well, i don't understand yr point... so if i put "bump for more response" it would be better than just bump? does the same exact job and everyone knows why you've bumped anyway.

No because as you just said thats exactly the same thing lol. The post has to be relevant, so that could be done by adding new information or replying to someone else in the thread.
It may be something that @scott; would change, so we'll see what he says.

Just saying 'bump' is pointless and has been for a while, so confusion over this seems a little odd! I don't see the need with bumping threads to get a response because if someone wanted to reply when the thread started, they would of. I don't see this rule being changed really as it isn't at all hard to add some more input in your thread to help aid discussion rather than a boring 'bump' reply.
I'm not saying I'm confused by it, I'm saying it's stupid to an extent. If you have nothing to respond to in a previous post then i think you should be allowed to say "bump." or whatever, if it's the post count that annoys the staff then delete that post or remove that one post from the count. Also, the whole "I don't see the need with bumping threads to get a response because if someone wanted to reply when the thread started" is a bit stupid, if you look at the thread in question there has been a hellova lot more posts (17 to be exact) more posts AFTER I bumped it compared to one single post from before that.Just saying 'bump' is pointless and has been for a while, so confusion over this seems a little odd!

Another one is in spam where I quoted someone a heap of other people started to reply too...?
I see where you are coming from, but simply posting "Bump" is pointless. You could easily have made your post relevant some way or another.
