A BST rule about bumping. Should there be one?

[Leon]

As much as I dislike implementing rules I feel having a discussion about one would be a good idea. A thousand things can be discussed, but for this discussion the topic is concerning bumping (responding in a BST section thread for the sole purpose (and no thinly veiled attempts please) of making a listing go to the top. We have a very, very active BST section and it is time consuming to manage; so I don't want to. It can get a bit tiresome always going around having to police someone bumping their thread to the top too often. I am thinking of having a hard rule of not bumping a thread more than every 4+/- days, for the sole purpose of bumping it. Again, if anyone tries to play the system it won't work for long. Our members are quite the sleuth slayers. And so we can get a flavor the poll will have some options. All members thoughts are appreciated but if you talk about something else I reserve the right to get us back on track. Thanks for your divided attention.
