Why don't people like threads being bumped?

Luckyone

This exactly I'm sure steam comes out the top of my head when this happens!

All it needs is one person saying I'ts not working. Then one more person to say it's working now

How hard is that to understand!

I really do not want to read 10 ways to say it's not working

yes, sites like the ITV sites are often down when I attempt to enter first time. Rather than add 'not working' to the thread, I just bookmark and retry later - it often works then! It is all about using your 'nog' or your 'loaf' lol

Or use your bonce, your nut, your noggin! LOL Now I have just spat my tea all over LOL!

It annoyed me when I started because i couldnt remember whether i had already dine them or not, but once I realised I could order by newest thread and use the Red Cross/green ticks it doesn't bother me at all.

I don't usually get annoyed by bumps, but the ones that do vex me are when people reply to say "entered, thanks" or "great comp" - as has been said above, if I've green ticked a comp and then it returns to the top, I always check it again to make sure there isn't a change in terms or something, and it's infuriating when it's just a remark to the effect that someone has entered it!!!! That's what the ticks and the thanks buttons are for!!

Re rules on bumping I'd note the first post on here: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/...ad.php?t=24817

8. No Bumping Of Posts. Please do not just bump posts for the sake of it. This disrupts the boards.

I can see how it does bother people but on the other hand I often feel discouraged from making a light-hearted comment or joking about a comp post because I know many would be annoyed. It detracts from the enjoyment of the forum for me sometimes feeling I can't reply for fear of offending the masses.
