Commonly Used Language on AoPS

Here is a list of commonly used forum language on AoPS.

Bump

"Bumping" means to post on a thread simply to make the thread go back to the top of a forum. Usually on such posts, AoPSers write things like "bumping" or "bump" in the post content. Do not bump unless you are sharing relevant information. Bumping is not necessarily a bad thing though.

Troll

Trolling is bad.

Snipe

Sniping is the action of posting to a thread right before another user posted, usually when both posts contain the same content or gist. AoPSers tend to edit their post and add things like "EDIT: sniped!" at the end to signify this.

It is also used in reaper when 2 or more AoPSers reap at around the same time (5 seconds or so) by accident, usually giving one a large score and the other a smaller one.
