You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

Which arguments are stale is necessarily a reflection of the current and prior discussion. You are, as others have noted, trying to obligate the mods to construct something for you to attack.

Or hey maybe it's just a vague lovely rule that he wants to see adopt concrete standards if it persists. Not everything relates to your weird bugbear about the Abusers Derailing the Discussion

The "stale argument" rule sucks because as it stands, there is little way to know in advance as a poster if your post will be deemed in violation because it's wholly determined by individual mod druthers, and as a result you cannot reliably self-police your posts unlike every other rule. The only truly reliable way to never violate this rule as constructed is to not post, which is discouraging discussion, which places the rules in violation of themselves
