The modified bumping system on some boards is a better model, but doesn't fit all boards.
Would it be possible to have a slightly modified bumping system for Services or other similar boards?
- Reason behind my request
[this is just my case, I can cite other examples as well]:
- I'm participating in a campaign that happens to use a bot for its counter and that bot literally counts everything [It isn't fair if I try to bump my threads].
- I prefer to not create another throwaway account with the sole purpose of bumping my threads.
I've been thinking that a more ideal solution would be:
I agree with all of them...
- Only allow one post in a thread to count toward post-counts per 24 hours, and perhaps hide/limit signatures in the excess posts as well, addressing purpose #3.
Since you're trying to prevent spam and most users that are part of it, happen to be a campaign
[signature] participant then you should also consider hiding these posts on "Show the last posts of this person." page...
- Without hiding it on the page that I mentioned, this will only work for campaigns that use bots to count posts or those so-called managers that only count posts [regardless of it being eligible or not] based on the number shown in our profiles.
IMHO, we need both of theymos and hosseinimr93's suggestions
[in order to see a significant change in results].
