Some people (new and other posters) just type in, say, 'Chocolate', and up pops a thread that is interesting. I did the same a day or so ago. No big deal, imo. I mentioned Chocolate Covered Cherries and the 'Club' we had here on these boards years ago. CCCC's Chocolate Covered Cherries Club.

There is a huge difference between when an established member accidentally brings up an old thread, an when a "BRAND NEW MEMBER " does it.
When someone is "brand new", it reeks of what a troll would do.
IMO it could be either a clueless newbie who attempts to use the forum’s ghastly inefficient Search feature, or a troll. It’s often trolls, especially when it’s multiples by the same “new” poster.
But I have seen genuine new posters doing it on a single thread or two, and then apologizing for not realizing. Some internet forums prefer that you post in existing threads on a topic, and a new poster wouldn’t know that isn’t the case here.
I know that I personally recognize trolling when I see it, 95% of the time (there’s always that 5% you can’t be sure of or get wrong). I give the moderators credit for being able to see a pattern once someone reports it. If a moderator deletes multiple trolled/bumped old posts, they’re onto that poster’s “work.”
The old posts being bumped don’t bother me as much as the “brand new” posters who make a first post by starting a new thread solely to b***h about something or someone. There are often veritable flurries of “new posters” who pop up like clockwork on weekends to b***h and moan and trash. Then they disappear and a totally new (yeahright) group appears in a couple of weeks, only to disappear, and...
