bumps?

[Chaosy]

hey, I noticed a while ago that posting and then deleteing the comment will still bump the thread while still not spamming posts.

Is this allowed for bumping before the 48 hours?

 

[I3lackDeath]

Oooooooh, a potential loop hole. Why did you have to disclose it? >_>
If you generalize the rule as "it is /forbidden/ to bump your thread within 48 hours", the method you describe is included.

Then again, people used to bump their threads within a period of 48 hours and nobody seemed to care (despite it being forbidden, because the rule explicitly states that it may only be done after 48 hours, ergo on the third day).
Also, people usually disregarded the following:

You may not submit one or more posts after you've posted (double-post, triple-post, quadruple-post...).

I have seen several threads where people bumped several times (abiding the 48 hours rule, though).

A matter of interpretation? Of who keeps an eye on these matters? Perhaps these rules are more like 'guidelines' after all?

Let's see what the ladies of the Police Department have to say.

Well, in most cases, it would not be noticed. So ^^'

I do that, it is the only way I actually bump. I see no problem with it though.
I only bump if I have any relevant information and I delete the last post and add to it in the new one.
Bumping just for the sake of bumping on the other hand...
I actually consider deleting old "bump" and replacing it to be more "ethical" than subsequent bumping even if it is 48 hours apart, simply because it has the same effect but I don't cheaply up my post count by 1.

 

[Chaosy]

I mean people who just write "bump", then just delete that post and it's bump'ed.
However the question is, is that allowing within the 48 hours since you are not really posting something if you delete it

 

[Adiktuz]

I used to do that alot but Rui told me that it is still under the 48 hour rule... + a negative rep...

 

[sonofjay]

I only bump my thread if its really just something important but well.. most users here just bump their threads with no important information or something.

 

[Ralle]

This is a technical loop hole, but not a loophole in the rules. Please don't use this. If we catch you use this repeatedly, we may have to take action.

 

[Adiktuz]

^ yeah, like how Rui -rep'd me...

 

[Statharas]

Personally, if it was up to me, and it was in the WEHZ, I'd let it go once or twice due to unanswered questions. But really, it shouldn't be done.

If I want something bad,
I use da hippo bump.

(Such poetry!)

I don't usually bump threads but when I do,
I use hippo bump

One does not simply
bumps a thread without using the hippo bump

I only bump my thread if its really just something important but well.. most users here just bump their threads with no important information or something.

Seconded, i do the same, a little different:
I just don't obey to the 48 hours rule, i obey it half, i only wait 24 hours
and i only bump my thread just to update some information and sometimes when i said something wrong that should be repaired very fast

I think one time, one of death is my name or almia told me that i was reported for spamming xD, it was the first time i bumped


@ the thread now, this isn't very important if the user has a REAL reason for it, not just to "bump", in that case, he should be warned like Adiktuz

 

[Ragon.Slear]

Uh uh
Its me, its me
The bumper..
I like to bump every hours

 

[neo_sluf]

Well i can only suggest that instead of writing bump you can write

When the last post of Page 1 is added, page 2 opens up, having no posts, redirects to the last page containing posts.

 

[Daffa]

Yes, it's Hive posts bug.

 

[Ivandassassin]

Since they're not the law, Internet forum rules are always guidelines, usually for the better of the website. Exceptions are made when a staff doesn't grasp that notion and/or enforces them to extremes, out of zealousness, naiveness... or interest.
