(Bump)

Occasionally, I see people who want their topic to be bumped back up to the top of the list of threads, and they post a message a bit like this:

Somebody wrote:

(bump)

Is this considered spam?

Re: (Bump)

I would say that it's spam if the topic is still on the first page. However, if the topic has fallen to the second page, then I don't think it's spam  smile

Agreed, maybe you've posted a topic, it gets some replies but after a day it's on the second page.
Then maybe you want more people's opinion and you "bump" it  smile

Re: (Bump)

I suppose it would depend on the content  smile

If it was a abandodned thread that only needed to exist for a little while eg: A notice and then you came along and bumped it then yes it would be spam  smile

But if it was a new thread that had some point but the forums became extremely active and fell off the page then I suppose it would be ok.

However it would probably be better to reply to the subject to push it up rather than to just post bump.

But we don't want necroposting.

Hmph enjoy your fall - I get a lovely spring... without pans of new leaves.

Re: (Bump)

What you could do is post something, and then delete your post, effectivly pushing it up without spamming its content.

I think if it's on the second page of inspiration & more or text based games it wouldn't be necroposing, but for the oher topics... i don't think so....

TheSaint does have a good idea though!
