What does it mean?
I see people posting "bumb" all the time.
what does it mean?
A 'bump' is posted to bring the topic it's in to the top of the board, and therefore attracting more attention.

:lol: Good use of the word, mam.
Bump is used to bring the topic to the attention of other people in the forum, as it may contain some sort of information useful or intresting to them.

"Bump" is the primitive Latin way of saying
"Loop is my hero and savior I love Loop"

I coulda sworn it was-
"Loop is all knowing, all seeing, and all caring. He is by best friend and role model."

Now now, lets not squable. It can be both. :D
As a detractor of the monosyllabic word I would add only it is a way to bring the topic back to the top of queue, without offering anything additional to the discussion/argument/perspective.
What happens if someone bumps on a regular basis?
If it is considered for actually enocouraging debate or response, likely nothing. If it can bee seen to be SPAM, meaning they are typing bump just to be obnoxious, mods might warn them.
Again, as long as they bump for seemignly good intentions there is no problem.

he gets a warning, because it would be considerd spam.

Well, again, if they typed bump in order to encourage debate, likely would not be a problem. Intent would be the issue. If by Regular basis one meant every post, then yeah. But if by regular basis one meant once a week, possibly nothing, depending.
