> [@tempogain](#): > > A gravedig is when someone makes a post in a thread that has not been posted in for years, especially when the post does not add anything substantial to the previous conversation. So, a user should go read the whole old thread, 678 posts, to see of his/her post is relevant in adding something new? Warnings that can be used preventing gravedigging: ‘You really want to gravedig?’ 'Your username will be changed permanently to ‘necromancer’.! ---

In other words, there are good gravedigs and bad gravedigs. If you’re not familiar with the tread content, there’s always some risk of being off topic. ---

Well… they must be lurking without an account cause if it says they haven’t signed in since '06…I think it’s safe to say they moved on. ---
