Sort of. The bump button is there on purpose. We removed it for a bit, but that just led to an enormous flood of useless messages bumping threads. People would create new accounts just to post "up" or "bump" so even using the warn or ban options didn't really slow it down. I get the gripes about the bump button, but it's still a better option than getting a reply notification and the thread getting bumped anyway.

It's all good. I'm not upset. It's just a thing that comes up an awful lot, especially in threads where the model has basically retired and people keep bumping it.

Maybe as a suggestion, you could implement instead of it showing in watched threads as the last person who posted's name showing and today's date, could you not have it say bumped instead?

There are a lot of features I'd like added with the bumping specifically, but there really isn't an easy way to do it. Sites like this mostly run on prebuilt forum software that has options for turning certain features on and off or adding simple roles and rules for how some of those features work. If it's not already built into the code it's not a simple thing to add.
