Hello,
I just realized one of my users bumped tens of topics in past hour. I gave her a warning. However I was curious is there a limit or something that automatically prevent such behavior?
AI-generated summary
The discussion revolves around preventing a user from bumping multiple topics. hosna initially asked if there’s a limit or feature to automatically prevent this behavior after a user bumped tens of topics in an hour. simon suggested a plugin, but hosna stated it only works for a user’s own topics.
Falco questioned whether the posts were actually bumps or necros. codinghorror asked about the user’s trust level, which hosna revealed was TL2. hosna emphasized that the user didn’t intend to spam, but the end result was disruptive.
Heather_Dudley suggested locking the offender down to TL0 after some discussion about the behavior. However, codinghorror concluded that since the user is TL2, the best course of action would be to follow up directly with the person via PM.
This plugin might help: Discourse No Bump.
As far as I see, its only working for user’s own topics. My problem is user is bumping so many topics from other users.
So those aren’t bumps, but necros ?
What trust level is this user at? There are posting limits for new and TL0 users.
Idk what should I call it. the topics aren’t dead. However this user posted on so many topics and they came to top. This will prevent other users seeing the most recent topics and brings confusion to forum.
tl2. She didn’t have a real intention to spam the forum though. But the end result was like spamming.
My personal response to a repeat offender situation would be to lock the offender down to TL0 until they’ve gotten the message that it’s disruptive, but only after some gentle discussion about how that’s not really appropriate behavior for the forum. Before trying to tech someone out of behavior, try to teach it to them.
If the user is TL2 there is not much to do other than follow up directly with that person via PM.
