You actually bring about a good point.  Sometimes it is indeed pertinent to refresh an old thread, for the cause of showing one they made a false statement, or failed on a prediction.  A lot of how it is interpreted depends upon the tone in which it is carried out.  I can't speak for other mods, but as for myself, if I feel like the "pointing out" is done out of spite or malice, I'll likely view it negatively.  If it's done tactfully, in the friendly spirit of discussion, I'll likely see nothing wrong with it.

That is why there are 3 absolutes in the CoC, that WILL result in a permanent ban, and a lengthier list of things that MAY result in disciplinary actions.  As a staff, we try to always take steps to reach a peaceful resolution, and sometimes debate at length before handing down more serious actions.
