Etiquette Question: To Bump, or Not To Bump

Creating the list view of the incoming event as I suggested would be an easy way to see what is the next event in a local area.

We will create list views, but it's not exactly in the highest priority right now. Functionality before presentation.

I think unlimited bumping is fine. If this helps someone bring in more participants, right on. This may be one example of the question, "to mod or not to mod(erate)."

Use your common sense when bumping. The administrators and moderators are very lax and won't delete topics or posts on a whim. Here is an example of acceptable behavior and unacceptable behavior.

EXAMPLE A (acceptable)
Original event announcement is created couple of months before the event is held and drops from the first page couple of weeks after. The organizer decides to bump it up month before the event is held and it again drops out after couple of weeks. Then few days before the event is held he bumps it again to remind people.

EXAMPLE B (unacceptable)
Original event announcement is created couple of months before the event. The organizer bumps up every time the topic moves out of the first spot in the topic list.

The thin red line between acceptable and unacceptable behavior lies somewhere in between.
