Request rule change

[//Tom]

Well, it was a if I do it again i'll get refered to a super moderator.

The super moderator would then look at all the occasions you had bumped a thread, and if each one was justified they would just remind you of the rule yet again.

The rule is in place for a reason, in my opinion that thread did not need anything adding to it, hence why it had laid dormant for over a month.

Ok well im sorry, the thread was basically right at the top of the topic I didn't think to look at the date? I just replied.

There you go then, nothing will come of it, I was only doing what the moderator guide says, think yourself lucky, a year or two ago it would habe been an immediate infraction

I liked the idea someone mentioned of setting the forum to show threads from the past 2 weeks.

We didn't warn back then or even inform the member, just closed the thread with an edit and moved on.

Could swear my first ever infraction was for bumping...

Can't have been when I was a (super) moderator then, which was Sep 07 'till Feb 08. Was probably more likely to get something like that when they first started using the infractions system; when infractions didn't expire and a perm ban was about 4 or something.

Yupp I joined in the midst of infractions being brought in in replacement of user notes.

I wasn't around 07-08

Yeah thats what happened you see




Well I got warned for posting in an inactive thread but I was contributing something worthwhile to the discussion. So basically I got warned for nothing?

You got a pm reminder as you bumped a thread which was in the region of two months old when the limit is 14 days. You say youself it was inactive.:S

You may find it useful to check the date of the last post next time. You may have been contributing to the thread but that is a different rule altogether. Knowingly replying to a 'dead' topic after the time limit is against the rules so the moderator correctly sent you the pm and it wasn't for nothing. Thanks.

I see what you're saying, if forums are that inactive we should probably be doing something about it We'll probably merge that forum with the parent forum so that its a little more active.
