Reading rules to understand, and obey rules will help to reduce probability of posts deleted, temporary ban, or more seriously permanent ban.
Rules:Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQBumping changes on some boardsFAQsUpdates through posts considered as bump. Updating posts are likely deleted or merged by moderators. So, please be careful with your updating posts.
Q: Where the idea of bump button come from? A: It came from
community generated suggestions to improve the forum (+ eventual voting on them). It takes theymos' attention, and after around one year, he brings it to life.
An example: a bump button sounds good as a fix for certain very visible problems, but it also codifies a broken system. People would use bots to bump all of their threads constantly, giving "industrial" posters a huge advantage over casual posters. A captcha could maybe help a little, but there are services where you can pay a tiny fee to have captchas solved for you. (Which opens another question: maybe a comparatively tiny fee should be allowed as an alternative to having you solve a captcha.) A better solution would be to replace the concept of traditional bumping with something quite different, with different bumping models for different types of sections. But that requires further thought. If implementing a bump button was free, perhaps it'd be worthwhile to at least do it for now and fix a few minor problems with bumping today. But since it's a clearly-imperfect solution, this isn't even on my miles-long to-do list.
Q: Why my posts deleted?A: There are many reasons, in the topic, I only mentioned about reasons relate to bumping.
13. Bumps, "updates" are limited to once per 24 hours.[2]
21. Old bumps should be deleted. [2]
22. Advertising (this includes mining pools, gambling services, exchanges, shops, etc.) in others threads' is no longer allowed, including, but not limited to, in altcoin announcement threads. [8]
Besides those reasons, there is another common reason, that is "Updates" posts. Updates considered as bumping posts, and OPs should use edit button rather than Post button to do updates for threads.
4. 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.
There are so many threads that asked for reasons of posts deleted. If you search, you will see them, with bumping is one of most common reasons, besides off-topic, non-sense, pointless posts.
Q: I don't think my posts should be considered as bumping ones?A: Forum staffs have their rights to do their own rule interpretation for each case and context. If they consider your posts are bumping ones, they are mostly right.
23. When deciding if a user has broken the rules, the staff have the right to follow their interpretation of the rules.[e]
Q: Please help, forum staffs merged my original posts into one, without details on timepoints, contexts when and where I made orignal posts, that makes merged posts look like trash.A: Don't put your posts under risks of mandatory merging by moderators. They don't have time to edit your merged posts, so please don't complain and do your responsibility better when you make posts or updates.
Since 11th September 2019, there are changes on Bumping, that currently applied for three boards with
Bump button (in Red color) at the top right corner of each thread.
- Service Announcements
- Announcements (Altcoins)
- Tokens (Altcoins)
- Bounties (Altcoins)
- More boards might be added later, includes Digital goods, and local boards if moderators send request to theymos.
Bumping changes on some boards or (just for now) you can visit the topic of admin by given link in
news area (after logging in), but I am not sure how long it will be displayed in news area
News: If you like a topic and you see an orange "bump" link, click it. More info.
It is a bit complicated, but if you are not bumper, you are fine with those changes.
I made a graph to fully understand what this means. With 1 Super bump per day, it takes a couple of months to stabilize to a certain Super bump power.
Just a thought: New topics still show up on top, so I can imagine someone creating the same topic every day, while archiving the last one.
