Bumping threads

[Paulio]

I think that the rule about bumping threads should be tolerated a little more. You should be able to bump a thread if what you have to say is relevant to the thread. The reason I'm bringing this up is because a thread I replied in about Club Tropic got closed due to the fact it was bumped from a month ago. The information in thread was still relevent and people still have things to say about it.

I totally agree with this 100%!

New rule please

i missed u babe!!!

Yh i agree.

Well I have some sympathy with you here.

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.

I think essentially it applies to bumping your own thread without a good reason or after a long period of time. Replying to a thread is a bit different and members especially new ones may be interested in the topic and want to reply so I feel a time limit should be imposed in the rules so it is clear to the members.

The wording could be something like this:

B10.Please do not bump threads - It is not allowed for a thread starter to bump a thread. Simply wait for someone to reply instead. If the thread is more than two months old make a new thread instead. Threads where there has been no reply for two months are treated as 'dead'' and should not be replied to. The only exceptions to this are threads that have been stuck by management.

The two month time limit is just an example - this would have to be determind by the
senior management.

Thats good what you said Rosie, good idea

[jesus]

One month isn't that much, I'd class 'old' as at least 2-3 months so I don't think it should have been closed.

Just read Rosie's post and I think that's a great idea.

Yayy we finally agree on something!

A month is hardly ages =l

[Paulio]

Great idea Rosie. I think the time length you given is very good too.

I allow a bump if it adds something to the thread and the conversation is still relevant, if people complain I just edit saying "Bump justified because xyz." Its more a common sense thing than setting a strict time limit.

[Slowpoke]

People who bump threads pointlessly should receive a warning in my opinion because it causes disruption (like double posting). And I agree with Rosie, that's a great idea!
