Is bumping a thread up every few minutes breaking the rules?

  • Walt replied to this.

    Walt I have a problem with the 1 month necropost rule I usually don’t read the dates of when a comment is posted so I accidentally post a necro sometimes I feel like this would also affect many other new forumers who are still new to forums

      An occasional bump (every couple days) will probably be tolerated if you need to remind people of an unsolved problem you're having, but otherwise frequent bumping would fall under rule 4:

      Walt No Spamming or "post farming" - Do not spam threads or spam comments without constructively adding to the conversation.

        You won't be insta-banned for necroposting, but please get in the habit of checking dates before posting. You are also able to delete your own posts if you realize you've necroposted after-the-fact.

          Walt That sounds fair enough thank so for helping

            Walt is changing a quote so it looked like they said something else than what they said against the rules if it’s obvious they never said that

              Deliberately misrepresenting what someone else has said should definitely be against the rules. I have updated rule #1 to include that.

              I have another question.
              What if an off-topic thread has a little Cosmoteer related topic?

                Rifqi_Fajar_Zain That's to be expected on a Cosmoteer forum.

                            Walt Are other languages allowed since you can’t monitor foreign languages?

                              KrankysFirebrand48 Yes, languages other than English are fine. If you see someone breaking the rules in any language, please flag the post.
