Sorry, you have to wait until this post gets off the 1st page before you can bump this post up again.

Bumps are spammy and hide the actual discussion

Support! This would be very useful and it would reduce tons of unnecessary posts, also, they should make it so a topic can be only bumped after 24 hours and is no longer on the front page

This is in the Linux Mint forums and many others. But, it would be easier to bump. I just don't know how the message will look like, maybe you could choose between “bump”, “this topic teleports to the top”, “bring up by post”, and custom? (in the siggy page)

No support, i like bumping in funny ways or with images and this wouldn't allow me to do it

No support. It takes absolutely nothing to just type “bump”. Also just posting bumps a topic anway.

Anyone could bump a thread from five years ago at this second…
The only situation where this could cause spam is if a 9yr uses this option out of curiosity.

This could help with user's forum posts mostly being comprised of “bump” or some other variation, and could also be more useful depending on a few things.

No. Bumping helps for other people to see your thread, to see if it could be of use to them or not and if they should support it or not.

If a thread has a new post it it goes to the front to show that its alive right? So would a “bump” button just be used to keep your thread alive for your own gain?

Yes, partially for your own gain I'd assume, but like I stated above, it also helps others find a topic to see if it can be to use.

I just see it being exploited more than It should, and also being more pointless Than useful.

With the 60 second rule, bumps are limited, and then there is also the rule of not being able to bump when on the first page or until the next day.

This feature is useful since no one replies to my suggestions anymore… but will this only be for the OP?

The user can still do that by writing bump on the thread
Support but time limit is needed
