I disagree. The ability to ask for an update for a bug or issue affecting you is important. E.g. I opened a ticket in game and they told me to get the right team I had to open a ticket under the website bug section. The bug is pretty substantial, and yet no one can help me in game and no one is answering me on the forums. So basically, the new forum functionality that you cannot bump your post to the top by replying to your own reply is the ability for them to keep the post trending down if no other users care. Which is fine for non-support related issues, but support related issues should not be treated the same.

I misspoke earlier. Bumping is not borderline bad.

It is explicitly bad.

From Welcome to the Customer Support Forum!:

Do not “bump” posts.

• The act of posting simply to bump a thread is considered spamming. This also includes bumping very old threads for no reason (called “necro bumping” or “necroing”).

They forbid it in the Support sticky, and now they forbid it technically. Problem solved.
