Hey! So if you are on a Desktop, you'll see little Up/Down arrows next to every post from another user. A users respect is tied to how many '+1's' their posts have gotten

The respect is related to the up-voting of posts. Each up-vote past +2 adds to a respect aggregate which is rounded to the respect value that appears on your profile. Trust me, this forum is a great place to hang out in. Have fun

Just to add onto the other replies, here's an excerpt about respect from the forum rules:

Most sections of the forums have an awesome thing that appears to the top right of the post – A respect meter and the option to ‘upvote’ or ‘downvote’ a post. We encourage everyone to upvote any post they find even remotely helpful – these slowly add up to increase the respect count on the profile of the person doing good stuff, and gives them a small form of recognition for their great work.

The formula is:
+1 = 0 Respect
+2 = 0 Respect
+3 = 0.4 Respect
+4 = 0.8 Respect
+5 = 1.2 Respect etc…

Lots of small posts with ‘+1’ won’t increase the respect count on your profile, but one great one with ‘+17’ will increase your respect count by 6.
Don’t downvote posts for no reason. Targeting a specific user’s posts or just downvoting everything in sight is definitely not allowed under any circumstances.

Hey! I don't really know how to post a separate question so I'll just ask on this forum.
For English Advanced Module C (People and Politics with The Crucible), is Dead Poet's Society an effective related text? Our question is on political perspectives and personal interests. I was thinking about doing the politics of tradition, what other types could I discuss?

Hi there! Welcome to the forums

It sounds like your question would be best suited for the English Advanced Question thread, which is here.

The forum can be a bit of a confusing place to navigate at first, but you'll be familiar with it in no time!

Just wondering, if we post something, and it hasn't been replied after 24 hours of posting it, are we allowed to "bump" our post?

If the thread is busy and your post has been shifted back a page or two, sure, feel free to give a little, "Hey guys, just bumping this as it got missed, would love some help!" shout out. I think being polite is key - No one is going to be sympathetic if you start being sarcastic/mean spirited because you don't get a reply within a day, which thankfully doesn't happen often

I'm making out as if there is are concrete rules, there aren't any. Basically, bumping a question is fine if it isn't annoying anyone. Bumping anything after less than a day or two, or bumping something multiple times, would be what I'd consider annoying bumping

Best emoji a "bump" is fancy forum language for posting again in a thread to put your question back to the most recent/top of the list. So say, you post a new thread and it doesn't get any responses, posting again after a couple of days is "bumping" that thread back to the top.

Traditionally, it's semi-bad forum etiquette - But like, the forum is busy, stuff gets missed, no issues with politely giving a little, "Hey guys, would still love some help with this!" if you need to

So if our question hasn't been answered within a day, we're allowed to politely bump it if necessary?

keywords are "if necessary"

Ask yourself why you want to bump.. is it because you're impatient or is it because your post got lost in another conversation? Don't forget peeps who answer questions on here are doing so voluntarily so to expect an answer ASAP is unrealistic.

If it's been a day or so and still no response, then I don't see any problem if you want to bump once. Of course, if you continued to bump more than once then one would have to question whether or not it's spam.
