I'm pretty sure there is supposed to be a safeguard against this, but I noticed you can still bump topics up by replying to the thread, and then deleting your post. Just thought I would bring it up.

No reason not to allow it, I'd say. It's just as easy to bump without deleting your reply, and mods can see who did it either way.

EDIT: 10,000 posts! W00t!

Shush you, a lot of people don't know about it. [lol]

If anyone starts doing it inappropriately they'll be told to stop, so it's not really a problem. Personally I find it quite useful at times.

I see a load of people (rarely forumites) who'll bump questions far too soon. If no replies after 24hrs, then fine, but anything less than that can be annoying - strikes me as plain impatient.

Holy cow...

Yeah. There's one thread in the Vis Arts forum where someone (not even the OP) keeps reposting the same exact thing to bump and get attention. If it wasn't worth replying to the first time...

If you see those, go ahead and flag them. They're difficult for roving mods to notice offhand.
