Yeah I do not like writing posts when it is not necessary, i.e. where I can update my previous post. This reduces unnecessary clutter. Apparently the rule fits, and we should examine on case by case basis (not sure if I'm allowed to quote anyone). This still means that some moderator can 'feel' like you're doing this for the wrong reasons (e.g. increasing post count swiftly) and you could get into trouble. It's best to avoid.

A bump would be something like:"bump", "up", etc. However, when you're adding more information to the thread by making a new post (when nobody has posted since your last one), you're actually bumping it up via a 'update'. That was what I was trying to say. I was on my smartphone and have not noticed that one. If someone is obviously trolling just report the post and it will be dealt with swiftly.

Good. A combination of more links per post and colors should still enable you to get your desired effect in addition to it following guidelines more closely.
