What are the rules on bumping?
I always thought it was that you had to wait until it was on the second page OR wait for an hour after posting.
But the other day I was told off by a fellow poster, for bumping after 5 hours!? And was told I had to wait 24 hours!
What are the rules?

You should wait at LEAST 2 days, even if its off the main page long before, most people check 2 or 3 pages into each forum if they check at all. Dont bump at all if its not off the main page, not even if its there for a month(which it wont be).

The going time frame is about a day, and the rule is "AND on the second page", not OR. It's 24 hours generally, but no moderator I know really cares if the bump happens after about 22 or 23 hours, so long as it's been a decent amount of time there. Waiting even longer is better. 5 hours, however, is way too early. Lummox JR | |
