PM theymos and ask him for an exception to not having your old consecutive bump-like posts merged and if he PMs me about making an exception for your thread, I will stop merging said posts. Until then, I personally don't think your thread warrants an exception, at least when compared to similar threads.
I can try to do that, but I don't think it makes much sense, because this is not a simple "bump".
If no one made posts on this topic, I would make a post every month with the statistics from the previous month. It doesn't make sense for me to respond to a user and then be limited in making a subsequent post, just because no one responds.
I think that each case is different, and not everything should be analyzed in the same way. It's just my opinion.
I ask for common sense please.
I'd say
this post is a workaround for the bumping rule, but I don't think it makes the forum any better

Exactly. This doesn't make things better, it just partially solves the situation.
I don't want to go against the work of the moderators. I just think that the forum is dynamic, and each case should be evaluated in different ways. But maybe that's just my point of view, I'm sorry.
