If someone dares post in a review thread that's older than 30 days they get moderated immediately but apparently this tedious bullshit is an exception.

#12 - In our review forums, be mindful of the 'maturity' of threads you are posting to, ie. the date of the last item posted. We ask that you refrain from posting to a review in which the last post was made 30 or more days ago. Some exceptions may apply if you are providing relevant, valuable or updated information about the provider, but as a general rule of thumb, this can best be accomplished by writing a new review altogether and avoiding the bumping of old ones. This applies to our review forums, in particular, as discussion threads are often allowed to flow for an unspecified length of time.
There are many examples of threads that are much older than this one and still get posts from time to time. But if the moderation staff decides it is too old, I’m sure it will get locked in short order. As far as I know there’s no forum guideline about tedious bullshit, however.
