Currently in the thread about 'Forum Posting Guidelines' ( totalfreedom.boards.net/thread/8134 )
Ops are technically not allowed to bump threads.

' 3. Bumping. Posting a single word or useless message to bring new attention to a thread. This is allowed by owner and admins for official purposes to call attention to previous server rule threads, changed policies, etc. On the other hand, if you're just bumping to get attention to a post that didn't get attention to begin with, the bump message and/or the thread is subject to being deleted. Also, if you notice somebody has violated this rule, don't post another message - just PM the person and ask them to remove the post. (If the thread is stickied, and you have something to contribute to it, then you may post in it) '
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't even see what is inherently wrong with bumping in the first place (provided that input is still need and etc) -(would you rather a whole new thread be created than there be a 5 day bump or so to bring attention?)
Also, I don't think that the rule is being enforced anyway, and I think that the general consensus is that's it's fine for anyone to bump threads (providing it's still relevant).
So the rule should be changed/updated - even if only to make it official so that any new players who are reading the rules don't get confused/worried.
