Imagine if everyone started bumping their ads. The first page listing and the recent topics would be constantly filled with threads that contain no new information.
Respectfully, I'd like to understand this better...

Say you have 10 items for sale. Some items get sold, whether people PM or post to the thread. If you delete pics, edit to say sold, whatever on the original post...it won't bump the thread, correct? Then the new information wouldn't be available, so to speak. Or....if you add additional things to the topic, instead of creating a fresh topic (thus, clogging the classified section more) it wouldn't bump the thread, because it's an edit to the original post.

I agree, people shouldn't needlessly bump, or bump multiple times a day, week, whatever...but never seems to be absolute.
