Longer no-post span

[The_Three-Armed_Man]

I think that the time to post something should be two weeks instead of one. Also, if you're gone for more than a week, you should be able to post on threads with their last post more than a week ago as long as the last post was while you were gone.

Well bumping is bumping even if you were gone so I think that should stay how it is.

And by the no-post span are you referring to a temporary ban or something else?

[The_Three-Armed_Man]

No, like if a topic is older than a week old you can't post in it unless you have new things to discuss or you have a really good reason.

[GuitarMangler]

Oh, stupid me.

I think that a week is usually enough time to declare that the topic isn't important/popular anymore. But maybe certain sections could have variations on the rules. One week seems pretty standard and it works for most forums, but I think this is actually a pretty good suggestion.

Anybody else have a say in this?

I believe there are exceptions to the rule but if it's just a useless post then it is still a bump after seven days.

I see it, later than 10 days is to far, unless;
A) It is being bumped with significant information, sufficient enough to continue discussion.
B) It's an animation/art/styk thread and is being bumped by an owner.
C) Almost all forum games.
D) A reason justified by the bumper.

Anyway, any more sufficient information to keep this topic going, or shall it be simply locked?

[Hoboapple]

no leave it open to be bumped

[JonesIndiana]

But what if like there is no topic above it and it is older than 7 days, does it matter then?

[GuitarMangler]

I don't see why it would.

[Chris]

I think as long as you follow my reasoning above, you should be fine bumping. Ima close the topic now.
