    This individual is very clearly breaking this one.
    Usually a bump is to one's own thread, and usually just a blurb like bump- they however usually write a short sentence that is vaguely (if not more) on topic.

    I'm not saying people are not allowed to be annoyed, or that he is clearly owning the front page some days lol, but if he called someone a name or wrote literally bump to a post, and that was all, I imagine he'd have a far swifter punishment.

    "blah blah funding FF16" on every thread they bump is not "on topic". When you reply to EVERY THREAD with the same garbage it's obviously bumping. The hilarious part is someone called him out on it and within a day the 2 threads made to call them out were deleted. So we're starting to see that the mods are there.. they just for whatever reason do not feel like enforcing all their rules.

    Repeating yourself isn't against the rules. . . I know what you're saying but.. calling someone out, in the manner they did at least, is against the rules. Repeating yourself on topic and across different topics, reviving old posts, such like that.. it's not.

    All I'm saying, at least generally, is that they're not simply typing bump to a thread and even more particularly not reviving their own threads with little "bump" "/10char" etc. Since bumping your own thread isn't even against the rules if you do it with purpose and content.

    Two rules from the rules thread on the top of the GC that this user is most definitely breaking:
    Please do not post false, fabricated and/or fictitious information. It is unconstructive and will only confuse others. Please be careful with what you post and keep in mind that your words can affect others more than you may expect.
    Please do not make a simple post just for the purpose of "bumping" a thread.
    While I agree the accusatory threads were "witchhunting" to a degree, it's funny that they were actioned before the user that has been regularly breaking multiple rules for several days with nearly every post they make.

    It's surprising the amount of people making concessions for someone who's historically been a troll and continues to do so consistently and unapologetically across many accounts.

    Do you really feel that "yadda yadda funding FF16" is contributory? Relevant?
    bumping threads is against the rules.
