I would've thought that bumping would save mods the job of merging - or is merging frowned upon too? |
None. Ask Ahab, he'll tell you.

Or indeed, any Moby threads.

And, Lisna, merging sometimes isn't as easy as it sounds. You have to determine if the two threads in question really are similar (as in copycats), and if it's worth it when you have to deal with more pressing issues like Spammers for example.
Now back to your regular programming  . |
Yeah I think it's really more annoying when they literally have nothing to add to the thread other than "I like [insert artist here]" or "lol" or some other stupid braindead ****. I assume if someone resurrects a thread with a well-thought-out post it doesn't piss the mods off as much as the other way; at least then an old thread might have new life injected into it, as Lisna posits above, rather than just, to continue the heavy-handed analogy, be woken up, shouted at, and then allowed slip back into its coma.
