A bump is a post meant to bring a topic in the Scratch forums to the top of the forum, thus creating more activity on the said topic. A bump is generally performed by posting the text “bump” in the wanted topic.

Bumps can be very useful when a user wishes for more opinions on their topic. Sometimes, topics which are helpful but do not provoke discussion (such as tutorials) tend to get buried after a while, and thus need regular bumping.

One question about this guide though: you mentioned bumping over twice a day is considered spamming. What if your bumps are on different topics?

Bumping the same topic twice in one day can be considered spam. I generally say that you should only a topic bump once every 24 hours, but you can bump more often if the topic goes off the first page.

You can bump more than two topics per day I believe. If you bumped a whole bunch of topics just saying “bump” and not contributing, that would be spamming, however. You can always bump if you are being constructive and adding to the discussion.
