am I on your Ignore List?

Yes or No responses only.

xoxoxoBruce · 04-05-2006, 09:20 AM

Nobody is.

Humbug was on mine. Now no one is. Am I on yours?

When I read the Cellar, I use the "new post" feature. It automatically brings up all the threads with new posts. Obviously, I can't speak for everyone, but I've heard a lot of people mention that it's how they read the Cellar too.

Before the AGers came, I don't ever recall seeing a "bump" post to make a thread rise to the top here at the Cellar. It just isn't needed. I guess that it was helpful over at AG, but it's not needed here. It's a perfect example of a post that is of no value.

Flint, you can take this one.

Thanks Steve.

Yeah, but until then, I have to read your empty "bump" post to make it go away. You are creating more work for me.

That's true but a bump is not democracy, it's more akin to terrorism.

Every post is a bump - when you post, it bumps to the top. When you posted in this thread, it was a bump. That's the democracy part: you voted for this thread by posting, and bumping it.

xoxoxoBruce · 04-05-2006, 11:39 AM

Bullshit, they are not the same. Your semantics games won't fly. :p

Elspode · 04-05-2006, 11:48 AM

We could ask UT to change the prioritization of threads. If the determination of which posts are at the top of a given Cellar Category is based on, say, age of posts, then bumping would only be effective if it was done on a constant basis.

He just said that he's reading with the "All New Posts" function, not the thread-by-thread mode you were limited to with AG.

And why the ampersand foolishness? You may have noticed that vBulletin has a proper quote function for replies.

SteveBsjb · 04-05-2006, 10:07 AM

And who's to judge "value"? That's all I want to know.

Elspode · 04-05-2006, 10:10 AM

I would be interested in hearing a non-narcissistic argument in favor of bump posting. And...if we don't post, the thread drops down to nothingness, and that comprises democracy, then isn't bump posting to artificially elevate a post the equivalent of stuffing the ballot box?

Also, no one is on my Ignore List, either. Note the way I added content to the original intent of the thread, *and* stayed on topic by making this statement.
