I don't know if this is an issue and I realize there are rules but I've noticed something happening with the requests forums of late and it's become tedious and petty. I understand that only allowing two bumps to a request topic per user is part of the forum rules, but if someone is NOT violating the rules, is it really necessary to attach a message to a user's post that he or she has reached the two bump rule? The majority of us know what the rules are and we follow them. The warning messages should only be used if someone hits a third a message bump. I don't believe it's necessary to be tedious about it and post a message to a user's second post about the two bump minimum.
The reason? I had noticed this happening to other users in the request forum and it was finally posted to a a second bump in a request topic that I had posted in. If someone exceeds the two bump rule, I'm in support of enforcing the forum rules with such messages but I don't think it's really necessary to be actively searching topics and posting warning messages to who has posted a second bump message to a request topic. For the simple fact that they have not violated the rules yet.
I do think that this needs to be addressed by the forum staff. I'm not trying to stir up drama about this but it seems to be happening more frequently, of late. I actually run a forum community, have been for more than ten years and my staff doesn't jump into action until the forum rules have actually been violated. There just seems to be some miscommunication about these messages.
