    The necromancy rule is the following
    "7: Thread Necromancy is (very) conditionally permitted.
    • Threads that have been dormant for 1 month are considered dead threads. IF you make a post to a dead thread, it must be a significant contribution; story update, new information on current events, new activity for games elsewhere, etc. Asking if a story or quest is dead or will be continued does not count as contributing."
    Would an omake post be considered a significant contribution or story update in a questing thread, or should I wait until the OP restarts the quest to post it, if necessary?

    Thank you for your help.

    It has to be an actual omake post. Not a 1 liner or short paragraph to be considered a significant contribution.

    You can also wait til the OP restarts it or ping em with a DM or profile post

    Dumb question I know, but if a mod has warned to not necro, does responding count as necro, or would that just be me confirming that the message has been received? I wanted to know because I almost revived a story I'm following, and didn't want to fall down the entire slide face first if ya know what I mean.

    Yes. Replying to the necro is continuation of the necro. Just PM the mod if you want to reply.

    If it's your story/quest... just reply to it as normal.

    If it's locked because NecroMongers being set on fire... just report the first post and request it to be unlocked.

    Yes, you can do that. I recommend writing it elsewhere and copy pasting when it’s ready. You can enter the threadmark title if it’s the next part, or you can go back and edit the post.

    This is a particular style of forum. The replies don’t get nested like they do in some types of forum. Shrug.

    You don’t even have to hit reply, you can just start typing into the box.
