning from a Moderator/Frontier Brain. Also the older thread will be locked.

My question is how unfair is that? Isn't there a reason for a M/FB to explain, before even locking the new thread that has already has been mentioned before?

I hope I make sense...

In the event that a mod locks a topic for the reason of "there's already another" it is done with the expectation of the old topic being revived. We're not trying to trap you. When a mod tells you to revive the other thread rather than post a new one, the judgement call that it is "acceptible necromancy" has already been made.

Ok. Thanks alot for your comments. Question ... answered, I guess?
