I was wondering if many people are making threads about the same question, how should I choose which one(s) to answer and what to do with the rest?
I think it's important to answer them all because it might be that people are tracking threads they made themselves and aren't seeing threads made by others about the same thing to see answer to their question.

Many people wanted to know when ladder reset would be and I thought I answered to them informatively with link to source where information was found:

Diablo II Ladder Reset March 28 - Blizzard
While our original poll for reset length showed a little less than 150 people wanted a reset every year, our most recent follow up poll had over 1,000 votes for 6 months: http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=27800569877&sid=3000

We've heard you, so this is a one week warning that the Diablo II ladder will reset next Monday, March 28. We generally prefer to provide a two week warning for the case of resets, but to hit the exact 6 month mark we feel one week is sufficient this time.

We anticipate all Diablo II realms to be down for approximately six hours during the reset. More specific information on realm availability on the day of the reset will be posted in the Battle.net Status forum. When the ladder is reset all existing ladder characters will be converted to non-ladder. All characters and items being converted to non-ladder will remain intact, but once converted these characters will no longer have access to ladder content such as creating ladder-only rune words. For more information on ladder characters please visit the Arreat Summit Realm Character Types page.

And this is what I got:

It's called gravedigging. You don't need to response to those old topics, since the answer has already been posted. (No matter how much more detailed your answer is)

As far as I can see your just repeating the same thing over and over again, you could have just linked to the origonal topic. thus the mod who warned you marking it as spam.
However if you feel your warn was unjust kindly PM Hapycmpr and explain to him.

Never heard this term before.
Well, you learn something new every day.

I did post link to previous thread before last reset and moderator told me not to.
PM'ing moderators is useless if you haven't donated to this site.

If someone already answerd the one who asked the question then your post is spam if to be honest.
He already got his answer and your information does not help him and he dont need it anymore.

So people will be happy if someone just answers to their question by guessing the answer and giving more information about the issue is spam?

yes and no, but what you did was post ** days later thus implimenting what iDGames said, you was gravedigging therefore spamming.

That is not true, there are mods I know who are real friendly and will help you as much as they can.

Furthermore, the only person who can give you a definate answer is a mod, which brings us back to my post. PM Hapycmpr if you think your warn was unjust.

Answer only if you have a more detailed response, than other people, that may have answered the question.
I only answer on one of each question, of the same type.

Wasn't my answer more detailed than responses of other people?

Some of them are, yes.
I know already that hapycmr will most likely just say same things that have already told here, so I think PM'ing will be useless waste of time for both of us.

This is purely arbitrary by some mods, showing once again their double standarts.
Maybe try to pm this guy here: http://forums.d2jsp.org/user.php?i=110138
but i doubt, that sth will be done.
