I don't think so, so if you post something, and after some days you've got some new info about it you wish to share, and nobody has replied to your previous post, people will never notice since your post has sunken away too deep =P RE: A better version by CookieRevised on 05-27-2004 at 03:49 PM
quote:It is not allowed because it is considered spam, rude and can be use to bump threads and let them stay "on top" forever... If people were interested in the thread, they will check again from time to time. So, bumping threads isn't allowed either (especially not after only a few days)!

You say that if people are interested in the topic they will try find it again. Then what if they wan't online when the topic was new and in the top of the forums? Should they look through the last pages to see if there was anything like my topic? This is mu fourth post and it might be the last. Cause this is just way too stupid. Thanks to the ones who are on my side RE: A better version by CookieRevised on 05-27-2004 at 05:16 PM
Well, I'm sorry, but that is just the way it is. If everybody bumps threads, then there is no point in bumping the thread because it wont be on the top anyways because other bumped threads will be on top. RE: A better version by felixen on 05-27-2004 at 05:20 PM On many forum people are allowed to bump a topic if there is a reason for it. If people can't bump a topic on page 3, should they make a new topic about the exact same thing? In my eyes that would be spamming more than this is RE: [split] A better version by CookieRevised on 05-27-2004 at 05:32 PM
You said so yourself, IF there is a good reason, and in my experience, there is very rarly a good reason... and bumping a thread that is only a few hours old or a day is never a good reason, if you wish to bump a thread then at least wait a couple of days, and only when your new info is very very important and vital, and only then, you may bump it without being told that doubleposting isn't allowed...

When I wish to add things in a thread and my post is the last one made, I just post the information in that latest post again, with my added information, and delete the previous post after I posted it. RE: [split] A better version by lhunath on 05-27-2004 at 06:27 PM

if you have a genuine reason to bump a thread, like you're expecting an important reply, then there's no reason why not to. |
