Official ZDoom Community Rules [revised Aug 25 2018]

i dont know how to post posts, please help me

You seem to have figured it out already.

[Lagi]

Don't "bump," "revive," or "necro" old topics. The rule of thumb is about 30 days, or 1 month. Uselessly bumping old topics will get you yelled at, especially if it's a very old Projects thread. If you're going to post in an old thread, you should have a very good reason for doing so, for example asking questions about how an old mod works. We do have a couple of useful threads to stop pointless bumping; ask here if a download link is broken, or read this thread if a mod doesn't seem to run correctly. If your bump consists solely of "So, any updates?", there will be hell to pay.

So I cannot post with my opinions about mod i like because no-one reply to it for more than month?
like Winter fury?

As long as the post is useful in some way, i.e. asks important questions that are actually helpful for other folks, or gives constructive (and well-worded) feedback, you're fine.

I wish to expand on this with a handy "What Is A Not-Useless Bump?" guide.

If your post:

• Reports a bug with the mod itself
• Gives detailed feedback
• Is asking a specific question about the mod or how to use it
• Offers a minor patch or fix to the mod that isn't worth creating its own project thread for

This is a useful bump.

So a post like this:

Hey, thanks for making Super This Is Totally A Mod 3.0, it really improves my Dooming experience and I especially like how you made the Shotguns fire small packets of potato chips that explode into shaving cream, I felt that was a really nice touch.

Is preferable to a post like this:

hey this is p. cool

[Lagi]

thanks,
oh boy, i feel pressure now

I mean it's not like anybody ever gets warned for a Useless Bump.

I posted a thread yesterday that stated it needed moderator approval.

It is still not visible.

There's nothing else by you in the moderator queue besides this post, and I can't find any disapproved posts on the logs that say they were by you.

It's this.
