I swear I remember when you couldn't double post on your thread or bump before 24 hours.	narexa Offline Divine Boarder Posts: 8287 Thanks received: 4844 Karma: 252

Seriously though, I agree that people constantly "bumping" their posts shouldn't be allowed however I would imagine this rules would be quite harsh to impose and people would just bump by saying like "that's for the feedback "name."

As much as I agree, I don't feel this is plausible.

Anything is possible, because as I stated that this could easily be enforced underneath the TOU listed as "Be Patient" Someone who bumps their application nearly every few hours clearly isn't being patient, and I see no good reason for anyone to be allowed to bump repeatedly.

I haven't heard nor seen anything listed as such, or I'm sure @Raeker of all people would of made me aware of it, and since he hasn't, I doubt there is such a thing.

This hasn't be a thing since the past year I've been staff. Though I have to add that I don't think such a rule is necessary either. Unconstructive posting (that "bumping" falls under) isn't allowed, so bumping a post too much will result in a forum ban. How much can be considered "too much" is up to the forum staff member, and I do believe some leniency is required.

Silly suggestion its not even a big problem and if people are doing it unnecessarily it usually just gets locked.	Denis Offline Diamond Boarder Posts: 2810 Thanks received: 1365 Karma: -49

While I do agree that a rule might be unnecessary, I would like to see a little bit more presence and attention when it comes to repeatedly bumping of ones post, because while someone people might say "It's not a problem." They clearly don't care enough or read the posts that have this problem. When I go through someone's application, and their application hasn't even been up from for more than two days, I shouldn't have to see that 9 of the replies are from them bumping every few hours, and even during the forums "Busiest" times, it still isn't required to bump it as often as people do it.

All I can ask is for any and all forum members that when they see someone unnecessarily bumping a post to inform the user that this can get them banned. Obviously this should be the forum staff's job, but we can't be on every post at all times I'm afraid.
