Project owners now posting in Altcoins Discussion and using bumping service.

[Avirunes]

Just clicked this thread and saw this guy announcing about his project here in Altcoin(Discussion) here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5189638.0

It also seems like the guy is using bumping service or maybe he is bumping it on his own since all replies till now are from Newbies created Today.

Newbie accounts nuked, and thread moved to the trashcan. Hopefully, we don't see this becoming a problem. In the process of sending a message to the OP regarding announcement threads, and the appropriate section.

@theymos What I'm wondering is if there's any effect on bumping score if its been posted in another section, and then is later moved to that section? Asking not for this specific occurrence, but in the future. Not sure if you would have considered this while coding the bump changes.

I think the bumping score start to be recorded from the moment the thread is moved to that section. All the previous comments/bumps are ignored.
This was explained in one other thread if I remember correctly.

No, every thread forum-wide has a bump score, with the same mechanism of operation everywhere. Moving doesn't affect it. The only per-section differences are UI-related:
 - "Bump" links are displayed in targeted sections.
 - The default ordering is different in targeted sections.

It's even possible by playing around with URLs to superbump any thread, but since the default ordering doesn't take this into account, it's pointless in non-targeted sections.

When a topic is moved, bump-wise it's as if the topic always existed in the destination section. There's no advantage to bumping in one section and then moving it to another.
