Insufficient OP, and even without that it's in the wrong forum, too.

EDIT: very similar thread from the same user- viewtopic.php?f=25&t=348012


Already caught it, thanks.

And consider this an opposition to that. Just because it hasn't been posted on for about 3 weeks doesn't automatically mean that it should be considered Gravedigging. If the information is relevant (which it is), and if it's going to avoid a new thread being created (which keeping it going will - although now I think about it, the opportunity to create a new thread without that awful spelling mistake would be nice.) then it should be allowed to stay open.

I agree. It was bumped with relevant info and seems to have restarted the discussion. No need for a lock.

Really? I was going off this, and it's been more than a couple of weeks. If the standards have changed then it might be worth updating the rules?

However, the topic is not one that frequently crops up and it's a long running thread that's received a fresh infusion of information within a fairly reasonable time frame. There is no reason to lock it as a gravedig.

Fair enough. But as I said, it might be worth updating the guidelines to reflect this then, :)

I remember rather unfondly of creating a thread with the exact same premise, which was locked due to the premise being considered unsavory, so I'm guessing the same applies here.
Depressing Nordic semi-socialist commonwealth filled with Lovecraftian horrors, man-eating fox people, Finns, bizarre accents, Saabs, and Volvos.

It was neither relevant (a link to a story which has got nothing to do with Gamergate, feminism, and/or journalistic ethics) nor did it actually restart the discussion.

Insufficient reason to lock a thread. It'll drift down the pages like all abandoned topics.
