Noob Saibot 38 Report post Posted August 18, 2010 I feel the need to complain about this complaining of people bumping topics. First off YOU can't bump a topic YOU DID NOT START. I know this because when you enter someone elses topic the BUMP button does not appear. This is clearly people Necro Posting (which would bump a topic as a new post appeared in it). And for the status UPDATES I have read...very imature! If you see an issue or problem (ecpescially if your STAFF) you need to get a hold of someone who can fix it or look into the matter by doing the following: 1) Creating a topic in this very forum (feedback). 2) PM an Administrator Taking matters into your own hands (member or Mod) and shouting in the status update WILL not solve anything and makes the site look as if its full of imature people who can't go about the correct way with dealing with issues that arise on the forum or site. This place has a proccess for such issues, try and use them. The status update is not one of them and even if you did use it, what you write should be geared toward the staff who can fix it: Hey Marked I think someones abussing the BUMP topic feature, please look into it. not: STOP BUMPING TOPICS!!! Because as I already stated you can't bump someone elses topic. Only the creature of the topic can. Bottom line here and lesson to be learned: 1) Research--- by entering someone elses topic you would have noticed you can't bump it! 2) The Source--- use the feedback forum. this is a prime example of why it it here. 3) If you wish to report an issue using the STATUS UPDATE, be respectful and DONT order people to do stuff. Especially if you don't know the actual issue (person or error causing it). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I did read it and this topic has nothing to do with what he is doing about it. I was pointing out to people the following: 1) A person who did not start the topic can not BUMP it. 2) People had no reason to SHOUT in the STATUS UPDATE to random people about bumping topics as they clearly did not see if it was even possiable to bump someone elses topic. 3) It looked more like people NECRO POSTING then bumping. 4) There are sections on the community that should be used instead of shouting it in the status update. 5) If you use the status update to inform staff of issues it should be direct and none of this, "STOP BUMPING TOPICS." 6) Such stuff (example in #5) makes the community look as if we can't deal or handle issues on the forum in a more camly manner.

Kiriashi 117 Report post Posted August 19, 2010 I know, I was just mentioning it to inform you/others just in case you didn't know. You have made a good point. Listen to him you guys. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FranklinX 37 Report post Posted August 19, 2010 I don't think our active members are doing this. This is out of their characters. I think the people or person who is doing this is a lurker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marked 197 Report post Posted August 19, 2010 Lets just see how the bumping goes with the new permission settings... The only real issue I have is members replying to the topics. It's pretty annoying, I've deleted the ones I've seen. But then again I suppose it can only be expected. At least we know the bump system is effective, it just has to be used right. As for the status updates, there really arn't any rules since they're relatively new. I'm not going to say what they can and can't say, but fair enough some things are annoying.

Noob Saibot 38 Report post Posted August 19, 2010 I know, I was just mentioning it to inform you/others just in case you didn't know. Okay, not a problem. I don't think our active members are doing this. This is out of their characters. I think the people or person who is doing this is a lurker. Well if it was guest or some new user they still would not be able to bump a topic made by a guest or member. It had to be clear and simply necro posting or an issue with the New Posts or Bump system and I doubt it was the last of the two as no reports have been made for this MOD which has been out for quite some time. Lets just see how the bumping goes with the new permission settings... Why did you open it to all in the first place? Seems odd and kind of pointless, but to each their own. The only real issue I have is members replying to the topics. It's pretty annoying, I've deleted the ones I've seen. But then again I suppose it can only be expected. At least we know the bump system is effective, it just has to be used right. Well when I enter a topic I always read a few posts and check post dates, but that's just me. It happens. As for the status updates, there really arn't any rules since they're relatively new. I'm not going to say what they can and can't say, but fair enough some things are annoying. It's not a matter of rules, but commen sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marked 197 Report post Posted August 19, 2010 Why did you open it to all in the first place? Seems odd and kind of pointless, but to each their own. Yes, I suppose I was rushing. I wouldn't have given the permission to guests if I had seen the option originally, so yes it would have been pointless if I intended it. Well when I enter a topic I always read a few posts and check post dates, but that's just me. It happens. Some of them know its a necro-post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
