    Bump our own threads 5 or 6 times within a few hours just to get people to comment on them? (When no one else is paying attention to that thread)

      Surely this is an issue about the content of threads - Sometimes I like poetry so I go to poetry, sometimes I like pure childish sexual innuendo if it is entertaining, so I go to theirishobserver like everyone else.

      so I would say that it is about staying out of threads you don't like and taking part in those you do. No ?

        Thanks Misha. This definitely is an issue bumping quality threads down




        Thank you. I do not need attention of people on the internet that I don't know. I get all the attention I need in real life. No need to start stupid threads for nothing. I just want the forums to be a place lacking all the clutter and B/S for lack of better words.

            Hi tantrum.  Don't you think that all members of Hubpages should be able to bring up a concern or make a suggestion without being told they should just go somewhere else?  It is obvious that if someone doesn't like it here, they could leave; it doesn't need to be stated.

            All of us contribute to the community in one way or another and to suggest that someone should leave just because they brought up a concern  is a little rigid, don't you think?

          Really now. The most I've ever seen is users get one maybe two bumps when no one else is talking. and then the thread is removed. In most cases, I've always just seen the threads removed. The forums I'm on are fairly big, as well, at least to the reptile community.

        Hi Misha. smile
        this "bumping", could it also be because the starter  really wants some input and since there are so very many threads started that most don't get to see all of them because they get bumped back several pages?  I like to go back sometimes to the last page of previous threads just to see what I may have missed.

        I post a lot but never really got into the politics of the forums. just wondering.

      Whitney05posted 14 years agoin reply to this

      Some people aren't interacting with anyone but themselves, which is the concern. A good conversation or debate with other people is one thing, but talking to oneself bc no one else is talking on that thread is another. Definitely spam or something.

    @TheIrishObserver, why you're getting this thread as entirely directed at you. To clear things of let me tell you that there are many other posters who are bumping threads as well. And If someone is turned off and is complaining about rapid thread bumping then so be it, they have right to do so just like you feel your right to bump threads. We all have our views and there is no wrong if someone is expressing it.

    If hubpages is allowing thread-bumping then most of people here should have no problem with it. But generally thread bumping like this way is not encouraged in forums.

    Alright if you feel that way, so how we are going to put end to this thread ? By chasing off thread starter and saying that point of thread starter is invalid ? I don't see that one worthy. Thread starters point remains valid that bumping threads this way is distracting even if people don't get into the thread, main forum index shows bumped threads at the top and this surely disturbs many people. If the bumps were reasonable then thread starters point is wrong but is that case here ?

    I don't see it as a big deal, but it is one reason why I personally have spent less time here.  Too much clutter to wade through. Some like it; others don't.  We're all entitled to our opinions and our own likes and dislikes.

    pretty panther - if you look at the fourth comment on page 2 of "what makes a good dog" thread, you will see I offered the hand of friendship, even though I was the one who was called stupid yesterday for no reason... smile

    We should be 'allowed' to do as many things as we possibly can.

    Things that we should not be allowed to do should be limited to things that will cause immediate physical harm to others.

    Being annoying to others isn't something that should be 'Banned', it is something grown ups should learn how to emotionally deal with.

      I agree with this, but owners of forums make rules all the time to keep the forums running smoothly, including banning certain types of posts.  It isn't unheard of for forum owners to not allow repeated bumping.  Whitney's suggestion wasn't whining, it was a valid suggestion and should be treated as such.

      I don't necessarily agree with it, but the reaction from some people here is just silly.

        Make rules?

        My two cents wasn't about calling someone a whiner or anything like that. I was merely attempting to state that I feel we already have too many rules that limit us. More rules, as a general rule, to me is a bad thing. Attempting to control people by creating more and more stricter rules doesn't work. The people that are being controlled just find better ways or other ways to get away with it....(i.e. the war on drugs, that use to be the war on alcohol and it didnt work then either)
