PC Gaming Rules For Posting Clarification? Necros and Similar Game Topics Not OK?

[SlickSnake]

Is there a limit to how many threads can be opened about a particular game in PC gaming or a different necro rule there? Because even bumping the "Official" thread there about SWTOR would also probably be violating a necro rule by a year and a half, and the "Official" SWTOR thread wasn't stickied at the top of the page to easily find for anyone looking, either.

And this was the only new thread I started in PC gaming in I don't know how long, and it was also about a recent 9 day old article, and it was not a necro or a repost by any means. And I didn't put it in the "Official" SWTOR thread, because after a year and a half getting buried in posts, obviously nobody was posting in there.

There are usually numerous multiple threads about the same games in PC Gaming, including another newer thread about SWTOR, even.

Update:
And as I was looking around here I saw this post http://forums.anandtech.com/showpost.php?p=37095971&postcount=372

Infrastructural/Policy:

• Increase prominence of Rules of Conduct across the forum as stickies/announcements
• Codify Politics & News rules

So maybe this post should have been in the suggestion box, because that's a large part of the problem. Every single subforum needs a clearly written short list at the top of specific rules that are expected to pertain to that forum, if they don't have them already.

Your thread added nothing new to the conversation and you had already bumped the old thread which people had started responding to so that original was left open and your new one locked having two active threads about the exact same thing makes no sense. You also bumped the other SWTOR thread with no relevant info, but that was left open for discussion.

I see no need to amend any rules; these things are judgement calls. If, however, you are upset about moderation, please take it to the mod discussions forum.
