Translation bounty requirements and bumping [rules 21, 32]

[Arrrvin]

Hello,

On this forum I mostly post in the Dutch section as a bounty translator for projects.

When translating an announcement or bounty thread the bounty rules usually require to update that thread with news messages.

This morning I got 19 private messages in my inbox by Bitcoin Forum.

The messages say that posts by me were deleted because they broke either rule 21 or 32. [See: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0] These rules say:

21. Old bumps should be deleted.
32. Posting multiple posts in a row (excluding bumps and reserved posts by the thread starter) is not allowed.

In fact my posts were not deleted but they were merged together into one post. The thread in which this occurred: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5142459.20 Remarkably some news messages were merged and other stayed untouched.

Could someone elucidate how the forum rules on bumping threads should be interpreted for translators?

Possibilities I see:

1) Translators posting unique news messages in their own posted thread fall under the exception as mentioned under rule 32 and should thus not be removed / merged.

2) Translators are not allowed to bump their translated threads with multiple news messages in a row.

I would opt for interpretation 1. In that case the moderator made a mistake by merging / deleting my messages.

In case of interpretation 2: Should bounty managers then eliminate the requirement to update translated threads with news messages because it is against the forum rules?

Can someone give me clarity on this so I know how to handle this in the future?

Thanks!

Can you read this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1713126.0 on your local section in regard to your case seems that might get you the answer on your issue.

What I see is that the issue is from case no. 2 and to be honest the forum can't decide for that. The problem will mostly be solved between the translator and the bounty manager that will adhere to the forum rule in regards to bump. Maybe some kind of agreement to not allowed multiple news messages in a row over translated works.

You are only allowed to bump your threads every 24 hours according to the rules. Don't make 2 or more separate posts in the space of a 24 hour period.
I am not sure what the rules of those campaigns are but you probably don't need to bump it every day. Try to do it every 2-3 days and I think you should be fine. Even now you have separate posts written on the same day like on July 17, July 12, July 5 and maybe more.

I understand now.

13. Bumps, "updates" are limited to once per 24 hours.

Thanks to the both of you!
