[wp-forums] The "No Bumping" Rule - A Plea For Consistency

[Mika A Epstein]

To add on:

There's bumping and there's bumping...

Look, if you post every 5 minutes 'Help!' or 'Anyone?' then you are

a) annoying as all get out
b) removing yourself from the no-replies list (which yes, people use)
c) acting like a 5 year old

If it's that important? Hire someone.

You guys know the difference between bumping and legitimate bumps. The 
rule isn't for you Gary, it's for the silly people who don't get that it 
really doesn't help.
