Bumping is posting in an old thread and so "bumping" it up to the top of the board threads list (as threads are listed by most recent post). Bumping attracts a lot of flak here for no good reason.
If you're going to bump a thread, have a good reason for doing so, and make a reasonable post. A "bad bump" is bumping an old thread with text such as "lol", asking a question that has already been answered, etc.. The former example would earn you an infraction due to a breach of the "No stupidity" rule, as well.
Also, any posts containing words to the effect of "Don't bump old threads" and containing nothing worthwhile, will be deleted/infracted.
