Link your new thread to the old one, problem solved.
But I agree with you. If the thread is still active, and you can post on it, then you did nothing wrong. Many people online might see these posts years later.
If they don't want you to "necro" then they should lock old posts. It's not the fault of the poster, just bad management.
If it has been months or years since the last post, just make a new thread and provide a link to the old one.
Old threads most of the time have outdated info that can lead to misinformation being spread because that old info may not work.
there's actually no such thing as necro in a forum.
and no mention of it in the rules
https://psteamhelp.yuanyoumao.com/en/faqs/view/6862-8119-C23E-EA7B
if someone replies to a thread that's still relevant, with a valid response, no matter how old the thread was, that's not necro.
if someone replies to a thread simply to bring it to the front page without adding to the convo, that's a bump, which is against the rules, but it's not necro.
if someone replies to a thread with nonsense, for no reason, that's spam, which is against the rules, but it's not necro.
but also note, the front page of the forums says: "Searching is key! Before you post a question, use the forum search feature to determine whether your topic has already been covered."
which implies users are encouraged to post in existing threads.
but as you've experienced, that leads to cries of "necro".
however, and I speak from experience, if a user started a new thread about a topic already covered, those same users would cry "use the search".
and, of course, once a thread is closed, there's the rule against: "Re-posting closed, modified or deleted content"
so, combined, the effective rule is "topics may only be discussed once ever".
yeh, these forums are a terrible place.
sadly, valve don't care.
if they did care, they'd add something to alert a user they're adding to an old thread so ensure it's relevant.
or, they'd make it clearer that a new reply in a thread was a long time after the previous reply, instead of hoping the next user to see it checked the timestamps themselves.
good luck out there.
Only if one didn't actually read. Being told to search before posting doesn't mean you then post in an old thread. It just means you should search to see if your question is already answered before posting. It doesn't then tell you to go bump old threads if its not answered.
Hopefully this help clears up your confusion. Please let us know if there are any other rules you aren't familiar with on steam and we can assist you with those as well.
I know, you are trying to help but please refrain from talking to people like they are children...
I apologize if that is how you read it, being unknowledgable on a subject doesn't make one a child. No one is an expert on everything afterall.
Likewise its not a "capital offense" to lock a thread. Now if they issued you a ban for it then it would be another issue. Hopefully you've realized that the proper way to handle this as others have mentioned is to not bump old threads, but instead create a new thread and you can even link back to the old thread
So only lock ones that have outdated information...but the mods lock old threads that are still 100% accurate and nothing has changed since the thread was last discussed. There are far too many topics on the exact same issue already, increasing the number of duplicated threads on the same topic by moderator action is dumb.
Or maybe someone is being WAY too sensitive about a thread being locked for being irrelevant
Moderators aren't going to spend hours researching threads to determine if they have old info or not.
Not to mention how would a random moderator know if the information for fixing a bug in Game X is outdated or not? They would have no way to know
Personally your posts scream to me like you have absolutely no knowledge of nettiquette whatsoever and it is thus very easy to completely disregard your opinion on what is basically an universally agreed rule on every single forum in existence.
