Bump!?

I've seen a lot of users using the word "Bump!" until their post is at the top of the list again.

Of course, there was no change in the post.

Is this an accepted practice among users?

Is it correct to use this word or any other word?

Thankful

It's fairly normal to do it. Some achieve a similar effect by editing their posts. It can sometimes bring new attention and replies to a poll suggestion.

But some of us would prefer it to be done less. "Bump" posts are not interesting, and bumps of old posts tend to flood the community. Perhaps it's best to only bump suggestions that are particularly timely.

There's still a catch with a bump is that once you bump a poll, you can't do it a second time after a while, I have nothing against the practice (having done it myself) but it's counter-productive to bump all your polls at once since it paradoxically decrease their visibility and so they end up cancelling each other (not to mention make the other polls disappear from the main page), I guess better to do two or three bumps at a time and call it a day.

@Peter_pbn​ Thank you for your comments
I agree with you, it's not interesting, I just wanted to make sure that others think the same
I try not to, because I think it's important for the poll board to see the post, and others seeing it doesn't necessarily make the poll live.

@ ElMaruecan82 I wonder if using this word will make our poll live?
I'd like a lot of people to see my poll too, but it's important that the poll board sees it, right?
Thank you for your opinion

@ACT_1​ thank you.
But there were other people who used it.
Of course, I don't want to name names ((:

Yeah, they're being upfront instead of disguising their intentional bump with a small amount of shallow verbiage.

Why not? Often times there is merit to a bump.
