For me, it was that the Internet never forgets and that you should never enter your real name. In my opinion, both of these rules are now completely ignored.

    some guy asking your question and being told to start a new thread instead.

    If it’s done within a reasonable time period, it’s understandable. Hours or a day or two later depending on the forum.

    It’s different when someone saunters in years later with the “I’ve got the same problem!” quip to a post that may or may not actually be the same, and actually expects a response. That, to me, is necroposting.
