I can understand automatically bumping threads that have been inactive for a few months. But I find it annoying to open a thread based on an interesting title, only to discover that the last post minutes ago was a bump notification when the last actual post was two years ago.
If no one has commented on a post after a few months, maybe it’s time to close the thread.
Haha, me too. It can revive some issues that were mercifully laid to rest too, although sometimes it throws up something interesting.
I just avoid the ones that have the official FS icon as the last post as those are nearly always auto bumps.
The auto-bump is on Wishlist topics that are voteable as bumping topics are not allowed by members. As the wishlist is big, the auto-bump was implemented so as to rotate the wishes.
The other auto-bump is in Friends, Clubs & Groups
The auto-bump has assisted the moderation team in finding duplicate wishes as well as clearing out topics in Friends, Clubs & Groups that are no longer active. If you find a wish that has been implemented in MSFS or it’s a duplicate, you can assist moderators by flagging it as “something else” and we’ll look at it for closing or merging.
I’ll keep that in mind.
Would make sense to just not get notifications of auto-bumps.
Is that possible?
You can use the ‘bell’ notification to filter out messages. For example, I don’t get notifications for anything that has ‘MSFS2024’ as a tag in it (as the only information I want about that subject are official product notifications).
So I guess you could try different filters on key words or perhaps the official MS account ?! (that doesn’t seem like a good idea to me though).
