Old thread bumping
Hi, i would like to bump an old thread of mine the only problem is its 5 yrs old and i don't wanna piss anyone off doing this. What's the forum etiquette in regards to bumping very old threads?
Is it ok to bump it or shall i make a brand new thread even though i will basically be asking the exact same thing again. I just wanna find out if anyone else can help fix a problem that is still relevant even now. It was never solved but hoping for some new input thx :fox: |

Re: Old thread bumping
I feel like this would not qualify as bumping. Bumping is posting a meaningless reply just to get more visibility for your topic. Adding relevant information(that may help others help you) is not bumping. Saying that the issue is not resolved 5 years later and you still need help is reasonable.
The purpose of this forum is to help people. The rules are there to prevent chaos, but in this case they prevent a user from asking a genuine question. I believe the primary mission of the forum is more important and the rules need to be applied in such a way that they do not interfere with it. There is clearly an oversight because a different person could post in your 5 years old topic and not break any rules. But since it is your topic, you can't which is silly in my humble opinion. |
Re: Old thread bumping
My main thought behind this was since 5 yrs have expired maybe there there were new members since joined the forum that could solve my problem that was all, a problem that still exists to this day. I was hoping for new input or maybe some person didn't even see my original thread but knows a solution.
Anyway it's fine i asked and i got my answer, i wanted to be sure to avoid breaking any rules that was my main concern. I'm not going to get involved in debates over it's right or wrong to bump a thread. Have a wonderful day everybody :D |
Re: Old thread bumping
out of topic,
there are just too many topics of "what title say", "I follow tutorial and I did everything...", but never mention which tutorial and what he did People, just tell more specific into 1st post. |

I have no idea why it was dropped but the 14 days bumping delay rule was perfect. |

In reality, the AlliedModders Rules isn't about your own personal opinions or feeling, or any other kind of notional things, but what is actually written there. Quote:

Because in reality, just because you don't (believe you) see any attention, it doesn't actually mean it isn't widely enforced, or that nothing is ever being done. Quote:
That kind of thing would just cause even more chaos. |

Secondly, you're being an ignorant, because this forum isn't just about SM. Judging by your title I don't know how much moderator privileges you have over the AMXX side, but what I do know is that you don't see nearly enough (if anything) for your point to stand. Quote:
And for once, if you were to get out of the little leecher world of yours and have a thread left unanswered, would you bump it in hopes of finding a solution to your problem? |
