Tiny Little Questions

Recommended Posts

I got a question regarding the trading threads:

 

A dragon trading thread: 

Quote

1. No unnecessary bumps. Please, post your trade offer only once per day, and remember that a repost is considered to be a post as well. Other players have their trades, too.

 

Rare Trading Bazaar:

Quote

9. Please only do one post per day. It's a rule of the trade forum (link found in rule 2) so please adhere to it.

 

Trading/Gifting Subforum, Rules and Guidelines:

Quote

Due to members continued spam bumping posts/topics, in trading/gifting topics. We will allow one (1) bump every 24 hours. All other bumps/re-posts will be treated as spam, the member will receive a warn. Example: Member posts trade on the 17th, member can not re-post/bump the same trade until the 18th.

 

So... if I see someone quoting their 12 hours old post... are they allowed to do that or not? I would have said No but somehow the trading rules and the ones from the threads don't match up?

If you think there's a problem, PM the thread host. But I'd agree - once in 24 hours.

Members need to edit their original post when adding details, unless it is a legal bump.

Every member needs an equal opportunity, for their trade to be seen. Changing wants is not a legal bump, only different "haves' make it legit.

From the Trading/Gifting Subforum, Rules and Guidelines.

 

From what I understand, changing the 'want' section or bumping the exact same trade request is a bump, and only one bump is allowed per day. 

But adding 'have's is a legal bump and is allowed more than once per day.

 

Maybe? Or not? I think the rules need to be clearer on what a 'legal bump' is.

That's true - if you are CHANGING your post significantly in terms of what you HAVE, you are allowed to re-post.

The legal bump is exactly what you quoted.

I see plenty of bumps that don't contain any changes at all, made as soon as the thread gains a new page, sometimes within less than 4 hours - those are definitely not legal.

The thread host cannot do anything about this, only mods could.

Let's say I do not change my original post. Am I allowed to post shortly before midnight and then bump three hours later? That would not break the "once a day" rule but the 24 hours rule.

 

Before discussing this with the thread openers I would like to understand which one is right.

Right at the top, it says:

That's a mod's word. Seems clear :)

 

So, in essence, you may bump if either:

- you add something you are offering

or

- the 24 hours are over.

No you may not re-post/bump 3 hours later.

Minor issue, but anyone else bugged that when you go to online users and sort by display name, it sorts in reverse-alphabetical order? Unless there's some way to make it not reversed that I don't know about.

Did anyone else's breeding page change after last nights maintenance? I noticed my 'breed' text changed to a neat little button. Looks nice imo. I'm guessing it's not a site wide change since I haven't seen anyone mention it yet.

I noticed it this morning, but hadn't bred anything for a few days, so I wasn't sure when it happened.

Ah, you're right! I checked on the Portal 2 and 1960s skin and the button looks different for each version. It does stick out the most in the St Patrick's one though.

Oh cool, it's an actual site-wide change! I noticed the new breed button but thought it was just the new browser I'm using, since I'd never gone to the breed page in it before. I like the change, it looks good.

St. Pat's looks a little different from the regular scroll.

St. Patrick's has boring button-looking buttons because I wasn't sure if buttons of the style of the other skins would work well.

 

Good to hear that the outline-style buttons are reading like buttons, though. I was also unsure if they'd look "clickable" enough (though I have been using them for events recently).

When did we get the ability to name Leetle Trees?

 

I JUST noticed that I can. Odd. I wonder what I ought to call Mine.

Must have been some time last summer. Someone made a thread in Site Discussion in July when they first noticed it:

I like it - and I am a St Pat user. It never occurred to me that they wouldn't work :)

 

ETA Just had a look at the default. The St Pat's ones look MORE clickable !

The Blackout ones look like plain text :lol: I don't mind though. What matters is that they work, and they do that.

I precog'ed an egg, got male.  Influenced it to be female.  I thought that I could precog it again with the same dragon to see if it worked, but it's not showing up as an action choice.  Did I miss a step somehow?

The Aeon will be on cooldown. Bet if you have a second Aeon you should be able to, AFAIK.

Ah--thanks!  I thought I read elsewhere that the same dragon would work on the same egg more than once.  Wrong info, obviously!  Have a great day--
