It makes one wonder what the point is of some of these polls because with  regards to the porn poll even though there was a majority who wanted a porn world. It never came and probably never will.

It'sa so the administrators or mods can get a feel for what the strength of feeling is about a subject. It's not like an election - the vote's just for information, and is only one of the factors we (the team) take into consideration when making a decision.

Remember that this board is not a democracy. The admins call the shots, and the mods enforce their rules.

I would like to know if people can get moderated for bumping dumb shit like this, and if not, why? what are your thoughts on this?

I just briefly looked at the rules. I used "word search" and did not see anything that states "bump" or "bumping".

So what exactly is "bumping"?

i agree ad. the pron thread was kinda silly to bump it, can a poll from then count for now? no, so that's why it was silly. but there isn't much harm in it either, i was just asking if somebody came along and starting doing it all the time, either to bump a flame thread or to bump completely irrelevant threads, if they would get in trouble(like if they started bumping several old internet news threads per night). so it sounds like they probably wouldn't get moderated. but "fun bumping" i understand it's ok, just was wondering what would happen if someone went crazy with it.

I think inter.news got moderated for bumping to many old threads
