Do you think we should automatically closed the thread if there is no response for 4 months. This can prevent zombie infection from spreading. i called it zombie infection caused zombie threads are always being revive. LOL :D Re: Zombie infection 13 Years Ago by jingda Is this consider reviving a zombie thread and hijacking it as well Re: Handling SIGCHLD to prevent zombie processes 13 Years Ago by Tellalca Thanks. Your way of handling is different than mine i think. Isn't handling signals more convenient way of handling zombie processes than checking zombie processes every application logic cycle? It may not be so overwhelming but if you think ideally would not it waste some CPU power too?

Otherwise close it. However, the powers that be do not want to automatically close a thread. It would be interesting what %age of necroposts are actually valid.

I am not sure whether this has been discussed in… Re: Zombie Feeders post to say thanks 12 Years Ago by jingda @ Debasisdas It does bother me because most of them are signature spammers and reporting their posts everytime does not really help the situation. Re: Zombie Feeders post to say thanks 12 Years Ago by Narue Old threads are not automatically closed because there's no reason why the discussion could not be continued profitably by newcomers. We've discussed the issue of bumping before, and concluded that it's not enough of an issue to introduce such heavy handed methods. However, bumping is indeed frowned upon if the new post contains nothing that … Re: Zombie Feeders post to say thanks 12 Years Ago by Nick Evan We have this nice new rule: [quote] Do ensure that all posts contain [B]relevant content and substance[/B] and are not simply vehicles for external links, [B]including signature links[/B] [/quote] So if you see someone bumping a thread for a "thank you diz iz greeeeat post!"

But as it stands, the ratio is around 1:999 in favour of bad posts. Bad posts we see repeatedly on a daily basis. Good posts - well when was the last time you saw one?

Does that need flagging too? ALthought it has no spam links, it clutter up the thread with useless info.

Re: Zombie Feeders post to say thanks 12 Years Ago by Ancient Dragon I would like to see Dani apply those same rules over on PFO. There currently are no rules against sig only spamming, so many of them are not deleted, although I must admit to deleting them anyway in some cases. For example I'll delete "nice post, thanks for sharing" type posts even though there are no rules forbidding it.

I know we've discussed it to death, but I'm still not convinced that contributions after this are that useful. There again it's pointless going on about it. :(
