Bump function abuse

[vanman]

How about only being able to bump a thread if it has a reasonable amount of responses like say10 and let's say about 100 views which would indicate that their is some intrest in the post.And then again only another 50 or 100 views further being able to bump it once more, after that everybody would have had a chance to look at it and had more than enough time to respond to it.Even better only being able to bump a thread on top of that if you commented on it.

I thought that one of the main functions of the bump button was to bump things that not everyone may have seen e.g. a question with no responses. Your idea would effectively eliminate people's ability to do this. I think micael's idea would get rid of 'bump-button abuse' most effectively - how often do you have to bump a thread anyway?
