Make Bumping Impossible?

[Purple]

Is there a way to have threads closed after the 7 days? Because I posted in a thread approximately 1 hour after the 7 day deadline and got warned in a PM to not bump threads. Maybe MOD's can lock the threads? Because it's kind of annoying when a warning comes to hours/minutes. If you don't want bumping after 7 days.. Lock it? :)

Thanks!

I never look at how long ago thread were made so maybe it would be made easyer not to close them but only ofc if it is automatic otherwise they would have to go round closing a hell of a lot of threads ;)

If they made it automatic then yeh maybe that's a good idea.

Becuase some people don't look at dates/time it was posted like me,
I posted in the articles (I think) or something section and there was only a very short list of threads so I posted in one of them and then got a warning and -15 rep :@

If it's an automatic close after a certain time - Yes.
If the MOD's have to go around closing them - No, It'll be too much work for them.

Yeah, it would be a good idea if it locked itsself somehoe or mabey have someone for just closeing old threads.

Im sure that the threads in the welcome close there self after a certain amount of time...not sure though :P

No, sometimes you need to bump and update threads instead of creating new threads and losing the discussions that were in the previous ones. There's no point closing them at all. If you bump and you have a valid reason to do so then I'm sure the thread will stay open and you won't be punished.

There is no set amount of days to not bump a thread, it all depends on the subject the thread relates to. If it is short term, bumping a thread could mean 3 days after the last post, while a long term subject could be bumpable after a month depending if the thread maker is partaking in an event and can't given a conclusion on the matter after the event has passed. In most cases, people getting told off for bumping should not of been told off in the first place... What thread was this?

It would take way too long to go around closing all the threads lol, like already said some can be posted in after a while has passed.

You shouldnt of got warned for posting after 7 days, its normally 14 days :S

[Plank]

You shouldn't have got warned for that. The limit is 10 days not 7 days.

"B10. Do not bump threads - It is not allowed to bump up a thread. Simply wait for someone to reply instead. If the thread is old, make a new thread instead. You can reply to an inactive thread as long as the last post was made less than or exactly 10 days ago."

[Scarcely]

I got caught out for this...
Although, luckily ,jess, reversed my warning :)
Thank you.

Tell me about it, it's awfull getting a warning for being a minute late.

nothin wrong with bumping threads, no other forums bother with it but this one's obviously too strict

[Digital]

This is a totally pointless rule :| What if you have valuable information to add to the thread?

[jesus]

yeah, its not harming anyone

If they didn't have a limit then people would be bumping loads of really old/out of date threads and it would become annoying.

I think I read somewhere that you are allowed to bump some threads with the permission of a super moderator/admin first. Or just make a new one.

it would phase out after a while

no other forums mind :S

I haven't read the thread but whatever. On another forum if a thread has been inactive for x amount of days, it'll lock itself automatically. That could be useful here. I don't know if it's a hack or whatever though.

... Why? People have self control... If people are doing it for the pure reason to annoy, then Habbox should save themselves the time and pointless number of rules, and create one singular rule that revolves around Do not annoy. Loads of rules could come under that, and there are some rules which should come under other rules too e.g. Speaking in a foreign language goes under pointless posting (because afterall, posting in a foreign language which the majority won't understand IS pointless).

Indeed this is true, no that those words are unfiltered, no-one cares :D There was a few months of people going crazy saying piss and ***** everywhere, but it seems to have died out. Now all we need is the 4 letter D word for penis unfiltered and the forum will be on the right track :D

Maybe it'd be an idea to ammend that so it says "over 10 days old, unless on the first page" or something similar which would avoid that situation in relatively inactive forums.
