Bumping changes on some boards

[Timelord2067]

It would appear almost nobody has caught on to the new bump feature, or else their bumps are not very powerful.

The new system catering for a "bump" seems to have badly affected the sock-puppets and paid shills business.

Six days later my one bump has put SexCoin in poll position for the last ten or twelve hours:

Thinking about an issue here. There are new posts coming in all the time into altcoin announcements that are virus / malware. With the default sort as of now they get buried for the most part. Then can get reported and removed with little exposure. (I hope). However, if I go in and post in big red letters. Don't download it's malware the topic gets bumped way up.

So, do I setup an alt account to do it or not post in the thread or???

Just food for thought.

I'd go for reporting in the malware report thread; and then report the post adding a link to your post in the thread while posting nothing to avoid getting it bumped

That is what I do report & post.
But, looking here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5182222.msg54529552#msg54529552 I reported and posted close to 3 hours ago,  The OP of the malware thread has it moderated so he keeps removing the DON'T DOWNLOAD MALWARE posts that people make.

I just do not want to keep bumping these threads when I post not to download.
Will probably just create an alt that has no bumping power and do it that way.

If a thread is buried under many pages of threads, how much traffic do you think it would get in the span of a few hours?

You can give it a negative rating to warn others. You should also be including evidence of malware such as a malwarbytes report if you aren’t already.

Was the bump button removed?

I dont see it anymore

Was the bump button removed?

No, it's still there.

I dont see it anymore 

Did you bump so many topics that your super bump power is less than 0.001 now?
See:

The exact contribution is b*(1-0.15*^s/_b), where b is your base power and s is the total you've contributed to bump scores via super bumps over the last 30 days.

And:

You won't be allowed to superbump if you would contribute less than 0.001 bump score.

Are you looking on the correct boards? Have you bumped the thread within the last 24 hours?

The bump link will disappear for 24 hours on that specific thread after you click it, and obviously it's only visible on the 4 boards that have this feature. Plus what LoyceV said.

[criptix]

Gotcha, thanks guys.

Didnt know it would disappear then.

I'm not sure if there's been a discussion about this before, but whether it can be a disabled bump for locked topics? If someone locks topic if it has fulfilled its purpose, they no need to stay up anymore. Also, this is used a lot when user offering something and lock topic avoiding any further discussion of his service/announcement...
I don't think they deserve to be near to the top.

For example (I hold this to ignore)

Read the post below.
actmyname suggested applying "negative bump" to locked threads.

What if we applied a "negative bump" to all locked threads in the Altcoin boards? If a thread is locked, then there it must have fizzled out of relevance and thereby requires no further discussion. Why else would you lock it, after all? (Self-moderated threads can be used for clearing spam)

[LoyceV]

Bumping (pun intended) with a request:

The same should apply to the whole Marketplace board.

[LoyceV]

I don't particularly object to making the approximate bump scores or bump powers public, but I didn't do this yet.

Can you share some statistics on how often the Super bumps are used?

Can you share some statistics on how often the Super bumps are used?

In the past 30 days, there have been 397 super-bumps from 57 distinct users contributing 11355 bump-power. Over the same period, the total bump-power from both mini-bumps and super-bumps was 88127.

In the past 365 days, there have been 8850 super-bumps from 308 distinct users contributing 222971 bump-power. Over the same period, the total bump-power from both mini-bumps and super-bumps was 1041245.

That's 12.88% Super bumps.

That's 22.41% Super bumps.

Thanks for sharing statistics. The results surprised me, I would have expected the Super bumps to contribute more than the Mini bumps.

After reading your post, I realized that the stats I gave were highly misleading because mini-bumps occur (and super-bumps are possible by playing with URLs) across the entire forum, but they only have practical effect on certain boards, and the stats I gave previously were global. Restricting it to only the boards where modified-bump-ordering is default, it's:
30 days: 12901 super bump-power out of 13492 total bump-power
365 days: 220802 super bump-power out of 232874 total bump-power

30 days: 12901 super bump-power out of 13492 total bump-power
365 days: 220802 super bump-power out of 232874 total bump-power

Thanks for the correction. Now it's 95.62% and 94.82% Super bumps, which is more in line with my expectations. It also shows that bumps from posting are very small compared to bumps from clicking the bump button.
