+shopthebookworm Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Ok, last time I am posting this event in hopes it will be okay and not get closed and it will not get bumped to the bottom and not be seen. Our authors don't really care that people can't always play nice and deserve to be mentioned and promoted by us no matter what the topic of the book is. Don't be mad at me for reposting this Pubby, I am just trying to do the right thing for my authors and customers;o) Tomorrow, at The Book Worm, we are hosting 2 authors who will be signing copies of their books form 2 to 4pm. If you want to know who they are, please go to our event at the store page on our website Events at The Book Worm Link to post Share on other sites

+shopthebookworm Posted January 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 We love y'all and while I understand the rules (now that I know them) I still need to promote it but don't want any bullets flying at me! Link to post Share on other sites
gpatt0n Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Bookworm: I didn't shut you down. I did remove your post that said "bump" ... which if you ask around, is a no-no. As far as the boortzion thing ... that is also a well-known thing. I've posted until I'm blue in the face on both the topic of bumping (a no-no) and the big topic which is apparently the central topic of the books mentioned. FYI: The way around the bumping thing is to not use the term BUMP ... but rather find something new and substantive to say. Usually it is a good thing to have another member post as well. pubby Link to post Share on other sites

Not that I new to the group but since I stay away from any topic that may get ugly, guess I missed all those things that I should know. I promise to not do anything that I now know not to do. I won't even cross my fingers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

To clarify, posts consisting of merely the word "bump" (or similar) intended to bump the thread up in the list of recent topics are not permitted. What if there is no word OR just a letter like V or Q? How about lump? Can I use lump to bump something Yup, being silly now, guess it is time to go home. Link to post Share on other sites

Can I use lump to bump something Yup, being silly now, guess it is time to go home. Instead of bump, lump or grump, just type "Hope to see y'all there." and you should be fine. If you've already done it on a thread, have someone else post a question you can answer later, thereby providing yet more bumps without the "bump". Link to post Share on other sites
