Presumably, a response contains some at least marginal information. "Bump Post" is *not* information, it is self-advertising, the equivalent of jumping up and down, waving your arms and yelling "Hey! Read This Thread! It is up high, so it must be great!"

If I start a thread, entitle it "Bump Posts", and then proceed to post "Bump Post" 150 times, it will be at the top of the list. Does that make it useful, by dint of being first?

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

? So who's on top?

dar512 · 04-05-2006, 10:37 AM

Arrrrgh. Can't resist.

No. Who's on first.

TiddyBaby · 04-05-2006, 10:38 AM

What was the question?

Oh, the ignore thing.

If I put myself on "ignore" will it constanstly keep me there by default, even if I click some button to turn off the ignore?

In other words, be I be on "ignore" automatically by default from no until the end of Y10K?

Cheyenne · 04-05-2006, 10:42 AM

no, who's on second

TiddyBaby · 04-05-2006, 10:42 AM

MR UnderToad!!

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

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.
