The rule is necessary, but addressing the wrong issue. Posting on an old thread is harmless, but posting on an irrelevant thread or posting something which is irrelevant to the thread is not.

Spam of any kind should be a punishable offense, posting on an old topic is not a problem AS LONG as it's a relevant post.
