Hey y'all.
I put this in the group chat on Battlelog, but I'll also put it here for good measure.

We have to take it easy on the bumps on our recruitment thread.


Starting with the post on the 16th, at 9:42

That was a pure bump, and I waited for 5-6 hours to reply, making another bump.

Then, James comes out of the blue, bumping the thread after only 2 hours (only one thread got above ours in the mean time), making the ultimate example of what NOT to do! He also broke the max bumping rule with that bump.

Then CFixWar comes in at 20:14, bumping, don't know why, also not a good move, especially not after James. (I bump CFixWar's thread, he bumps mine/ours)

Then Lander rolls in, breaking the rule yet again, by only 15 minutes (still enough to get a thread locked), replying to the guy as if he actually wanted to join (OK, he couldn't have know about us bumping each other's threads).

Absolute useless reply then comes from Sku11, after just one minute, I guess he wanted to bump it at the same time as Lander wanted to, causing two bumps when to both of them the thread appeared as not bumped. That bump broke the limit even further.

And then I roll in, as the icing on the cake, without seeing all the bumps before, but only seeing that are thread was like 10 threads below the top, so I decide to bump it since 6 hours have passed since the last bump, breaking the limit yet again.

I have to say it is a wonder we didn't get our thread locked for a week (that happens for such stuff), and I am sure we'll get it locked if this happens again.
Now that you've hopefully read all that, PLEASE, don't bump the thread if it is not necessary. I occasionally message someone to bump it, but take a look at the thread before you bump it. You maybe saw the message too late, and someone else had already bumped it. (that happened to me multiple times)

Professional advice from the Forum Moderator: http://prntscr.com/a4im8o


To sum it all up:
1. Nobody got banned and our thread didn't get locked. (don't know how that happened)
2. We now have the pro looking red mark next to the thread: http://prntscr.com/a4ibmj
    That actually stands next to threads that had some issues and there was the need to have a Moderator interfere, but to new people that makes our thread look "important", so not a bad thing all in all, most of the threads many replies have that, shit is bound to happen)
3. Future problems WILL get the thread locked.

This time everything was good, but please, let's not do that again smile

being threadlocked is overrated tbh.  its when you get cross threaded and the screw head sheers you have an issue.
