Ladies and Gents,
There is a lot of thread bumping going on at the moment (adding to a thread some time after the last post), mostly by our newest members, but some of you that have been around for a while now are doing it too.
Thread bumping was added to our rules in January (rule 5), and the welcome PM that is sent to all new members is being re-written to reflect this.
The forum staff don't like getting heavy handed - I'd like to think we've left those days behind - but the current situation is getting rather annoying now.
To clarify, if you are posting a reply to a thread that hasn't seen a post for some time - shall we say 3 weeks to a month - you must be adding something of value, such as an update or correction. If you are adding a post simply to share your thoughts or re-initiate discussion, your post will be removed by the forum staff.
