[Question] Admins/Mods attention: Rules counteracting one another?

I used to search for threads too back in '11..
That shouldn't be a problem though, since the Versus threads has its own private section. Meaning they don't appear in the latest threads or in the Naruto Discussion meaning good threads won't be pushed to the bottom of the list...
As a matter of fact.. I was the one to put in the suggestion of removing the VS threads from the latest threads list months ago, which cleared up the latest threads list of spam

I'm not complaining. Just being the pessimistic person on this. Now that it's out of the way. I'll be waiting for the Mods to answer this of not...then contact one personally and tell us!
Well, I for example follow the threads by New Post, sometimes, to see what's new, so on and so forth and the good threads are pushed back this way.I used to search for threads too back in '11..

However, when I look by sections, as well, they might not be there because newer ones have appeared.
And maybe you don't have the time to stay and reply that thread immediately and get yourself with others and then you remember about that thread, but it's too old now and you're not allowed to respond in it anymore.
Hope you see where I'm coming from.
I even gave an example.
I didn't say you were complaining, in the end, you said your opinion.
But I am sure in the end Mods will clear this for us.

Chatte,
I also agree with your 'personal' idea of a solution to the problem (assuming that our understanding of both rule's are correct). I think it would be a lot easier... not just for new members, but for the discussion sections on a whole.

First of all I pretty much always reply to PM's unless it's about something that can be fixed without answering. Anyway about the question, if a thread has died months ago it died for a reason, no need to revive it. If however there is new information out on the subject to be discussed, the thread are not really a copy so no reason for infraction either.
So simply don't revive threads, and if you want to discuss something that's been written before in a dead thread.. contribute with something new else you could just have read the original thread.

I don't know, it was an idea.
Though we have the problem of really silly threads. Those ones I wouldn't revive myself.
But threads a la Blaze and Varrah, how I said before, I'd let those keep on an on.
They always make interesting threads to read.
Regarding the last part, don't know, this is up to the Admins/Mods.
Well, that was something I had people saying to me with one of my threads, however I showed them it doesn't fall under that rule.
Regarding the second part, for example how it was on that thread I gave as an example, basically I posted something that no one said before, so it's nothing wrong with it as long as it's different, new perspective, right?

True. But i guess it's all cleared up now.
This Makes alot of sense. I guess the Real solution to the problem is Members taking the time to follow the rules and use the searchbar.
Thanks for clearing this up Zise.
P.S: You may have been the only Admin i've never PM'd. I take back what i said earlier about Admins not replying to PM's...it was too general of a statement.
Let me make a few things clear:
1- Rule of the duplicate thread applies on the active threads.
2- Active thread means last post in the thread is less than a month old.
3- Sticky threads are considered active no matter how old.
4- If the post in the thread is older than a month it is considered old/dead/necro thread and not allowed to be bumped. Most of the times the topic is redundant by then, the user who were participating have moved on, new facts have come to light, people do not read the whole thread and may be arguing back and forth and the list goes on. So there is not much use bumping them up.
5- You can post the new thread on the topic if the old one is dead by our definition. You can even re-post it if it's yours or ask that user or give a reference and post it again if you want more discussion on that topic as long as some new fact has come up worth discussing.
