Hello,

I noticed now 3 times on topic list the topics are just bumping to top seems to without any reason. The first one I noticed was Jay’s topic yesterday [More descriptive warning when recategorising a topic into a category with moderator approval](https://meta.discourse.org/t/more-descriptive-warning-when-recategorising-a-topic-into-a-category-with-moderator-approval/218724)

And now [Team Badges on post container](https://meta.discourse.org/t/team-badges-on-post-container/234549) this one.  
It seems to last activity was few mins ago but it’t actually was 3 days ago and nothing changed inside the topic. No pencil’s on posts etc…

Now this topic also bumped up [Moving from Tribe to Discourse](https://meta.discourse.org/t/moving-from-tribe-to-discourse/234605) without any reason. Seems the latest activity was minutes ago but it’t actually was 3 days ago.

Sorry if I missed something…but why these topics bumped up? Thanks 🙂

Any change to metadata will do this, e.g. Tagging, Title or Category … could it be that?

(I find this a little bit annoying on one of my sites as I constantly update Tags and find the bumping undesirable - i’m just trying to re-categorise history).

Yeah but there is no changes on OP. If tag, category or title changes than it would appear the pencil to view changes 🤔

It’s from where a spam post has been deleted, but the topic hasn’t had a ‘reset bump date’ to pop it back where it belongs 👍
