Default Bumping Posts

I apologize ahead of time, if this thread is not in the proper forum.

As a new member to this site, but a 10+ year veteran on bulletin boards in general....I'm wondering what the policy is in regards to "bumping" a previous post?

The vast majority of boards I've been on, generally discourage and/or prohibit bumping ones own posts.

The reasoning behind that rule is pretty obvious. It keeps a small faction from dominating the forum, with posts that don't seem to be popular with the other members.....and would otherwise fall down the list.

The same goes for repeatedly bumping someone else's post....that you just happen to agree with.

What I've noticed however, is that it seems to be SOP for some posters here.

What is really ridiculous, is seeing a post bumped....within 30 minutes (5 minutes in one case) of the original.

Is this just a reflex action by those who put great emphasis on the number of their posts.....or a need for constant attention?
