Create ability to automatically up post for Premium/Supreme users

[Mr_Jacksonville]

I know that another forum does this, and I think it would be really cool to implement it on here as well. So basically, people can set a timer for the system to automatically up their post(s) by an increment of 24 hours, but cannot be run simultaneously. However, because this is a very large forum, there should probably be a limit of, say 5 to 10, max threads you can auto up per account.

We've already had a half-dozen autobump suggestions.
What this will result in is simply a bunch of mostly dead threads being constantly bumped, and the users becoming less active because they dont need to watch the thread, just turn on email notifications and wait.
Not to mention it will actually result in LESS time on the front page. Let's say there's 20 spots on front page, and 100 threads. assuming a full 24h cooldown and even distribution, that would mean your thread would be on the front page for a little under 4 hours each time.
However, if it's manual, someone might forget to bump it, or they might be unable to bump because they're busy. because its 24h + a few minutes, the time they up will slowly shift. If they forget, you would have another 25 mins or so on front page, until the next thread bumps you out.
With auto-bumps, this all becomes automated like a machine. We might as well give up being a forum and just become a digital shop like so many other sites if we do that.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.
