Well, title says it!! Even I have Got infractions for posting in Old threads when i was a Kid here Well, The main thing is, in related posts under the quick reply, most of what comes there are from Year 2008 and 07 or ages ago. So, it would be better if we get a notification on the thread, which would tell us like "This Thread Is Too Old, And You Might Be possibly Bumping it" Also, it would be better if old results would be differenciated from new results in the related threads somehow..! May be Some color changes or anything so!! Would be simple for Shawn!! Yet, this is just a suggestion towards a clean working atmosphere!! Thanks! ~ExP~
So, pretty much the same thing WHT has? I think Shawn tries to keep everything as simple as possible, and it's the user's responsibility to see how old the thread is. (Just my opinion)
WHT? Whats that? Well, Adding a Simple Notification would be better!! That was my suggestion!! Like Red Color bar in Marketplace Data Area, A Bar to notify that the Thread is So old, would be great! But its not a requirement! and thats why my post is in the suggestion group!! ~ExP~
Yep - I agree. Something like a red colored bar above or just above the quick reply that states that this thread is blah old and you might just be blah bumping this blah. XD Seriously, I really think this should be included and should be taken into consideration as well. This would prevent not only bumpers in the marketplace but all of these DP noobs around that bump threads even if they're already 3 year old threads! waaa! One example of this one is a very old thread about a member quitting his job - so years have passed since then and a member (undeniably a DP noob) then posts 3 years after stating that "GOOD LUCK IN QUITTING YOUR JOB". What the hell is that for? LOL Seriously, DP noobs are getting worse.
You don't get infractions for bumping old threads (unless you are on a mods hitlist) as long as your posts adds some value to it.
Try It!! Well, I think Mods may be Leaving You, showing some sympathy I hear you always run on 9 Infractions!! ~ExP~
Well it's not all about getting from infractions but should also serve as a guide for posters as well, especially DP noobs. Just check some of the threads in the GC of the Underground, you'll see what I mean. Old threads being revived with silly, spam posts.
