Have bumping rules changed?

[Pmalek]

I have recently noticed that the moderators keep deleting the bumps I make in my own threads. It's been happening quite often and I would like to know why? Have the rules or the moderator's stance on bumping changed?

According to the rules, 1 bump per 24 hours is allowed. mprep also explains that bumps shouldn't be annoying and one should not bump 10 threads for example. I bump maybe 1 or 2, rarely 3 on the same day. All old bumps were deleted in my threads prior to the new bumps.

I made one bump yesterday and it got deleted.

Before that, I had bumps deleted on:
- July 15
- 2x on June 29
- 1 on June 15
- 1 on June 06

I would appreciate some more info so that I know why it's happening. I often see people bump their threads and I would like to know is it happening to them as well?

I would appreciate if the mod who deleted some or all of these bumps to tell me it's him so I can understand the bumping rules better. I thought I did already.

Was it definitely the most recent bump that was deleted - are you sure you deleted the old ones before posting it (that's the main thing I can think of). Maybe there was ambiguity as to whether something was a bump or a post too but both should be fine to keep if the bump came after 24 hours.

Not sure on which board your thread was; I assume your threads were not in "service" section.
In that case, I had the same situation as of you. I got some of my bump deleted when I did with some of my informative/guideline threads. Later, I realized it’s kinda self explanatory. Bump usually is used in service thread most of the times to get your service offering to the 1st page. But using the bump in other case is kinda weird which can be the reason unless you have updated the thread with some more information.
This is my personal view after I got some deleted bump.

I have one deleted bump like you described. If not one, it would be not more than two deleted bumps. Honestly, I felt weird for a moment.

So I guess it is a mistakenly handle from moderator. Anyway, it is not a big problem because I have 1 to 2 deleted bumps only. Moderators can handle it if they see it occasionally or if they receive report from forum members.

I don't believe the rule of bumping was changed recently. theymos did not write anything about that. The last update is two years ago.

Yes, I am usually careful with those things. I always do a CTRL+F "bump" search in my threads to make sure there isn't an old bump that was overlooked somewhere after bumping a thread. It has happened that I forgot to delete an old bump, in that case the mods delete the old one, but leave the most recent bump. But recently, my newest bumps are getting deleted. I have the feeling there is someone reporting bumps and they get deleted only if reported. But if that is the case, on what grounds are they being deleted if they are not against the rules of the forum?

Not sure on which board your thread was; I assume your threads were not in "service" section.

Nope, they were not in the services board. Meta, B&H, Bitcoin Discussion, Gambling...

So I guess it is a mistakenly handle from moderator. Anyway,

If it was 1 or maybe 2 bumps, I could consider it a mistake. 5, 6, or more, doesn't look like a mistake. I am not angry or anything, just want to see what has changed and based on what are my bumps deleted when I can see that others are not.

Did you edit the thread or edit something from your old bump or post?

This might be the reason why your posts are deleted.

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.

[Pmalek]

Did you edit the thread or edit something from your old bump or post?

No. I made no changes to the OP. Are you saying that bumps are and can be deleted if a thread is bumped without previously adding new information in the OP or any of the following posts that are essential to the OP? If that is the reason, I would understand that. But the rules don't say that a thread can't be bumped unless significant changes have been made to it.

[Upgrade00]

But the rules don't say that a thread can't be bumped unless significant changes have been made to it.

There have been no recent changes to the bump rules, so I doubt this is the case, bumps can be made without any change at all to the OP, I for one bump my service thread like that.
This case could be a mod misinterpreting the situation, it's rare for that to happen more than 4 or 5 times, but it is possible. Maybe the mod who took the action could respond here with the reason.

My guess is your Bump got deleted after several other posts were made. It served it's purpose, but it became pointless:

1. No zero or low value, pointless or uninteresting posts or threads.

It's not a bad thing, you didn't do anything wrong, the Mod didn't do anything wrong. It's just proper housekeeping

[examplens]

you should need to be careful. I saw many posts with only a "bump" in there, it may be considered as plagiarism.  I have seen some similar situations

I agree here with Loyce, bump is superfluous if someone already posted on the same day (24h) in the same thread. If anyone posted there, it is considered a natural bump.

You are right that it's not allowed to bump a thread in less than 24 hours. But Pmalek didn't do anything wrong. He bumped that thread while it was inactive for nearly 3 months.
LoyceV was referring to the posts others made after the bump, not the posts already made before the bump.

I don't think there is any rule saying that you must delete the bump after others post on the thread.
As stated by LoyceV, the bump was probably deleted because it was no longer needed.

My guess is your Bump got deleted after several other posts were made. It served it's purpose, but it became pointless:

1. No zero or low value, pointless or uninteresting posts or threads.

If you think about it, a bump itself is in direct conflict with the rule about low value and pointless posts, but they are still allowed. I don't think admins consider that rule when looking at bumps. But I think you are right when you said that admins delete bumps if several other posts were made in the thread that got bumped.

I did some searching and found several examples where bumps are missing (probably deleted by admins) after more users wrote in the thread following the bump.

A thread and bump by Ratimov is no longer there > https://ninjastic.space/post/57390542.

The quoted bump below is also not there anymore:

I would like to know if you can implement ERC20 tokens into am exchange?

I guess the mystery has been solved.

A bump has value, right until the moment someone else makes a post.

they are kind to you, because they pay extra attention to you spatially, you are attractive to them and think you have more potential talent, so attack the "mood" when creating new mounds.  good job...
let's show you better

[Pmalek]

I really don't need extra spatial attention. I have enough space as it is.

so attack the "mood" when creating new mounds.  good job...

I am not sure what you were trying to say with this statement of mood and mounds to be honest.
Anyways, LoyceV made some good points a few posts ago and he is probably right. Mods delete bumps once that same thread receives a few replies below the bump. A few other bumps I made after making this thread are still there, so everything is OK.
