Automate Early Bump Control - Topic

i say no, unless this is trade forum only.(havent voted yet)

I often have a thread in general help/chat/discussion, and i need to edit the first post, notice im too late, and dont want to wait 4 hours to let people know what i mean.

I put another post, write what i actually mean, and then add in that it was an edit, because i couldnt edit my first post.

can only apply to those forums where a bump timer is maintained because it needs to refer to that timer

125:118 (of the 118, 82 did not reply at all & 11 of the remainder did not read the post properly - makes it 125:25 really

When the thread creator posts/bumps, the Next Bump time is shown. It should be easy to determine if the last post was by the thread creator.
Rather then allowing to post before the bump time has expired the user should be send to a screen similar to flood control, stating that an illegal bump is attempted. (Perhaps even have a short time delay)
This should reduce the number of early bumps (hopefully) significantly and improve trading for those who follow the rules.

Please post arguments if do not agree.

I think this is a good idea, its similar to the +60 posts auto close thing, that is in the trading forums. Would be a good way to keep the spam down, and annoying early bumps, although it would cause several people to just repost the thread

No from me

You might have to post in your thread before the early bump limit expired because it's not a bump

I.e. "Requesting mediator", "Information (usn/pass) sent"

yeah agreed.
