IMPORTANT NOTES:

• You can only use the bump link in a thread once every 30 minutes
• To bump a thread you can be the author of the thread you are trying to "bump", or be the last person to post in a topic.
• You can only rebump using the "Bump Thread" link after a new post has been posted in the thread
• You cannot use the "Bump Thread" link in a topic that you are the only person who has posted
• Upon using the "Bump Topic" link, the date and time of the last post will change. It would be misleading to assume that the last person was active as of their last post time and date.

You may bump a topic by clicking the "Bump Topic" link seen in FIGURE 4:.

Tips for those looking for commander...

Try to do a rudimentary calculation of the naq bonus you would get. Quite a few commanders that gloss over how many officers they have, so the income bonus seems larger...

PART I: Calculating the income you receive

1. if they state total income:
   a. multiply that by 0.3 (if they operate on 30% bonus)
   b. divide that number by total officers he/she has + 1 (to account for you)
   c. see the bonus you would get
   
2. if they state income to officers:
   a. divide that number by total officers he/she has + 1 (to account for you)
   b. see the bonus you would get
   
3. if they do the calculation for you and present the income you will recieve:
   a. you have a number that you should be getting from them, but take into account/consider Part II

PART II: Stability of income

Find out if you prospective commander:


1. changes their alert level at night or during the day
2. keeps the bonus at 30%, or if they regularly change it
3. plans on recruiting more officers soon
4. meets their quota of officers to recruit. If they do not end up with as many officers as they set out to find, ask if the percentage you will recieve (what they have quoted) will stay the same, go up, or go down.

made some comments on the "bump link" method.. it is complicated...sorta

good if your thread has high traffic

right now I think the gold standard is to delete bumps or to 'bump' post

finished...for now, compiling the 'conditions for using the bump topic link.
viewtopic.php?f=16&t=101534&p=1191193#p1191193

The 'conditions' seem to be the way the feature was set up in phpbb (way it is coded), and it's yet uncertain if it can be changed.

nice Guide

i dont get this; do you need to delete bump before posting a new one?
or this is just for better transparency ?

cheers
