Strange rules on this forum!!!

Well, I'm having some troubles with this forum, Some of my threads are been closed without reason, I have contacted moderators and got no answer.

The rules says: "Blatant and deliberate attempts to bump your thread to the top of the list with comments like (but not limited to) "bump", "up", "still available", etc. will result in the thread either being closed or deleted without notice! You may be warned at first, but repeated offenses may be treated differently."

In every forum that I have seen in all my life you can "BUMP" your topic in 24 hours, every forum. But in this forum if you do this your thread is closed, and "without notice". Bump one thread in more that 24 hours is not a "Blatant and deliberate attempts to bump my thread", in every forum this rule means that you can't bump the thread in less than 24 hours. If this forum is different of all the others forums in the world you need to specify this.
Sincerally, I can't believe that I paid for this.

Thanks for nothing...

Clearly this forum is not for you since you cannot follow the rules.

You can reply to your thread with a price reduction (10% or more) and/or with an update and you're allowed three (3) during the life of the thread.

Once you get used to it, it's not so bad plus it helps minimize the number of posts so it's easier to get caught up on the ones you missed and for others to notice your post.

... and your response to me here in PM shows your arrogance.

"Every forum allow "bump" in more than 24 hours, every forum, every. I posted "still available" after 24 hours, so is not a Blatant and deliberate attempt to bump my thread to the top. I waited the 24 hours, so, my "still available" is inside the rules. If your forum is different of all other forums you must specify this in the rules.
Sorry but I'm inside the rules and I will bump my threads."

Brilliant! Goes on to relate how this forum is different, quotes a rule, and then exclaims if this forum is different, then you need to specify it. Brilliant!

Quotes the rule and then tells how this forum is different...and yet says the difference needs to be specified. Brilliant

My suggestion is to go to those other forums that you believe are so wonderful.

"Sorry but I'm inside the rules and I will bump my threads."

This is his best line.

Ha! That's tellin ya!

I'm not arrogant, I just try to follow the rules, but this rule is not clear. The "bump rules" is one of the most basic rules on forums, if your thread has no answer you are allowed to "bump" your thread, even if you dont have an update or a change to make, if this forum don't allows you must specify this.
Is not specified in your rules that I cant bump my threads, just says that I cant make blatant and deliberate "bumps", what means that I can bump my topics, but don't says "when". The rule should be:

"You are not allowed to bump your thread to the top of the list with comments like (but not limited to) "bump", "up", "still available", etc."

And your best line is "You may not bump a thread for 7 days.", where do you read this rule?

Sorry but I'm just telling my point of view.

[Gerry]

Seriously, I have not been part of too many forums but the ones I have been part of (and not limited to domains) prohibited bumping.

And, seriously...do you bother to read the very words you are typing?

Is not specified in your rules that I cant bump my threads, just says that I cant make blatant and deliberate "bumps", what means that I can bump my topics.

Obrigado.

Sorry, my english is bad but I think you can understand what I'm trying to say. If you create one thread and in some hours you "bump" your thread, this is a blatant and deliberate bump. But if you create one thread and in one or 2 days you bump your thread, this is not a blatant and deliberate bump. IMHO

[randomo]

if you create one thread and in one or 2 days you bump your thread, this is not a blatant and deliberate bump. IMHO

As you say, that is your opinion. I'm glad this forum has a different opinion, so that we are not just seeing the same bumped threads over and over. (Before that rule was made, some members bumped all of their threads every day or two; what a mess.)

[DaddyHalbucks]

Der rules.. are der rules.

If you don't like them, setup yer own tent in the desert.

[Johnn]

You can create a thread here and one from the other forum (whatever the forums that you mentioned) . Then go to other forum to BUMP if it makes you feel better.

Bump






Btw, where the heck are the rules? Can't seem to find the link but pretty sure there is something about bumping.

[itoones]

Der rules.. are der rules.

I agree, rules are rules, but this rule is incomplete. Each one can interpret this rule in one way, one thing can be "blatant and deliberate" to one guy and not for another guy. Who decides this? If I create a thread and "bump" 5 days after it will be "blatant and deliberate"? and if I "bump" in a month?

[silentg]

bumps like "bump, still available, up..." are "blatant and deliberate". You get 3 bumps and use it wisely. Why would you want to bump a month old thread? If it's month old and name hasn't been sold then you should take the hint that no one is interested.

It's just a illustration, the admin told me that I can "bump" one thread after 7 days, but this is not described in the rules. And maybe a sale can last more than months because you are waiting one better offer, but this is not the point. And I bump my threads because maybe somebody that dont came in the forum yesterday can come today, it happens all the time.

[katherine]

The bumps are annoying anyway, unless there is a relevant update like a reduction in price or current offer.

[Tia Wood]

I am glad that bumping is not allowed here. I've been to another forum that does allow bumping. It's utterly useless.



itoones, your attitude toward Adam (DotComGod) is disgusting.
