Is anything going to be done about this?
Hopefully. My suggestion is to simply to press the "report to moderator" button any time you see a bump, and enter:
7. No needless thread “bumping†(replying to your own post to bring others attention to it)
(from the forum rules page at
http://pokerforum.ca/forum/index.php?topic=8617.msg75684#msg75684) in the box that pops up. If enough people do this, the moderator's will take action, either by warning/banning these bumps, or by modifying the rules to make them acceptable. Even if it's changing the rules (which would be annoying, since I hate these bumps) at least it would be clear to everyone what is allowed. But the current policy of ignoring a clear violation of the rules isn't acceptable (at least to me).
While an inconvenience, I'm going to start doing this and keep doing it until SOME action is taken. I realize and appreciate all the hard work our moderators (past and present) do, but this really needs to be dealt with. If it's a manpower issue with the mods, I'm sure there are enough annoyed people on here that they could find somebody else to help with the "ban hammer".
