One of them is All Categories and the other one is Threads Only. They are not the same.
Also, why would we have a Recent Posts category for necros? :wtf:
lets just say someone makes a post about a old idea or mod, Instead of that person getting banned the post goes to the other category.

You're not supposed to bump old threads, though. You're trying to make a feature out of an annoyance.

You certainly can bump up old threads, if it adds something of value to the discussion or if you're the OP or if you've already posted in it once.

Idk who said it, I think it was Raul.. or one of the old supervisors.
Could also be that none of them said it and memory isn't serving me correct.

Anyway, if you got a thread from 2006 about a incredibly peculiar GBA/NDS/Wii problem for example and have figured out a way to fix it, you can necrobump a thread.
People on google who stumble upon the thread will get an answer from it immediately then.

Tho in general, threads that haven't seen activity in >6 months/ 1 year shouldn't be bumped anymore.

    damn i got band
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Hm... I got suspended from reddit due to suspicious activity.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    They could specify what suspicious is.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Skelletonike, Not a huge fan of Reddit. Moderation is utter trash and people give out bad advice (well, not all the time, but you get what I'm saying). Even to a point where you get banned from a subreddit regardless of following the rules (or post deleted). :mellow:
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I never got banned from any subreddit :mellow:
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    not subreddit and not banned
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    had to replace my password, just don't see what they meant with sus activity
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I am banned from the subreddit funny though, despite never posting anything there or getting any warning

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Skelletonike, Did u check your e-mail to see whether they messaged you about the ban reason?
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    nothing
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    only noticed last week when I was gonna comment on something
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Could be either your e-mail address being anonymous or temporary, or some other thing that I don't know of.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    nvm, was banned 3 years ago
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I asked why I was banned, never got a reply
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Well that was 3 years ago, shouldn't hurt to make a new account. Or just never bother.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I'm not banned from reddit, that was just from funny

  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    From reddit was just the suspension, changed the password and all goood

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Oh good. :)
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I've blocked all the auto-ban bots so I shouldn't be auto-banned for no reason
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't use reddit but do auto ban bots not need to be mod, which means they can see your posts regardless?
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    not in other subs
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    basically they check if you're a member of other subreddits, you can be banned just for being in a sub they don't like, even though it is not against the rules
