As long as its not enabled for hack support forum, all the other forums its fine. Doesnt really seem to bother me any, but I don't know about others.

This features installs a permanent bug, that considers every second post a duplicate, regardless of the content or context. I've presented 2 real cases, and there's a lot more, where the action taken is a bug, since the posts where neither bumps, nor duplicates. You don't need to punish everyone for the annoyance of the few. Punish members who bump, since the forum rules clearly stated that they should not do it. |

I like the system and I have no want or need for it to be changed. 5 members is not alot, look at the other threads here. |

The members who don't want it are usually the ones giving support and try to help newbies with their issues or invistigate problems. |

How about enabling it only in the problem forums, say hack requests and paid services. (Hack requests still contain some interesting discussions about requirements or enhancements) Or at least disabling in how-to's, premium hacks and hack questions. Quote:

I will go on record as saying I don't like the feature as it is implemented and it can be improved. It creates detrimental effects on the purpose of running a discussion board which is discussion. Simple merging based on time is wrong and disrupts conversations and their flow. To much of this and they become meaningless. In my opinion, anything that uses technology to limit human interaction is wrong and shouldn't be done. The whole point of a site like this is human interaction. |

While I agree, on the other hand it allows the mods to spend more time watching over the community and less time removing and warning people for bumping. Just having a 'no bump' rule doesn't work, lets be honest how often does someone check the rules page anyway?
I think we need to look into changing this hack some as you guys have already mentioned. I do like the idea of a filter to check for common 'bump' posts, but keep in mind this won't catch everything and people that really want to bump will eventally figure out how to get around it. Email notification can be improved (al la 'a reply was posted but was merged with a pior post due to auto bumping' in the email). |
