Questions about Rules

[chenlimin]

The Hive Workshop
[*]Hive Workshop users are permitted to post in threads within six months of the thread's most recent post.


[*]Posting in a thread 15 days after the most recent reply is considered necroposting.

It says it's allow to post six months after the most recent post in the first point, but says it's not allow to post after 15 days of the most recent post in the secert point, which one does it mean?
PS:I want to post in the thread about necroposting http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40215&highlight=rule but it's 4 month about the last post and i will break one point of the rules.

Try to avoid Necroposting as much as possible, that's all I can say. Necroposting is posting in a thread that has not recieved any replies within a long time. A long time can be even twenty days, approximatley.

It means that you actually WILL NOT BE ABLE to post a reply in threads that are 6 months old. As far as the part about being 15 days old, you will be able to physically post in the thread. But it is discouraged because if a thread has gone 15 days without a post it means no one wants to see it anymore and you should just let it slip away. So all in all the first part is telling you what you CANT do, and the second part is telling you what you SHOULDN'T do. I hope that clarifies things for you a bit.

There are times when you should, but only if:

- You have a real and significant reason for posting.
- It is better served by being posted in the old thread than a new one.

Yeah, necroposting is allowed if you have anything really important to say about the topic (that's not already obvious to people), yet you don't feel like making a new thread for it.
