Not sure if this was posted before, but to get rid of people bumping their own post when no one else responds to it, just take off the reply button for a person's own post, and that way, they can't reply but they can still edit.

Okay after this discussion, I'm not sure what I am doing. I create a new topic and wait for people to respond. As soon as someone responds I reply to what he said. Is this bumping aswell because my thread gets up to front page again? Sometimes I do this because I consider the thread to be of general interest.
