Post Bumping....

[FVCK.YOU]

I myself am getting tired of posts years old being bumped up and people replying to them. I hope the mods will consider this and enforce it stronger.

Straight from the rules:
Old Topics (Threads)
Topics that are over a week old are considered to be dead. Please do not post in them. This is considered to be "Thread Bumping" and we will lock any threads which are bumped to the top for no good reason. The only acception would be if your reply was on topic to the post and added to the discussion. Other than that, please leave old threads

Normally most of the time the post is on topic, but that doesn't mean post on every old thread, otherwise we will have to close them. The rule should be changed to no matter what the reason they shouldn't be posted on though. I hear what you're saying but the mods have no control over the rules, we just enforce them. If they aren't on topic then we will close them, though.

Could you enforce an accepted way of posting that isn't a law? Eh?

Anyhow, I *HATE* when some ***** comes and resurrects a 9 month old post that starts a new controversy. Then, that ***** is never to be heard of again. We should Temp ban those *****'s for at least 4 years.

 

[tassadar920]

the moderators (well i did when i was a mod anyways) normally 'warn' people who do this, and let the post slide.

Kao just cause a newb comes a long and ressurects something, doesn't mean he needs to be temp banned, while a mod this is what I sent to people who bumped:

SUBJECT: warning
BODY: This is a warning about the post (link) which was bumped. (if they're a newbie i let em off easier than longer term ppl) Since I believe you probably know the rules, and hopefully have read them, you will notice that posting in a post, older than 10 days is thread bumping.... blah blah blah..

bump

yeah my first post was a bump. i didn't know that was something i shouldn't have done. i did a search on google and it gave me a forum page and so i registered and then posted on that thread i didn't know i wasn't supposed to, i personally am glad i didn't get banned for four years.

 

[Bolt Head]

Well insane clown some people don't realize that.

 

[-MatriX-]

It's now becoming more common for that to happen, and somehow we need to let people know before they register that you shouldn't do that before it's too late. Don't know how though...

Its out of your control Mathix you would have to talk to an administrator about it.

Is the occanal accident really that bad?

 

[InsaneClownGod]

at first the way i was responded to, "nice bump" and "yeah i agree", i thought people were happy with me....

i have figured out since then that that is not the case.

 

[FVCK.YOU]

The rules should be included in an Agreement Terms when you sign up.

 

[Moof-Ader]

that would make it ezier for all of the newbs 2 be aware of the rulez and then it wont happen as often, but it also could be a watse of time because not every1 reads the agreement terms when they sign up.

 

[Bolt Head]

Do you know for a fact if they are or not? did you actually read them?

 

[Moof-Ader]

i read them but i was just sayin that on sum other things like games i just push i agree and then move on, but not these kinds of things.

what on earth does this have to do with UMS maps? this belongs in chit chat. read the lables please(!!!)

-Matrix- and I make the forum rules here.
We can modify that bumping thread rule if we strongly feel like it.
But the UMS forum is basically a "I need help, Please Help me" forum. So we don't really believe in being strict on the Thread bumping rule.

Rule on Posting threads in the right forum:
This is a bad example of one.
New battleforums are not going to see this and say Ohhhh, I shouldn't bump any more threads.
They register and ignore all the other threads and then they bump a thread.
So posting a thread telling them to stop thread bumping is not the right way to go.
If you strongly feel something should be changed here, pm -Matrix- or I and we can work soemthing out.
Now I can't think of a good forum to move this to, so I'll leave this thread here for a day and then move it to the void.

Lmfao this kid cracks me up. Dude please read the rules. Read about post bumping, it's a problem here in the UMS Forums, I believe you brought up a year old post too if my memory serves me correctly, since no one reads the rules except for the people who care about these forums.

 

[Moof-Ader]

i agree wit fvck u.this is a problem sumtimes but i havent seen it a problem since ive been here.
