I'm not sure that's the best example for your point, especially since the n00b part was justified (most of them were confirmed many months ago, most people knew who they alluded to, and as he was in the wiki, the answer was literally 1-2 clicks away, s/he truly had no excuse), but whtvr.

As I don't want to mess with the Empire and face the punishment of it's executioner (you guys got one, I hope), I'll try to be more....polite. Though now I have an idea:

What if, to any and every thread that's been inactive for more than 3 or 4 months, one adds a category that indicates that said thread is dead. It would not prevent people from posting in them, but would make them think twice about posting in it, which would hopefully reduce the amount of necroposts.

Which would please the community; there may not be a rule that stops people from reviving threads, but many are annoyed when someone posts on a dead thread, especially if said someone doesn't give any new information that people didn't know by now or at least says something interesting.
