@theymos: can you confirm my edits in your quote (in bold) make it correct?
Mini bumps
If you haven't posted in a topic bumped a topic by posting in it in the last 7 days, posting in it adds 1% of your base bump power to the topic's bump score. Deleted posts count against the 7-day limit, but not the topic's bump score.
Your post bumped
this thread on October 3. So the post you made on September 30 shouldn't have bumped the thread. But there is no post by you in September 24-30.
Have you deleted any posts made in September 24-30?

If what Theymos had said was true, even if 1000 high-merit users are active in a thread and post every day, they would never mini bump the thread. That was not fair.
Yelp, you probably doesn't have any more bump "power".
He has never had bump power from the time the new bumping system was introduced. Because he hasn't earned any merit in the last 365 days.
His bump power will remain zero until he earns a merit.
