On Bumping Your Own Posts...within Minutes

[Sitka]

I have noticed several times in the last few days that some people will post a thread and then if they do not get a response within a few minutes (literally) will post again saying, "Hello" or "Anyone?" etc.

I certainly understand that it's hard to be patient, but please wait for responses. Bumping posts is against the rules, and I'm not sure it gets you more responses anyway.

Don't mean to rant, just something I've noticed.

Agree, or you could search. A lot of the topics honestly that are bumped get answered 3-4 times a day.. Maybe more, could be less depending on the activity of the forum that day.

sorry but i disagree! i rather them bump, than double post! Sure, post it in 3 sections

that drives me bonkers~

A shameless bump never hurt anyone!

well put. i think that it would take some work off of the moderaters if people used the search and didnt bump so much.

Missing the point lol, bumping after a few hours.. Alright.. But bumping while it is still on the recent pages only 2 minutes later was what they mean.

it is usually newbies who do it! they don't understand that the posts shuffle down and aren't always on the 1st page. But i rather them bump and be impaitent then post it in 3 different topic threads. Not saying it's right, got my point

Another thing that I have noticed is that in the ER section especially or the Predators section that people will express their sympathies, which is fine to a point. Some that come here are short on time and look for posts with little or no responses to so they can help. A post could have 10 or more replies but none that offer help and then get passed over by someone that could help because it looks like they are getting help.

Make sense?
