Staff Bumping Closed Threads

that and maybe a dozen other threads i see bumped by staff daily that are already closed.
Whether or not I do it depends on each situation. Sometimes additional information is useful or even required to answer why the thread was closed or a vendor/provider is banned.
Other times it is just the need to express a view or opinion.
The fact is in some threads that are closed and no staff comments are added we get complaints and when we do add comments we get complaints.
In effect it takes a very short time to become insensitive to the whining, bitching, and moaning that seems to come with every staff action, especially when disciplining users. A very recent thread referencing me is a perfect example, but if no one does anything wrong how do they get warned, infracted, or banned.

I'm not going to implement a "no bumping closed threads" rule for staff just because it annoys ShareShiz. Most people don't care; you shouldn't let something like this get to you to the point of "really" hating it.
As has been outlined already, there's a plethora of reasons why we sometimes do it. We're staff and we can do these things, deal with it. You remind me of Cobra and how he really really didn't like people quoting the post directly above (unnecessarily bloated the database). :P
Keep pet peeves out of the feedback forum please. I read over this section (in great detail) looking for things that would improve the forum for the majority. Next time you want to suggest something, ask yourself this: Does the majority feel as strongly about this as I do?
