Silverblade5 he/him Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) How long can we keep this thing from falling off the front page? Lets find out. Anything can be posted(within forum rules) as long as it includes a bump. If no bump is included, the poster will receive a bumpunishment. I'll explain more about that when it's actually needed. Let the bumping begin! Edited February 25, 2015 by Silverblade5
Left he/him Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 What exactly is a bump btw? I've never understood the concept.
Blaze1616 he/him Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 A bump is usually a post that only contains the word "bump," because by making said post you "bump" the thread back to the top of page 1 in the forum. Bump threads in other forums I've been a part of only exist to increase post count. That being said, I'm not sure if this thread in itself breaks forum rules. We have a topic for posting whatever you want, called Random Stuff, which would make this thread redundant. Also, this borders on Post Count Inflation, depending on how people treat it, though I'm not sure how heavily the mods police that. 1
Quiver he/him Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 We need to get Kobold to post here. If he posts a lot of nonsense that we don't upvote, his post count goes up. At the same time, his upvote:post ratio decreases. Eventually, his upvotes will be completely meaningless, and even though he has over nine thousand upvotes, they'll be worth less than a hundred. That's how upvote economics works, right? 6

It was this thing on another forum I'm a member of, so I thought I'd bring it here. If mods feel it's necessary, please delete.

If mods feel it's necessary, please delete. I wouldn't worry about it. If the thread breaks the rules to a degree the mods think it needs to be taken out of commission, they'll close the thread, so no biggie. I would suggest reviewing the site rules here. The moderation pantheon here at the 17th Shard are cool people, so don't sweat it; if it was a big deal they'd let you know. Oh, and bump.
