you just reply to a thread if you want to push it up to the top of a particular forum.  either because your thread or somebody else's thread is being pushed back to the bottom because of inactivity.

so you just reply "up" or "up for you" or "hello anyone" or whatever.  but dont ever do it after an hour or so of posting it, its bad form actually.

hope this is what you meant.  he he

"UP" / "up" / UP! / "Up / "Up!"
However else it is written, think of it as shorthand for:
"Up you go, post!"
Others write: "Bump!". See 3650guy's explanation below:

Title: Up and IMO/IMHO
Post by: alvincflorentino on October 18, 2009, 02:15:17 PM
I've been wondering what "UP" means in forums and why people always write that in a subsequent post all by itself. For example, in the classifieds section, people begin the thread by placing an ad for their equipment or whatever it is they're selling. Then, when whether or not someone responds to the post, in subsequent posts they will post an UP message by itself, sometimes accompanied by a smiley face emoticon.

This morning I finally found out that it was frowned upon since it actually directs the moderator to place the message as the latest post or UP on top of everyone else's. I had to Google this since I was afraid to ask it inside any thread for fear of being kicked out! Since it is frowned upon, why does everyone still do it? Shouldn't the moderator inform the "forumites" (another unofficial term) of this disrespectful activity? Or is it just tolerated?

Another term I searched was IMO/IMHO. Found out it was "In My Opinion" and "In My Honest Opinion." Now everything makes sense.

Boy, my age is showing, huh? Ha!

Thanks!
Title: Re: Up and IMO/IMHO
Post by: sjon014 on October 18, 2009, 04:03:57 PM
Actually, the process is automatic. It doesn't direct the moderator to do anything. Posting anything (even a blank message) on any topic will immediately move it to the top of the thread because all messages are ordered by the ones with the most recent post.

UP-ping or BUMP-ing (Bring My Post Up) is common especially in Classifieds threads that have fast activity. If I'm selling something, it will likely get lost in the shuffle after a few hours, ending up in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th pages of the forum. I can UP/BUMP my thread so people can see it on the first page again.

Overdoing it however, is bad practice. I believe there was a Bumping guideline implemented last year, that you can UP/BUMP your threads only once per day - and that you should delete the old UP/BUMP message so as to not waste forum space.

Don't be afraid to ask questions, sir. :-D Forum netiquette is kinda weird sometimes.XD
Title: Re: Up and IMO/IMHO
Post by: alvincflorentino on October 18, 2009, 11:49:07 PM
Ok. I understand. But if your latest post automatically goes to the top of the latest page, you don't really have to type UP anymore, right? All you have to do is send a blank message within your post and it automatically brings it to the top. Of course, adding a smiley face will do no harm--or even writing UP. Arggh! Inescapable! Haha!
Title: Re: Up and IMO/IMHO
Post by: KitC on October 19, 2009, 10:52:15 AM
We have been controlling UPs since this has been much abused by some members in order to increase their post counts. There is this misguided perception where "leveling up" means increased respect in the community and addictus status means that one becomes 'untouchable' - far from it.

With respect to the classifieds, only the seller is allowed to up his thread; we delete needless ups and disallow others from bumping up another's classifieds thread.

We tend to follow standard practice on netiquette, which is just plain good manners if you think about it. What is (not) surprising is that the anonimity of the internet seems to bring out a lot of the Jeckyll in some people, which unfortunately is more common than most people care to admit.
Title: Re: Up and IMO/IMHO
Post by: alvincflorentino on October 20, 2009, 12:06:41 AM
I'm glad you touched on the addictus stauts and the other "tags" a member has under his "call sign." I've noticed quite a number of members have this. Is this automatically generated by the site once a person has been a member for a certain duration or after a number of posts? Or is there some other reason? I'm not too bothered by it nor am I influenced. Just an observation.

Well, don't let me take too much of your net time. As I'm sure you've deduced from the quality and flavor of my queries, I'm new to forums and the like. Like a number of us mere mortals, I just mostly read and learn what I can. As I've observed, you (KitC) seem to be a well-respected person whose talent as a moderator and as a musician/recordist is beyond question. Thanks for your kindness and invaluable inputs! See ya around
Title: Re: Up and IMO/IMHO
Post by: sjon014 on October 20, 2009, 01:16:02 AM
The status tag and the corresponding star count/colour under the callsign are automatically changed as you reach a set amount of posts. (Forum Fanatic at 500, Addictus at 1000, and so on.)

I'd like to share my take on this though.

I believe that Philmusic is primarily a community-centric venue for musicians. However, it's also known as a trade emporium with good visibility and traffic. We know about the complexity of a musician's gear. Then there are times where shipping money and gear is the only viable option between buyer and seller. All these factors give us plenty of ways to be scammed.

That's why there are times when I look at a person's "status". Forgive the generalisation, but I believe that there are two types of forumites in PhilMu.
1. Those who contribute in the discussion threads and post in the classfieds.
2. Those who post in the classifieds alone.

