"Your" forum is actually a Jelsoft forum and not a personal forum, this is something you guys told me more than once.

My feedback on this has nothing to do with how I might run my forums. I'm simply giving you feedback and showing you specific cases where you are preventing me and other members from being notified of important replies to support issues. This doesn't have to be another "us and them" issue.

An no it's not because mods are annoyed of bumps.
User get annoyed of bumps as well, especially if someone is bumping his topics more often so that other topics go down fast, which are actually newer ones.

Both are annoying. But you have a stated rule against bumping. Don't punish all of us just because a few don't follw the rules.
