Auto bump feature for threads
I'd like a option to have threads be auto bumped (every 24 hours) this would make threads less work to up keep there are alot of ways you could go about adding this feature but I think it would be useful and maybe you could pay tc for each bump or something so it wouldn't be over used or just left on forever

What I don't understand is, how is this tedious? If you're subscribing to a thread you want to pay special attention to, why is the thought of having to visit it and make a post so repulsive? Wouldn't setting your thread to auto-bump be tedious as well? With that logic, maybe you also like the idea of everyone's items on the market auto-bumping every 24 hours. It doesn't make sense for things like this to be automatic, think about if these small benefits to a small number of people are worth it.
EDIT: to your defense of "well, people are gonna be charged to use this auto-bump feature, it'll be a nice TC sink"; there are many ways of sinking TC that aren't being put to use, there's no need for that at the moment.
I don't think that having to pay to use this should be considered. There's a reason for it. After going to your own thread to make a post asking for comments or just to update it is a little annoying to me because I'm curious for how many actual posts I have made that were just "hey guys u didn't comment on my replay can you say something about it?"
I support this because I only want it on boards/threads that ask for criticism, since threads are basically unique and aren't something like an item(you could just keep listing the item) on the market they should have something to auto bump even if it has a limit as to like 3-4 bumps before you cant use it again. Maybe even 2.
If having this would be useless since everyone would have it, instead of it being behind a tc charge why don't you have it be a tool for Prime/VIP members?
The art and replay boards are people asking for help on how to get better, more often than not there's always a few bumps because of the thread having no activity. Having this on the art board shouldn't be a problem because there isn't a million threads created or bumped each day. I don't really see a reason to not have this, it would just make things a little easier
yeah im lazy so what
If nobody comments on your stuff on the internet then it's probably not worth being commented. Having it auto-bumped each 24h would only get others annoyed.
As for market, if you're too lazy to bump your own thread then it's your fault. It's you trying to sell/buy stuff after all, which means that you can invest several seconds of your time into making a one-word post.

im kind of tired of seeing that argument on this thread dose anyone have any reasons why this shouldn't be implemented like how this could be abused or something not just the argument you're lazy if you cant bump your own thread?
“Aaah rum zum zum aaah rum zum zum booly booly booly booly booly rum zum zum”
I'm pretty sure both of sir's reasons are completely valid, as well as firebolty's.
If you want an argument for how it can be abused, think for like 5 seconds.
Person A values an item at 50k, but has plenty of money.
Person B has the same item valued at 10k, but no money to bump his thread.
Person A bumps his thread for his far overpriced item and it's bought, and he can then sell more items in the same fashion.
Person B makes no profit, even though his prices are fair.
See the issue?

I think I might be retired.
