Can we get some clarification on rule #7 from the Calgary Puck User Guildines?

The fata, while once was a fun thing for Calgary Puck, has become to have annoying affects here. People either want to fata somebody who starts a thread where somebody made a similar post on the 23rd page of another thread, or somebody brings up an old thread. I find it a waste of time to start to read a thread only to realize I'm reading year old, or months old material, and then I have to jump around until I find when the thread was bumped to read the most recent discussion. It is equally annoying to receive or see somebody get fata'd for starting a thread that is similar to one that ended several months or years ago.

What are the guidlines for how far back a person should search before he/she can safely post without getting fata'd and/or criticized for not looking for the proper thread. I thought several months should be ok, but it doesn't always appear to be that way.
