Thread digs

[6 shooter]

How long since the latest post in a thread before its old and posting on its a thread dig?
Ive just seen that phrase Thread dig in heaps of threads...

Why did you post two topics? You can just get a moderator to fix the title.

I would say it could be anywhere from 2 week to 1 year, depends what the topic is on, like if it's "what car do you have" i would say over a year or so would be about it.

But a "how do i fix this" thread which hasn't been posted in 2 weeks would be a stupid bump.

what's the problem with bringing up old topics?

it's what is going to happen when someone asks a question only to be told "FFS use the search function"

so they go searching and find and post in a topic only to be abused for thread digging

I don't see the problem with it if it is a relevant topic to what they are posting.

Yes if it's relevant to the topic but 99% (or more) are people saying (for example) "Yeah I reckon you should get the 5 spoke rims over the other ones", to a question that was asked 4 years ago.

and then someone comes up with the obvious answer " this thread is 4 years old" instead of just letting it slip quietly back into oblivion

I vote we research the matter. Lets leave this thread alone for 3 years and than post up the results.

I can see this thread being dug up in 5 years and bumped by some smart ass.

A week... or a day, I can't remember which..

[Troy711]

Or maybe it's a week day..

You cant set a rule for this because it depends on the thread topic. But when someone does dig up a thread with a stupid comment. dont post in it, that only brings the stupid thread up further. just let it go.

ARe you sure????????????????????

if someone chucks an additional question off an old thread, then its not really a dig, but when someone posts an answer to a question that was raised 6 months or more ago, then they get something like this:
