Thanks OutofFocus

My thread in 'What's on in East Dulwich' about this Friday's drinks seems to have disappeared? Any reason why?

[Administrator]

You "bumped up" your message which means it gets automatically deleted. I have put it at the top of the list in the What's On section.

[georgia]

Ok thanks and sorry - no more 'bumping' for me

Can I clarify, if I post a thread, then go and use the word "bump", it is deleted automatically?

[georgia]

It appears that way yes, according to the Terms of Use:

'The bumping up of messages to the top of the list with "bump" or similar vague messages is not allowed, messages/threads doing this maybe deleted without warning as it's not fair on other users'

I am not sure how the drinks threads will work now as I don't always have anything to say but just want to move the thread up. I guess they will just disappear from view.

There were 15 messages one day saying "bump" which took up half the listings page. Top Tip: add some new information to the thread and it will be fine.

[georgia]

Thanks for the tip - my point was that there is not always new info to add to some threads, but anyway.

I have to say that this rule seems a little pointless though, and is it really unfair to other users, as everyone can 'bump' up their threads if they wish to?

[Administrator]

I know what you are saying, but unfortunately there are some people who bumped their posts up once (or twice) a day and therefore the top 12 posts were bumped from the day before. Anyway there were a few complaints about it so the rule was brought in (it was not brought in to annoy people).
