Bumping is always acceptable, and saging is optional. And saging an on-topic reply is just rude.

>>114523 I disagree, I think even if the post is on-topic, if the thread is on page one it shouldn't matter. Unless you really want that post to move up to the front of the board. [If we are using bump order view]
But this is again predicated that the thread is on the first page, and that the thread is on a board that is for "high quality discussion" or serious discussion.
I'm not saying everyone should sage on the first page, but that's my rationale for on-topic sages.

>>114524 Perhaps I could be convinced that on-topic saging is acceptable if the thread is early in the order. The earlier the thread, the lesser the impact of the sage.

>>114525 Well I'm of the opinion that treating sage as if it's a downvote is asinine, its a tool same as any other.
Again a lot of this is more concerning the front page then say, page 5 thread. If you sage in a page 5 thread and make a good post you're just an asshole.
In all honesty I think saging is important to imageboard environments and it should be used often, especially when a thread is moving fast and it's already on page 0 or 1.

>>114527 >Well I'm of the opinion that treating sage as if it's a downvote is asinine, its a tool same as any other. That has nothing to do with my opinion of saging. If it did, then I'd think it'd be equally rude no matter what page the thread was on before.
>If you sage in a page 5 thread and make a good post you're just an asshole. This is essentially my opinion.

>>114528 Well right.
We're in agreement.
I'm just saying that sage should be use even with good posts when the thread is already the first one/on the first page.
Or when you're making a double post to clarify something.
Anonymous 10/02/23 (Mon) 13:43:46 No. 114530 >>114531
>>114529 But... why? Like sure, if it's on the first page it makes little difference whether or not you bump, but by the same reasoning why would you go out of your way to sage rather than just sticking with the default?
I see no reason why you would sage except if you explicitly want to avoid bumping the thread (either because you dislike the thread or your response is a low-effort shitpost).
Anonymous 10/02/23 (Mon) 13:48:10 No. 114531
>>114530 Well it's because there's no reason to bump it, it's already on the first page so it's a moot point whether it gets bumped or not. Again this is like a hyper specific case. If the board was being spammed with something unsavory, then it would be wise to bump the good threads instead of saging.

>>114522 I sage by default, a habit I picked up back on 4/qa/. When I bump threads, it's typically because I either a) want the whole board to see what I posted, as opposed to the people already in the thread, and/or b) because I was considering making a thread about a subject myself and discovered that there was already a thread with that topic in the catalog.
As an aside, I think sage should generally be hidden a-la 4chan. The whole point of sage is that you're trying to be discreet, and labeling a sage-d post as-such kind of defeats the point.

Whenever someone tries to tell me when to sage and not to, I do the opposite because I'm passive aggressive and don't like being told what to do.

>>114536 Oh this isn't one of those, its more like the philosophy and etiquette of imageboard posting.

I bump if it's on topic and sage if it's not.

if "sage" comes from "sageru" in japanese, then when using it as a present participle in english, would you still pronounce it as "sa-ge-ing", or would you pronounce it "saging/sageing", like how "sage" would normally be pronounced?

>>114551 English kinda deleted all the final -e's it had, just look at this festival of silent letters:
https://wordmom.com/regular-verbs/end-e A conjugation actually being pronounced as -eing sounds very unnatural to me and I assume to other people as well, I suppose that's why it defaults to the more natural saydj rather than saggeh.

>>114522 You're supposed to feel it out. I sage on topic sometimes because I feel like my opinion isn't saying anything new or if the thread is already on page 1 or 2. I don't think much of it.
I'm only consistent with it when replying to old threads that I may or not want to necrobump out of politeness (bumping to not create a new thread for a topic I want to talk about or using sage to not necro it if my post isn't important or replying to another anon who saged, etc.)
I also sage blogposts like this one
