If a thread is revived, admins usually close it. So what happens now? The thread is just deleted? How come I (and probably others) do not know that old threads are not ever allowed to be revived? Lastly, wouldn't restricting the rivival of older threads on all acounts cause people to post random things regularly on their suggestions out of desperation to not lose it?

I guess I just don't entirely agree with this rule, because there are a lot of really good suggestions that with just a little bit of work could turn out to be much more successful than they were initially. For example, Just by adding a summary and changing the title, this suggestion reieved 13 more kudos, almost doubling its count. I suppose with propper reasoning and explanation I could come to agree with this rule, but at the moment it seems like all is needed is common sense and maturity with revival, and to only revive an older thread if there is something truly valuable to add to it. Lastly, I believe that necroposting should be more well known to people, and should probably be posted in the suggestion rules. Thank you anyone for taking your time to read this, even though parts may have been my opinion on the topic, I hope we can all gain valuable insight as to the purpose of this rule.
