Reviving old threads, i don’t see how this can possibly be causing any sort of issue. Ive also seen it when someone posts a new thread and then someone says their is already an existing thread.
Because, old threads can potentially have outdated information or pre-release assumptions. We don’t want people to think that is fact. Also redirecting to existing threads reduces the amount of clutter on the forums. You don’t to sift through hundreds of threads on the same topic, would you?
Also this doesn’t belong in the Halo 5 section.
E.g. reviving an old breakout thread from 2016
Breakout has been revamped multiple times so content from that post would be irrelevant and there will be that one “Caboose” replying to the thread…
Also OP there were even some ppl replying to a thread on pre halo 5 launch. E.g the thread was abt some H5 speculation stuff before launch… 1 year later, in 2016 some guy comments on it…

My two cents;
Reviving old threads
- The information is likely to be outdated. - Some of the people who posted may not even be around anymore. - If people were allowed to revive ancient threads, there wouldn’t be room for current and active conversations. - It’s also considered spam in the forum rules; those are linked in my signature you might want to give them a read
- If there isn’t an active thread on an appropriate topic on the issue, feel free to create one.Redirecting to existing threads;
It’s generally easier if all the conversation about a specific issue is in one place; - it prevents the same two or three people from having the same conversation in three places. - It allows feedback to be easy for the relevant parties to find. - It allows the conversation on a topic to include all facets of it as opposed to segmenting across the forum.If you have further questions about moderation decisions, please PM one of the moderations team rather than posting about it on the forums (again, you might want to take a look at those forum rules.)
