deloriagod Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Maybe it's just me, but I get tired of seeing topics that haven't been posted in for over a week suddenly job to the top of the first page. And when I go to see what's new, all I find is "Bump". No. That's just stupid. I think something needs to be done about people bumping their topics to the top of the first page for no apparent reason. We have a search feature so if somebody decides they have something to contribute to the thread they can run a quick search and find the appropriate place to post. We don't need the same topics being renewed week after week. Internet Marketing For Newbies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSBDavid Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I agree 100%! I also hate seeing a topic made about something then it gets to the bottom of the page, then another person makes a topic about the same hing that was just answered.

dsavi Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Bumping can be necessary, but it is otherwise frowned upon. There is no way to stop it, if you include all options that are reasonable. For example, a warn or ban for a bump is just ridiculous. As has been said before, if it doesn't contribute to the thread, the thread in question is locked.

pryomancer Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 If someone persistently bumps topics without good reason, they will be warned. If it does continue and they are blatantly disregarding a moderator's wishes, then I'd have no problem with a ban for a few days. I think the current stance on bumping is fine. It's not like we have a horde of ancient topics being bumped up from the depths of the latter pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripsis Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Pointless bumping is already against the rules. If you see it, you can report it ;) (except in designated areas like Clan Recruitment, in which case it must be done in moderation) - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 As tripsis said we don't like pointless bumping. Bumping an older thread with decent/valuable discussion is generally allowed however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infi Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I haven't seen people that have been bumping for a while. If you just cross the path of these bumpers, they'll just take a little more time in making a better excuse for bringing their thread up :P 99 Hits, Attack, Strength, Defence, Mage, Summoning, Slayer, Ranged, 96/99 Prayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
