I've heard this complaint a lot. Should we punish users that bump threads? I think the appropriate punishment is.....
1st Offence 5 to 10 Warning Points.
2nd Offence 20 warning points
3rd Offence Banned.

This would only apply to bumps made after this is passed.
Reminder 60 Warning Points is a Ban.

This is up to LPSG users. You decide. Yes or no?

Doing this would change nothing, all you get is a bunch of “omg he’s hot” or “update”, “anything new”. Makes no difference, I truly think it’s the fact that ppl are just annoyed at the word
What if I replaced "bump" with a self-deprecating comment? :joy:

It depends on how soon the bump is
for instance if the thread is new and someone bumps it after after what under 10 minutes after it was created then a warning should be issued,

BUT if the bump was after what 2 or 3 days minimum I think someone bumping the thread is fair enough

then treat them the same as bump and penalize too

Agreed. Sometimes threads get lost in the shuffle and a bump every now and then isn't bad for visibility. It's when it happens multiple times within a day that it becomes annoying.

While "Bump" can be annoying, banning for using it is pretty extreme and too big brotherish.

How does it get enforced? Bump, bumpety, dump, and a host of other variations are used including just quoting a previous post and adding nothing. It would be difficult to script which means someone either has to report it or a moderator has a big job.

How about just having some posting guidelines with things like
- don't bump threads without adding content within 48 hours of the last post
- no name calling
- no fighting (such as the endless fights over cut vs uncut that derail threads)
- other stuff

Then if someone abuses the guidelines they can be reported.

you can "watch" the thread... and if someone posts something you'll get notified ...and if someone has something specific they want to post they can search for it...
bumps are annoying cause people don't really do it every now and again but you can't really regulate it in my opinion

Maybe a better solution would be to warn people that just writes “bump” for the sake of bringing a thread to the first page of the forum, even though the thread is pretty active. There’re several threads that I follow that are active one or twice a month because it’s about people that aren’t that well known, so bumping the thread makes it easier to other users to find it and it prevents new members to start a new thread on someone that already has one.

Lpsg is a site of both discussion and sharing content such as pictures and videos. If someone wants tu bump a thread, the least they can do is try to make a comment that can start a healthy discussion on said thread, and not just bumping for the sake of bumping. Also, can we get a better moderation on the cut vs uncut arguments? It invades a lot of threads and in many cases it ends up on racial rants and calling people names.
