    that only works if i open the threads. i don't even do that cos i know what the posts say.

    Not if they are informative to the post in question

    Unlike starting useless threads

    ok, as an example - a user posted a thread in the wrong forum on 17/09. You come along on 06/10 telling them they've posted in the wrong place. You don't finish the job by PMing a BG.

    How is that helping anyone?

    It informs the OP of the post that they have posted in the wrong forum and directs them to the correct forum for any future posts they may make.

    If they are posts on expired threads it is totally pointless.

    It is just very pointless if the thread is more than a day old as OPs rarely revisit/change them so the correct action would be either to PM a BG (or the OP) or like all other users on the forum just ignore the post which will drop out of sight anyway.

    Butlins are strict on this too. One bump you get a warning, 2 bumps your banned form the dodgems for the rest of the day. Bit harsh.

    That seems like a good idea, one warning for a pointless bump then PPR'd, first time for a month then permanent if there is a repeat.

    For ease of reporting just need a button to be added like the spam one so the process is automatic.
