PSA: Update to necroposting rule

[Angrboda]

So, are we supposed to guess which threads won't be enforced.  Yes you should apologize for the stupid.  When Tibs ran the place, a part of his philosophy was to make rules triggered by specific actions rather than being subject to the judgement of the staff members specifically, as the latter leads to poor moderation, mistakes, and abuses.  Needless to say, you can't eliminate all judgment aspects, but where you can, it is desirable.  It seems staff wants us to be mind readers, or, at least, to open a thread in the questions subforum everytime we want to resurrect such a thread so staff can tell us what in their inscrutable wisdom should be done.  Again, you've used a mallet for a mosquito.  The members and behavior you speak of were few and far between.  I'm calling bullshit.

So, what would you suggest?

I'll give it some thought. At minimum would be to add that threads will be opened upon request at staff discretion. Though I don't think any rule is needed. How many problem postings have we seen?
