Yes, the search is not always user friendly. You can't put in every possible word it might be under and if faced with several hundred threads it's a bit daunting. But you say you tried and we'll believe you.

If you have something new and relevant to a topic it is not considered necromancy to add to an old thread. BUT both conditions must be fulfilled.

Hijacking will only occur if you start asking questions on a different topic in someone else's thread. Going off topic is a grey area. Often moderators let it go unless it gets too far from the supposed thread title.

Probably a question every poster should ask is WHY do I want to post this? If you want to ask a question, that is clear. If you want advice or to start a discussion, no problem.

Sometimes people start debates simply to show how clever they (think they) are. Such attempts are usually locked.

Your post is eminently sensible but I have two points.

What do you expect to get as responses? No debate is possible unless there is something to disagree with or a remark is controversial. I can't see anything in your post that is either. You are not asking for advice.

Perhaps you can use the edit button to make it clear what kind of replies you would like.

Secondly, if it is just your view and you are not after replies, it would have been better to add it in the thread Vaan refers to.

I won't lock it if you make clearer what you want from other forum members. Use the EDIT button on the first post.

BTW IMO it's worth setting the level at 100 from the start and never lowering it. Otherwise it is way too easy. I have just completed the last full game I shall play of MW. The werewolves are a problem but it can be done!
