When you make a post, don't expect immediate responses. When you make a poll, don't expect 50 votes in ten minutes. Learn to wait. Patience is a virtue, they say, and in cases like this, that cannot be more true. So next time you make a post or poll, and it's been five minutes with no response, don't go bumping your thread back up to the top. There is a reason no one has responded to your post.

I like it, when after not recieving a reply, they tell everyone the classic:

-blam!- all you -blam!- -blam!-s, you all suck.

EDIT: Oh my, I found some new words that need to be filtered.

That's a good point. I typed in some random things about a laser war, and it wasnt recieved too well. The next time I looked at it- it had 50 pages of replies. Now its locked. Wah wah wah.
And it is also possible that you had a good idea and people overlooked it. In this case, your life sucks. So don't bump your thread- malevolently work it into other discussions.

And something else I would like to point out (even though the Rip Saw did so already) is that bumping is adding a reply to a post to put it at the top of list- so people will see it longer. I unkowningly did that when I was new here, and it was a little shameful to get my first thread locked right away. You'll note nowhere in Shishka's flood rules is bumping explained to those who do not know what it is yet.

[color=crimson]People. You need to vote. I need more closure than this.[/color]

[color=crimson]I posted this in my "Spring Water" thread, and it inadvertently attracted more people to vote. The difference is.. I don't call it a bump, merely a morale booster. ;][/color]

It wasn't my idea to make this forum. Well, maybe it was (I really can't remember, I was for making it though), but I certainly never said completely stupid topics should be posted. Who the hell wants to know how good your best fart was? Really now..

[color=crimson]You said you wanted it to be the place for spam and off-topic threads, what did you expect?! Really, now! Be glad it's off-topic only.[/color]

[color=crimson]Haha. Someone with a fart fetish?[/color]

At the time, spam meant chapter ads. We have a forum specifically for that now. I think the Flood needs a good cleansing. Yoozel should go Naz you-know-what on it. I've always wanted to see what happens when Yoozel becomes a hard-ass about stuff.
