Bumping topics
Bumping topics is allowed, however use common sense and follow a few basic rules (listed below) whenever bumping a topic.
- Only bump topics if there’s been no activity within the last 24 hours. Nobody likes reading a topic, and seeing the last 5 comments being ‘bump bump bump’ posts all posted the same day. This is considered spam and can have a negative impact on your topic.
- Whenever bumping, try to provide information that is worth reading. Don’t just write things like: “daily bump post”. That gets annoying very quickly for visitors. Instead, try to include things like:
- Latest community news. Anything important that has happened within your community that’s worth sharing?
- Progress updates. What are you actively working on within your community that people can look forward to in the (near) future.
- Screenshots/media. No I don’t mean dumping your screenshots folder in a post and making the post 5 million lines long so people have to hold the ‘page down’ key for 5 minutes to reach the bottom, but post a few screenshots showing off specific features about your community. This can also include videos or other media assets.
