Necro

Start with 4 points.

+1 if you warn about the necro
-1 if you don't.

-2.5 over 3 years
-1.5 over 1 year - 3 years
-1 6 months to a year
-.5 3 -6 months

-2 points if there is a newer applicable thread within the first 3 pages of the forum, regardless of age.

-1 points if the post or thread pertains to topics rendered obsolete and useless. Ie, asking obsolete questions on GWX v1 or SH3 v1.1

-1 point if the topic was already answered in another thread that could be found in a search. You had to search to necro, but chose to bump the one thread that doesn't answer your question?

+1 if the post is on topic.

+2 if the post is improves upon the thread, ie a significant contribution.

-1 if the post offers no significant improvement to the thread. Ie mindless rambling on or off topic.

Bonus points:

+.5 for using a picture to warn of the necro.

+.25 for every post after until the necro is pointed out.

First poster to identify a necro gets 1 point, and another point for correctly scoring it. *Championship to be awarded at a later time.

ANY thread on the first page of a forum is immune to necro status.
