No-Bump Replying

[The Doctor]

So many times, I have wished to reply to a thread, but did not wish to bump it.

So I suggest we add another checkbox to additional options for no-bump posting!

So we could tell people to get the forget out of topics so that they will die, without bumping them in the process!

So...

Is my suggestion worth a facking loving fack?

How the hell do you reply a topic and Not bump it?

they're wanting to not bump it, as it is a suggestion/request?

Oh, so when they reply, they dont want to bump it. But its impossible to not bump a old topic if you want to reply on it.

Think of a forum as a large collection of conversations and the forum view is just a bulletin board telling you what the most recent posts are. Why would you want to say something in a conversation and then have no one hear you say it? I mean you might as well just not post.

You can always try modifying an older post, this won't bump the thread but it will update the thread with a new unread posts tag.

That wouldn't work if you'd never posted there before/had a lot of messages posted after your last one.

Also, it seems as though a few people find this confusing.

THE CONCEPT IS:
You reply to topic.
You check no-bump box.
You post.
Topic is not bumped.

That is all.

Bump

This is pointless. The threads are bumped to notify others. If a thread wasn't bumped, and the user knows that, then they're just ranting, or expressing themselves because they have no self control.

Stupid request is stupid.
