If the Mods or Admins worry SO darn much about a thread being revived for WHATEVER reason, THEN DELETE THEM!
The rule is dumb, annoying (obviously to both users, mods, and admins), and incredibly pointless.
Its dumb because its inevitable that a thread will be revived for whatever reason/intention be it good or bad.
Its annoying because whoever commits "necromancy" or "reviving" or (wanna punch whoever came up with this) "BUMP!" is bashed or treated like a child/moron - being treated badly for a mistake or whatever was the user's intention is like being beaten to death over a restuarant order mix up.
And it's pointless because someone is obviously gonna create another thread or topic that looks/sounds just like the one locked, creating more wasted space on the website, creating more annoyance, and before you know it, the website managers will start asking "Why did the site suddenly crash?"

SOLUTION: Mods or Admins should be given a feature that allows them to delete a post or the entire thread giving a VERY GOOD explanation - just saying "Not Allowed" doesn't tell us much (imagine playing a sport an the game is suddenly ended by a referee an his/her reason is "Not Allowed", wouldn't you be upset?).

SOLUTION #2: Remove the "necromancy rule" an instead just refer the user via messaging system to a topic matching the one he/she tried to make or tell them to search the forum instead of making a copy thread/topic.

Extra: Personal opinion is that some mods lock a thread/topic that he/she doesn't like an pretty much ruins it for everyone in that particular discussion - imagine having a conversation with your buddies an one your other buddies screams "STFU" an that buddy isn't apart of that discussion. Wouldn't you be angry about the suddenly kill of the discussion?

Seriously, the "No necromancy" rule is like playing D&D as a necromancer that can't BE a necromancer (better example, play any online game that has a respawn system, but every time your character respawns your game crashes to desktop & BSODs).

If a thread is revived with some additional insights or revives the discussion, that's fine. it's the thread resurrections with very little to add that I have a problem with.

[Teh Blasta]

"The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty." - George Washington
