Title: For Moderators: My thread updates were deleted. Kindly let me know the reason. Post by: erikalui on May 21, 2018, 07:15:41 AM I update my threads on the Indian altcoin forum twice a week and I noticed my earlier updates have been deleted by the bitcointalk moderator. I don't get the reason as the are not bumps but updates and plus the time gap between the updates is 4 days and not even 24 hours. The Indian forum has no admin and hence I don't know whom to contact. Is it the new rule now to update threads only once and delete earlier updates? Kindly let me know.
Please only expecting moderator's reply. Title: Re: My thread updates were deleted Post by: WelshOnTheRoad on May 21, 2018, 07:22:44 AM Its always been a rule to delete old bumps. Updates can be edited into the OP. Separate updates can look like bumps which is likely why they were deleted.
Either edit your updates into the OP or the post underneath the OP. Title: Re: For Moderators: My thread updates were deleted. Kindly let me know the reason. Post by: TryNinja on May 21, 2018, 01:03:02 PM Updates are also limited to once per 24 hours. I don't see why would you need to create a new post every time instead of just editing your last one.
13. Bumps, "updates" are limited to once per 24 hours.[2] Title: Re: For Moderators: My thread updates were deleted. Kindly let me know the reason.

I also asked for a MODERATOR's reply ::) Updates are effectively bumps otherwise bumps would be disguised as updates instead. Its common for people to have updates/change logs below their OP. What's the problem with doing that? Moderator will likely tell you something similar. Title: Re: For Moderators: My thread updates were deleted. Kindly let me know the reason.

What's the problem with doing that? Moderator will likely tell you something similar. They are clearly updates The newest update does not cancel the old one, it is something different and provides information For example, Post no1 "The xxxcoin implemented the windows version wallet" post no2 "The xxxcoin will be listed in the xxx exchange in two days" And so on... How these kind of posts are consider to be bumps? I agree with OP and I think that they are real updates Title: Re: For Moderators: My thread updates were deleted. Kindly let me know the reason.

If your thread doesn't get any replies from someone that isn't you,it just comes off as spamming to a certain extent.Provided, you keep 'updating' it in regular intervals.I'm also curious who is handling reports for the Indian board.My assumptions however, tell me it must be hilariousandco.Please only expecting moderator's reply. You don't open a public thread which is not self-moderated and expect other members to not reply.More like, coach you on the rules.Title: Re: For Moderators: My thread updates were deleted.

In Badbear's own words.... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3629.msg5541656#msg5541656 Bumps are limited to once per day (24 hours), yes this includes "updates", that's what the edit button is for. Old bumps should be deleted as they serve no purpose, and only clutter up topics and make it more annoying to read. |
