Are we allowed to bump our threads? Apparently people in here bump their own threads, appearing on top, even though no one posted for hours in it. This implies that someone commented on their own thread, bumped it, then removed their own comment.

How about duplicating the news? When someone makes shorter/different version previously published (by someone else) news?

No, bumping is not allowed in any sub-forum. I usally try to message the users who do bump to please stop. If you see anyone bumping threads constantly, you can always send me a PM.

That's a tough question. I would say if they are written by yourself and add something to a previous article I don't mind it. Greater quality is more likely to get featured.

A copied short version of a previous posted one is not allowed.
