On Over-bumping
-
i've been using that script that auto checks bumps post in the unread section https://forum.ripper.store/topic/12520/hide-and-auto-check-bump-posts-on-ripperstore-forum-script?_=1706302841326
takes a few minutes but even after sifting through most bump post i'm still left with just over 100 replies
not sure the bumping issue is something isolated to this site, i use F95 from time to time for vam stuff, though not nearly as much as here but if i did i could see my watch section being flooded with bump posts too. Though i usually just search for specific items there and get in and out. maybe the way we intereact with the site is the problem, autisitically checking every thread in case we miss something kek -
@SpookyVersace What? I am simply stating that the literal owner of this site recognizes it as an issue, but apparently the administrator that is supposedly moderating this site does not. That disparity seems very odd to me. No need to get hostile, I simply was inquiring, since it seems the obvious solution would be putting a rule in place, or preventing any user from bumping to a topic within a certain time frame. I have yet to see a poll done for this possibility. What can be harmed from preventing excess bumps? Certainly nothing of consequence? I'm just so confused why this has never been addressed, even though it seems like an obvious thing to keep control of. Idk, I haven't been here as long as some, and have stayed in the shadows, but I have noticed.
People have written scripts to get around this issue, does that not mean its a problem? Moreover, whats the benefit to not doing anything about it??

@Ashton-Peaches Stayed in the shadows, Prismatrism? You aren't very good at "staying in the shadows." Too bad you didn't change on this account and still want to just argue and be passive-aggressive.
@Rae Just stay patient and we will do something sooner or later ^^
We will work on something. It's not a forum-breaking issue, so no ETA.
-
@SpookyVersace I think if there were a bump button and or a thread to show bumped threads or popular bumps, maybe that could help. If not, at least I tossed my hat into the ring.
-
@SpookyVersace Yes, that persons account is one of the ones I am referring to. What are you saying? You literally encourage the downvoting of people off the platform. Are you really calling me prismatis, the same person? Wow.
This for one.
-
@Ashton-Peaches Pris... Don't act dumb.
-
@SpookyVersace The saga continues lol
-
@SpookyVersace Why are you attacking me for no reason? I am not prismatism. I've only been here for around 6 months. Why are you even on this discussion? I don't care about anyone else. I just want to be able to scan this forum without being bombarded by bumps. I agree with the author of this post. Is Rae prisma too?
-
Maybe an auto warning and/or a time out for when a comment is just containing “bump”? As much as id love for users to get their avis, I don’t think they’ll come across a soul who’ll give them the avi or asset they’re looking for just because it’s popular.
Rather, folks will search for assets they already own in the site then see if any users are actively looking for them.
-
what if it was a system that gave 2 "boosts" (12hr min is fine imo) to the thread and otherwise it's on a cooldown
I can understand the want for a filter, so maybe it could be something that's separate from the thread itself so it avoids clutter?
people should still be able to converse freely so maybe there can be a character minimum and the separate "boost" off to the side
I know people could still just keysmash but idk just throwing out ideas
-
maybe a way that active threads don't get buried would to have another box similar the Top Topics on the frontpage
and each thread would get a certain amount of time to be on it (maybe an hour or two) and it would rotate through the list of looking for threads and drop threads if they haven't been posted in for a long time (maybe a month)but there's probably too many thread being made for that system to get through one rotation.
-
@SpookyVersace Um, I'm right here. I'm flattered you still think of me though!
-
wouldn't be completely opposed to separating the booth and gumroad sides of the forum too - seems like its more of a problem from newbies/one side than the other though
though a minor issue, it is very frustrating to come back to over 100 pings and a good 80% of them aren't anything constructive, just bumps done by the same people - granted i know i can turn off watching posts and just manually check instead of "watching" posts to prevent this, it doesn't stop the issue from occuring
If I have the files for an avatar, I will post them. If I have posted them before, just DM me and I'll send you a new link.
Please only bump posts once a day if someone has already bumped it, unless you're showing interest in the post for the first time, you're just flooding notifications otherwise.

There's alot of people living diffrent lives, in diffrent time zones, and diffrent personality's & understandings, just because u go to bed and come back to 200+ noti isn't as big as a deal than u think it is. People want their stuff they are looking for to be seen, if your higher up, you have a higher chance at being seen. Some people might not be looking for the same things as then hence why they keep bumping their own post alot. You can also watch posts, search for them, etc so i don't, personally, see the problem here besides people complain just to complain when there's other ways to go around their problem. But who am I to say I'm just a "newbie". :3

@mur I mean, I think compartmentalizing the forum lends to better usability too. Separating Booth and Gumroad asset requests may indeed make it easier to navigate, by lessening the load on either, focusing only on an asset group you are interested in. Of course, I have made a lot of requests here in the past, and they haven't been received very well for various, unknown reasons.
-
@jackalrabbit I like your signature btw.
-
@PrIsMaTiSm Yeah no I totally get that, that's just upgrading, not taking away anything when u separate booth and non-booth avis!

I love how my posts are still getting downvoted
