I'm not quite sure you understand the term 'bumping'
but look at post one it was a old thread that got no replys so he changes the
Title that a bump right

anyway: I still don't feel it's clear. Some are allowed to do it, even though it's pointless comments, and some aren't - that's all I'm saying. It's hard to know where members stand sometimes when there is disparity.

Full circle again and emphasising my point. If they still do generate interest again: where is the line drawn then?

This truly is an awful thread, Michael still cant seem to understand the concept of bumping a thread never mind the rules around it.

But seriously cant people just use their common sense with things like these, it's not hard to work out whether or not it's going to be appropiate to bump a thread

Its fine to bump a thread if there is a good reason for doing so.

Its NOT fine to bump threads for no good reason and then delete the bumping posts afterwards.

Its all about intent, not the actual bump

only post on an old thread if you have something useful to add. And DO NOT then delete your post. Really not hard to follow.

well the point was that thread was from this year i think but the thread in this post is very old
But the cher appreciation thread isnt being bumped for no reason though, People are still discussing her.

How can a pointless thread, as you have said yourself you feel a thread is: be allowed to be bumped - given that there that thread has been deemed pointless. :conf:

I find the rule is unclear and I'm still no further informed than I was way back from post one.

On a side note to Michael: the one thing I will say is: if you are bumping threads then deleting your posts - it's neither big nor clever. It's actually a very good way to antagonise and annoy people.
Because to ME the thread is pointless(assuming you are talking about aristas thread?). However other people may have interest in emma. he is bumping to let people know that shes on tv at that time. Very different to bumping a 1/2year old thread with just a smiley.

Boothy 07-08-2011 05:08 PM
Michael, serious question.

Do you know what bumping is?

michael21 07-08-2011 05:09 PM

Nope. You could bump a thread from 2002 if you had reason to do so.

I will use a news story as an example...say there was a murder case on back then and there was a discussion thread on it. And today it came out in the news that some of the evidence had been tampered with or whatever. It would be perfectly fine to bump the thread as you are adding info to it. What wuld not be fine, would be bumping that thread and adding something completely pointless such as ':sad:'

Bump(internet)

To bump a thread on an Internet forum is to post a reply to it purely in order to raise the thread's profile. This will typically return it to the top of the list of active thread

No, he replied to a relevant thread. If this thread was months old and was no longer relevant, that would be bumping.

Just stop bumping old threads for no good reason. And stop deleting your posts. I can't put it simpler than that.

It's called seeking clarification, and I don't see anything wrong in that. That's the point of this section of the forum is it not?
