Warning when about to necro a thread?

[DuskAtDawn]

I know SB and SV have a little warning above your reply when posting to a dead thread. Is that something that can be implemented here, or is it part of the ongoing experimental build that is SB? As I understand it, quite a few necros happen because people don't realize they're necroing, b/c they only look at the date of the last post, not the month.

Maybe it could have a copy of rule 7 in it, so people understand what material is allowed and what isn't in a thread necro?

alethiophile and tehelgee have the big bucks to handle this question.

That's an addon that alethiophile would need to add, if it's been released.

Eh, it's probably not worth spending money on until the board grows bigger. Necros aren't so much a problem at the size we are right now, it would just be nice to have going forward.

I believe this addon has been released; I can't recall if it's for pay or not. Much of Xon's stuff is actually free.

I'll add it to the Big List of Things to Mess With Next Time I Do Forum Maintenance.
