Rule on bumping posts?

happycat — Tue, 18 Jun 2019 19:08:26 GMT

Is there a rule on bumping posts from over a year ago? I thought we weren't suppose to do it.

It's my understanding it's against the community standards.

Wow I did not know it was against community standards. That seems a little ridiculous IMO.

I'm sure some people are doing a search online from something when they come across a post on QVC that they reply to. Since they are probably not familiar to the boards they don't notice the date of the post.

I have noticed the older posts here & there with the most recent reply from a new poster.

I don't know what the time limit is, but bumping is not allowed.

Responding to an old thread, trying to restore the conversation

by way of positive or even negative means.

Thanks. I’ve never heard of this expression before.

Well, there was a thread of the fashion forum bashing Susan Graver. And I get that she isn't everyones piece of cake.

Someone who looked like a new poster had bumped it up, being over a year old, just to contribute her dislike of Susan Graver.

I think that is ridiculous, honestly.

I didn't know it was against Community Standards but I always wondered why a poster would do that. What do they get out of resurrecting something from the dark ages?

Makes me mad to be took in by this ruse. I'll respond, then, see where the thread is back from 2017 or 2018. Makes me livid. Should delete all this old ****. I always post OLD THREAD or turn in to Mods

@chrystaltree

Sometimes I think that they do it because it is their way of thumbing their nose at the mods, and laughing at them.

They think that they are getting away with breaking the rules.

Especially when it's a "new" poster and it's their "first" post.

I'm not buying the bs that it was an "accident".
