Okay, I think this "discussion" is getting out of hand.
The simple fact is that there are rules in place that people will disagree with (hell, I disagree with some), but you can't please everyone and if we got rid of all the rules that people disagree with, we wouldn't have any.
And then the place would be chaos. I saw it happen on the old Star Trek.com forums, and it wasn't pretty. Page after page of nothing but spam
Yes, there are other forums that allow necroposting, and that's fine. But those are other forums, not this one.
Many of the rules are in place from before most of the current staff were in place. And we have changed rules, this one included.
So please, even if you disagree with them, abide by the rules.
