Only one of which is actually similar.

And that one is discussing the exact same issue, in a matter which is still applicable -- so I would be perfectly happy if that one had been revived for this discussion.

But if there's no way to limit necroposting to non-newbies, just auto-lock the blasted threads, because this is starting to get really confusing.
We already have certain restrictions on newbies, I think selective locking would be good and possibly even possible.