I think considering member status is one safeguard to avoid scams. I have nothing against merchants in the forums, but sometimes, you can tell from the post if a deal is sketchy. Of course, I sometimes tend to read previous posts of the person I want to deal with just to make sure he didn't become a "Forum Fanatic" by posting "Up!" and smileys alone. :lol:

Bottom line, I'm more comfy dealing with contributing members, regardless of status - as long as he doesn't have just a couple of posts under his belt, all in the Classifieds section.
Title: Re: Up and IMO/IMHO
Post by: hance on October 20, 2009, 02:16:41 AM
UP!!!

haha just kidding.

I am not new sa mga forums but I very rarely post stuff here.  In fact I only began to post here just a few days ago after about three years being a member. 

Admittedly, I only did so "partly" so that when I introduce myself during inquiries and negotiations, the other party could (hopefully) assess through my posts that I'm trustworthy naman.  I havent sold anything here (yet) pero marami-rami na din ako nabili.  :-)

And yeah, I also tend to look for the quality of the previous posts of sellers I deal with (not just the UP ones)  :-)

I am a member of other forums though that are not guitar/music-related that I am more active at.

I totally agree with your way of "sizing up" the members and I think that's a very simple and logical approach to weeding out the "Jeckyls"--as KitC pointed out--in this forum. On the other hand, we have members--hance and I are living proof--who rarely post outside the Classifieds, let alone within them, and are just here to learn from the invaluable tips and, once in a while, snap up a good bargain while they're at it. I believe this forum--and a good 90% of other forums out there--has this sort of "passive" membership as the majority. Don't you agree? I think that's reflective of society in general. I mean, in the last workshop, lecture, or gathering you attended, how many people actually raise their hand to answer a lecturers question immediately? How many people just sit and watch? And how many people suddenly find their shoes attractive or that tree outside the window beautiful when the lecturer scans his eyes across the room? What I'm trying to get at is this: We'll probably continue to have a difficult time sizing up people based on their 5 contributions to a forum and more so for those who just suddenly appear in the Classifieds lusting for our gear (which is most likely how I seem to you guys. Ha!).

By the way, thanks for reminding me that I now have only 985 more posts to go before I am crowned with the much revered "addictus" status.  :evil: Haha.

another reason for controlling the bumps is that, everyone who posts their items in the classifieds section needs money.  And selfishness gets in the way in such that a sellers will always want their item on the first page for the duration that the items isn't sold yet.

Other sellers miss the privelege of staying on the first two pages for as long as they possibly can.  So to be fair to all, especially to those who aren't stuck in front of their PC, BUMP CONTROL is a must.

it was a lot a worse back in the days, where everyone keeps bumping their items 10x a day.  I used to bump mine 3x a day!  :lol:

may record holder nga eh, 16x!  I won't say who it is though.   :-)

The status tag and the corresponding star count/colour under the callsign are automatically changed as you reach a set amount of posts. (Forum Fanatic at 500, Addictus at 1000, and so on.)

I'd like to share my take on this though.

I believe that Philmusic is primarily a community-centric venue for musicians. However, it's also known as a trade emporium with good visibility and traffic. We know about the complexity of a musician's gear. Then there are times where shipping money and gear is the only viable option between buyer and seller. All these factors give us plenty of ways to be scammed.

That's why there are times when I look at a person's "status". Forgive the generalisation, but I believe that there are two types of forumites in PhilMu.
1. Those who contribute in the discussion threads and post in the classfieds.
2. Those who post in the classifieds alone.

I think considering member status is one safeguard to avoid scams. I have nothing against merchants in the forums, but sometimes, you can tell from the post if a deal is sketchy. Of course, I sometimes tend to read previous posts of the person I want to deal with just to make sure he didn't become a "Forum Fanatic" by posting "Up!" and smileys alone. :lol:

Bottom line, I'm more comfy dealing with contributing members, regardless of status - as long as he doesn't have just a couple of posts under his belt, all in the Classifieds section.

I agree, there's a lot of good deals at the Classifieds section, but if the TS is mainly a Classifieds section regular, something just doesn't feel right about the deal. I think I'm better off dealing with forumite regulars who have been around long enough & have a reputation to protect  :-D :-D

Title: Regarding up guidelines
Post by: favoriteitem on February 11, 2013, 12:54:02 AM
Hi newbie here 8-) 8-).... I just would like to ask why my thread got locked all what I did is to up the item that I am selling every other day. And nareceive ko yung warning nung nagup ako ng dalawang beses sa isang araw after that never ko na ginawa.

 Actually, I was not able to see any rules and guidelines about your "up" rules on the website. I tried to check your help page and wala.....Pasensya na talaga baguhan lang ako dito isn't it proper to warn members first before locking the thread that I created?....What I'm trying to say dapat alam ng member na meron kayong gagawin sa account para maavoid yung maling nagawa.

What about ung kapag nagpost ang isang member ng multiple threads by mistake hindi ba dapat ang member lang ang may karapatan naidelete ung thread na yon. Atsaka walang delete button sa thread. Please answer my questions ASAP.

Thanks..... :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

There is that saying that goes 'ignorance of the law does not exempt you from it'.

Just goes to show that one MUST read and understand the rules and FAQs in a most forums. In comparison to some, PM is quite forgiving.

- and we have the rules posted everywhere too. from the new members boards to the musicians forums down to the classifieds boards, it's just a click away actually. :-P
