About thread-bumping...

[artgirlb [a.k.a. Numbuh 138]]

I've noticed that about half the newbies that come here have a tendency to bump threads that haven't been posted in for at least a month and a half.

BUT...while it is discouraged, I noticed no rule about it in the forum rules (unless I accidentally missed that section)

Can we have a no-bumping rule? Or is that more like a guideline?

Yeah I noticed some new people bringing up topics around 8 months old. -__-

It's there, but in the large version of the forum rules.

I have a sneaking suspicion that most newbies don't even read the rules and do whatever they want.

Here it is:

(F) Posting threads on topics already covered by other threads excepting as follows:
(b) The existing thread is too old and hasn't had any activity in a while (a 'while' being defined as around two weeks).

I'll write a note in the KND Main section and sticky it.

*blush* That was me. I learned the rules the hard way. That is why I was such a spam-ish newbie.

But, yeah. Newbie's are bumping old, old threads, and bringing back things that are already done with. It's getting kind of... um... well, you know. Annoying.

Whoops! Guess I did miss that part ^^;

A note in KND Main sounds like a good idea
