"Bump topic" option - Page 2 4d4cf31a-99f5-49dc-8afb-ceee9d445cc5.jpg

Or so help me God I will start a bump war that you will remember in your bones

'No' to what, Kitten? You seem upset.

No to bumping

by Alexandra Sat Oct 20, 2012 12:26 am

I think it'll be useful.

For all the times I've posted something in notice and it got swallowed up and I didn't want to just post 'bump', or for all the times I've done major updates to a profile and hate posting 'bump' so people see it.

I'm assuming you think it's going to be abused, right?

It will be abused... and if it does I will unleash hell

Oh. It won't. Not by anyone who wants to stay a member of the board.

Of course, if bots start using it we'll have to go through the whole rigamarole of creating a 'verified' user group.

'Verified'? How that works?

And how will you draw a line between what is abuse and what is not?

Because I totally see some people... who I would not mention... bumping over every minor change or fight finished.

I could see it being useful only for Roster updates, which are otherwise buried, and notice board stuff.

Discussion threads die a natural death, no need for it there,

Matches don't really need it either.

Don't we have a "follow thread" feature that alerts us when a new post has been made? Makes bumping the thread unneeded?

Maybe Bumping would not be such a bad idea in the roster area... it will bury all the characters of people that never play

by Alexandra Sat Oct 20, 2012 12:52 am

You wouldn't bump a profile just to bury old ones or just for the sake of bumping it. THAT would be abuse.

You'd bump a profile for if you did a major update to it; i.e. rewriting major parts of it or adding major additions to it.
