"Necromancy is not allowed"
Ok, fine. We won't use it.
Link the thread you think we're trying to resurect. "Necromancy" or not, you're just being a hindrance unless you at least do us that one solid. Otherwise, it's just power flaunting.

So the thing about necroing dead posts is this: Depending on how long it takes us to notice a post is brought back to life, we might leave it or lock it again. We won't delete posts unless they're inappropriate and the reason we lock is because even though the conversation is done and old, it might still prove useful to someone somewhere down the line, plus when we delete something, we need to give the user reasons for the deletion. Since the posts don't violate any rules, we have no right to delete them.
If it's one post and it's off the front page by the time we catch it, there's no reason to lock it and then post about locking it so that it gets bumped back to the top, as that's counter-intuitive. If it's already close to the top, we'll make sure to lock and post about it. Does that make sense?
I'm not sure what you're asking or what the problem is.
If a post of yours got removed but the thread remains, the removal message should allow you to click on the removed comment to go to the thread it was removed from.
If the thread gets locked you can still see the thread and the pinned message giving the reason behind the lock.
