- Bumping thread - Bumping is when you reply to your own thread with the sole purpose of bumping it to the top of the forum. Also, a worthless reply to old threads can also be considered bumping.

Hope that helps

 

That thread also explains every infraction, well writtin out

 

Good point - If you BUMP - you get infracted

So OP - its a good idea to read that thread as well ~

 

From the thread posted about infractions, I thought I share with everyone my thoughts.

- Duplicate thread - If you create a thread about a subject that is already being discussed in another thread, you may receive an infraction.

If the posts are pages apart, I think it's quite hard to go through all of the threads before posting isn't it? Or on a different topic someone mentions the same thing IE General marketing or General business, wouldn't be tough to avoid this one way or the other?

- Bumping thread - Bumping is when you reply to your own thread with the sole purpose of bumping it to the top of the forum. Also, a worthless reply to old threads can also be considered bumping.

This is something that caused me an infraction recently, I did the same as the guy above me has taken the service that's similar. I am not sure by telling others that I'm watchful to see my own result of the service is bumping of the thread?

I just think we should all kinda get a pretty good idea of the game rules so we know them more specifically before getting hammered.

 

AHAaaaa i saw other people doing it - and I have been on other forums and they exactly that " bump" - I did not realise that it was against the regs

Thanks for all the input - now i understand

 

If I reply to this thread after 5 months, that would be a bump!
