Necro Scoring System

[Gargamel]

This is so tongue in cheek that I'm not going to bother putting in the kerbal network forum, as the intent of this joke thread might even violate the forums rules.

I've used this system on other forums to play a littel game when a thread get's necro'd.  Seeing as @Snark just got burned by one (he may be a bit salty right now, so I'm half hiding posting this), I figured I'd add a bit to the bonus section. 

Start with 4 points.

+1 if you warn about the necro
-1 if you don't.

-2.5 over 3 years
-1.5 over 1 year - 3 years
-1 6 months to a year
-.5 3 -6 months

-2 points if there is a newer applicable thread within the first 3 pages of the forum, regardless of age.

-1 points if the post or thread pertains to topics rendered obsolete and useless.

-1 point if the topic was already answered in another thread that could be found in a search. You had to search to necro, but chose to bump the one thread that doesn't answer your question?

+1 if the post is on topic.

+2 if the post is improves upon the thread, ie a significant contribution.

-1 if the post offers no significant improvement to the thread. Ie mindless rambling on or off topic.

Bonus points:

+.5 for using a picture to warn of the necro.

+.25 for every post after until the necro is pointed out.

Double points if a moderator posts in the thread without realizing it's a necro.

First poster to identify a necro gets 1 point, and another point for correctly scoring it.  Total score is applied to the poster who caused the necro.

*Championship to be awarded at a later time.

ANY thread on the first page of a forum is immune to necro status.

 

Note, as I said, this is all tongue in cheek, it's a joke.  I am not condoning, supporting, or complaining about necro's.   Just having a bit of sport.

Huh? 

Please don't post in the threads, nor report them just for funsies.
