Threadromancy is completely legitimate if it is a thread such as this. It is a sackable offence if it is some guy selling a tegu or a large burm three years ago and someone posts with a 'R thes still avalabull?'......

You need to split your (excellent) new term in half

Apostrophobic - Someone who has no grasp at all of how apostrophes work and avoids them all together even when theres a legitimate need

Apostrophillic - Someone who alway's use's apostrophe's for word's that end in s


Cheers

Threadromancy is a play on "necromancy" - the practice of talking to/summoning the dead

Besides, most gravediggers don't dig up old dead bodies, they make places to bury new dead bodies.

How about

Depunct : Describing a user or a post that writes in run-on sentences with no commas or any other punctuation that would break up the flow of their stream of consciousness because that would be boring and make their writing easier to read and besides putting full stops and commas in posts is so HARD.

Or perhaps

Offtoposter: A user who is accorded undeserved respect in a given thread based on their post count or number of "gold stars"... until you realise that 75% + of their posts are in off-topic areas totally unrelated to the post at hand.
