One of the strengths of any forum is an archive of informative, insightful and amusing threads. Just because the odd idiot tries to stir up trouble by resurrecting unfortunate ones shouldn't be allowed to impact on the access to other valuable threads.
On any forum you're going to be able to revive threads that have long been 'dead', it's just the way it has to be. As for 'is it right to go digging for posts' then it depends. What are the motives? I know what you're referring to and in that case I think the motive is clear - to cause trouble - however it won't work because us reglee-ers know better.
Rover. Better tp ust let it go. We all know why it was done but the guy that did it didn't know the history of all the posts that followed. Not an excuse for him but just a fact. Don't give them the oxygen of publicity and don't rise to the bait.
In Response to Re: SHOULD A RULE BE BROUGHT IN TO STOP ARCHIVE POST DIGGING? READ EXAMPLE POST BELOW B4 VOTING! : But then all the fences would fall down ........... what a silly idea. Posted by _Woof_
Fences do nothing except keep people apart. Maybe if there was no fences we would all get along and Dohhh would not hate James Hartigan!
IS IT RIGHT TO GO DIGGING FOR PAST POSTS ON POSTERS, WHEN THE GUY/GAL HAS ALREADY SAID SOZ HE/SHE WAS WRONG . SHOULD SKYRICH DELETE THESE POSTS , SHOULD IT BE KNOCKED IN THE HEAD NOW B4 IT GETS OUT OF CONTROL . DISCUSS BUT DONT TURN IN TO A SLANGING MATCH PRETTY PLZZZZZZZZ ! Posted by IRISHROVER
I like the thought, i dont think such a rule could be monitored properly, unless every post was is put out of reach. Reading through last nights and this mornings threads, its ashame the way they have panned out in to such a frenzy.
I think the orignal post should be deleted, but at the request of, or by those involed.
