No matter how cleverly I bump my threads, they never reach hottopic. My most recent warning was also for Bumping improperly, too. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] x Foman123 x Wrong on both counts. Under your theory, an OP like you could keep a thread alive infinitely long even if nobody else were to ever respond to it. Any reply you make in a thread should be an on-topic reply to another user's post who posted after the last time that you did. This is the only rule of thumb we have ever given for bumping, and any post that is not within this guideline is most likely a bump. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Arbiter 739 CONTEXT: [quote]Warning Text: You have been sent a warning from x Foman123 x. This warning's text is below: A Bungie.net Forum Moderator has warned you for violating the code of conduct and/or rules of the forum in the thread below. Further violations will likely result in a ban. [url]http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=75724946[/url] Don't bump this thread anymore, please.[/quote] I know this is a minor thing, but I'd like to get it clarified. Now I was under the impression that: A) Replying to a thread within a reasonable timeframe (3hr, 11min in the first post) is acceptable. B) Replying to a "dead" thread with new information relevant to the topic is acceptable. What exactly did I do wrong here? I thought what I did here was perfectly ok.
