I think this sort of activity slightly undermines the forums post count regulations. After all, they require X amount of posts to allow images in signatures. If threads like this were common, it would encourage more people to just throw in a useless post such as "bump" in order to get their post count up without it being "random spam."
Maybe if you specify some more strict rules to this; such as ignoring posts that are unrelated or just "bumps."
Anyway, just my 2 bitcents (play on words?)
Also I am disqualifying this post.
Good luck with it either way :-/
Oh, come on. They already have this noob forum already. It is kinda hard to get out of there if you are not very talkative and just want to discuss this-one-thing-you-have-registered-for.
