yeah3346 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 is there any reason or do you moderators just want to use your powers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted February 7, 2019 Moderators Share Posted February 7, 2019 Because it's an empty post, it's annoying, it clutters the forum and the poster thinks that the thread is more important than all the others. Bad manners in other words. If a thread gets no response, then that's just how it is.

Moderators mta Posted February 7, 2019 Moderators Share Posted February 7, 2019 I see, you have made another account to complain about your previous ban. (actually against forum rules) here's an idea, instead of simply saying "bump" why not be a little more helpful and explain your own situation instead of jumping on someone else's thread and your first post and intro to the forums being bump. so let's start again... go back to the Speccy thread and add your own thoughts to the discussion. it may help members help you and may provide some useful Google search results down the track for others with a similar problem. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

Moderators Augeas Posted February 7, 2019 Moderators Share Posted February 7, 2019 I can't remember the original username or the thread that was bumped, but Username5340958 (who is also banned) posted 'Just got banned by mta for saying "bump"'. I wouldn't say that bumping is a banning offence here, maybe a mild admonition and the bump deleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted February 7, 2019 Moderators Share Posted February 7, 2019 Moved to The Lounge since the complaint has nothing to do with CCleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators mta Posted February 10, 2019 Moderators Share Posted February 10, 2019 if you want to move on and remove the chip from your shoulder, maybe we can address your problem. All I'm seeing (again) is useless posts that add nothing to the conversation.

Just ignore people if you don't find them worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted February 12, 2019 Moderators Share Posted February 12, 2019 OK, let's step back a little and wrap this up. Yeah3346, you can post anything relevant to this forum as you wish, subject to the same rules as everyone, which I try to interpret (and don't always succeed) as don't post anything you wouldn't say face to face. Nobody holds any grudges and in a few days I for one will have forgotten your username or what you posted. I think that we all appreciate that the original banning for bumping was harsh, so in future the quite rare bumps will just be deleted. I'll close this thread now, enough has been said.
