The people who keep making "What is Jaune's Semblance?" threads didn't bother to check if there was already a thread for it. We didn't tell them not to post in the already existing threads.

As for "Why make a new topic when there is an old one?", like I said earlier, sometimes those older threads were posted in by people who don't come to this wiki anymore, so it would be bothersome for them if they get notifications from those old threads.

The big thing is that, if the topic has something that can actually be added to it and can still be discussed, then we don't mind as much if someone decides to bring it back up again, especially if the show brought out new information that can stimulate the discussion again. But if the thread is several months or even a year old, or more, it's preferable that a new thread is made, rather than posting in the old thread and sending a notification to users who may have no interest in returning to that thread or the wiki itself.
