Bump Reset plugin - Annotated to help new devs

Hi!

So I’m aware of this and also changing the time stamps of the topic. However I have used this plugin before and it stopped working but I think it’s quite an important feature:

At times there will be topics which people bump up and they aren’t really spamming but also you might not want them to show up first on the feed. Therefore bumping up to the previous post is quite useful, instead of deleting the post.

For example, let’s say I reply on a post talking about a feature on discourse from 2017. You might not want to close the topic or unlist it, nor would you want to delete my reply, but you might not want it to bump so other users might start thinking it’s actually “news”. Or if there’s a heated discussion that may cause some provocation but doesn’t quite require flagging, you might want to not let it rise to the top of the discussion board again.
Just two example on top of my head.

Is there any elegant way to achieve this?
