Excessive thread bumping, it's getting beyond reasonable Options

Over the last few months, the level of "bumping", posting in a thread for no other reason than to return it to the top of the forum, has become somewhat excessive.


Initially it has been decided to restrict bumping of threads to once per hour, if someone has posted in the thread in the last hour, any further "non-content" posts will be warnable.


Please consider that bumping of threads is a positive-feedback mechanisim, if one person/alliance begins bumping excessively, others have to follow suit in order to keep their thread at the top of the stack. By cracking down on excessive bumping, we hope to reduce the overall level of bumping in this forum.

Afterall, I'm sure you'll all agree that your signup threads look better without page after page of threads saying nothing other than "bump".




All rule announcements will be in this thread.


Excessively bumped threads may be locked without warning.

After discussing the issue of gravedigging in this particular section of the forums with Senior staff and Admin, it will not be considered gravedigging to /bump a post up to a year, so long as the alliance in question still exists and this is not a duplicate thread.
