[New Rule]

Posted by KaBob799 on July 12, 2010, 12:23 a.m.

Due to abuse of the activity feed I think it is necessary for a new rule:

Repeated bumping of blogs/games/news/etc which have not been commented on for over a week will result in a +1 warn unless there is sufficient reason for your comment.

Possible acceptable reasons:

A game has been updated

Posting a good amount of feedback on a game/example/etc

An update to an old conversation which is still relevant today

Unacceptable reasons:

Lol

I remembered this and decided to bump it

*stupid joke*

etc

There will be an option added sometime soon which will allow you to comment on older stuff without bumping it on the activity feed.

A week sounds a little too close but m'k.

Sorry if I some how started this O-o

Edit: oh ok, comment, more reasonable.

Well its a week since the last comment, not a week since the blog/whatever was created. I might switch it to 2 weeks later on.

Well,that was awfully fast.

Eh, I'm not really pissed about it or anything. It just detracts attention from the current blogs by knocking them off of the activity feed, which is supposed to attract attention. It's a lot like writing a short blog and frontpaging it, when it has nothing to say.

But yeah, if it's a noteworthy topic that has any relevance, sure, go for it.

…Is what I would say.

How about private feeds for users when a blog has aged?

How about: older stuff cannot be bumped. Period. I think that's the most reasonable.

Where stuff is 'old' when it's 2 weeks old.

I agree with the spirit of your proposal, KaBob, but "An update to an old conversation which is still relevant today" is way too vague.

Maybe y'could let users customize what/how things appears on their activity feed? Would that be possible?
