TUG Last Minute Rental Board

The issue I have with the LMR forum is that sometimes a member will list the same property in multiple threads like a day or two apart, instead of bumping or updating the original thread. Maybe they think that bumping the thread might not be appreciated... but is making a duplicate any better??

I don't see any rules about "bumping" or duplicate threads... am I the only one who thinks there should be some in place?

:confused:
 
Duplicate posts are not permitted anywhere on TUG. If you see one, please click on the triangle in the bottom left corner of the post, and report it.

Item #3 in overall BBS Posting Rules (available via the blue navigation bar near the top of all bbs pages):
Avoid posting duplicate messages
Choose the most appropriate forum for your message and place it there and only there. Posting the same message in multiple forums spreads the replies around to different parts of the board and makes them much harder to locate later. If your message does not fit with the stated theme of any of the other forums, please place it in the TUG Lounge forum. This is a special place for "Idle Chit Chat", notices of member meetings, etc. Duplicate posts will be removed when found.

I agree with you. Technically, these are not duplicate threads because there is a slight change, however the effect is really duplicate threads.

More of the 'regulars' who post to the LMR board use the 'bump' process to move post up. That is much preferred to relisting the post (with slight changes).
