The title says it all. At least I am more and more annoyed by that. If I want to read old topics, I can go read old topics. In the latest feed I want latest topics. I’d like to hear some arguments why the feature is on.
I’m mostly annoyed by it too.
Several times, though, I’ve used those bumps to provide an answer to the question that is possible now. This keeps people from finding those old topics and using outdated information.
Most of the time they’re just closed by a staff member.

I think it’s a great feature for admins and moderators to handle topics like support tickets. But I understand, that some people are annoyed of it.
It might be a more general question: But who benefits from this? Why isn’t the Discourse team implementing a real ticket system by default? ;oP We already have a unofficial plugin that adresses this issue 
Maybe there should be a profile setting, therefore individual users are able to opt-out …

It has and still does feel a lot like a “staff clean up” feature to me. I have been in the habit of periodically reverse sorting by activity on the topic list to find old topics that have been resolved / become moot / gone stale.
I can see where in theory it could be a desireable feature for some members. But from what I’ve seen here, most of the necro bumps do not get further replies and are closed.
The necro bumps do make the topics lists noisy and as soon as I see the “bumped” small action post if the topic hasn’t already been closed I typically give a quick glance at the topic title to see if I might be interested. But so far I have always gone “oh” and click away.
IMHO, an improvement would be to undo the bump when the topic is closed. True, there is the possibility someone will create a fresh “continued from” topic, but I think for the majority having the topics quietly fade away without notice would be better.

Most of the old bumped topics I delete, so for me, it’s a reminder to delete really out of date topics. About 1 in 10 are worth editing and keeping around, though, so it’s not always the same outcome.
It is fair to note that this is kind of an anti-feature for actual users of Meta who don’t already work for CDCK, Inc @sam

So what is bumping these old topics? I don’t see a setting that does this.
Also - so you’re deleting the topics? What’s the thought process there? We have a bunch of old stuff and wondering a good process with Discourse.

Some of us are getting something positive from this daily annoyance.
I’m interested in how you run the Discourse operation so even the annoying stuff teaches me something. The biggest positive is seeing how many old problems have been resolved in the meantime.

Edit a category, it’s there in the settings.

Because a lot of the people who interact and answer those requests are fellow community members.
I think it’s a bit of a narrow view to suggest that there isn’t value in having old topics bumped, it serves as a reminder of how certain things came to be, allows old interesting threads to be updated with the current solution or approach, and means some of the old cruft that would otherwise linger gets removed.

I like to read old topics that I would not have seen without this feature. Reading them you begin to better understand what is now. This is on this site.
As a community administrator on my site, I likewise like this feature. Sometimes there are topics with which you need to do something. This is a kind of reminder.

Ahh so it’s in Category settings. The setting only mentions how many to auto bump daily… What is the trigger for one to be included in that?

Oldest gets bumped first…

虽然我完全理解自动顶帖对 Discourse 审核团队的价值，但我发现这些帖子往往缺乏实效，甚至让我这样的普通用户感到烦扰。通常，我会被某个有趣的标题吸引，满怀热情地进入帖子，准备提供支持或学习新知，结果却发现帖子内容已经过时。我深知 Discourse 团队会尽快清理这些帖子，但我每天仍会遇到 2-3 次这种情况，说实话，这真的令人沮丧。
能否为这些自动顶帖的帖子添加一个标识？这将帮助用户了解此处并无新的用户贡献，他们也可以自行决定是否阅读这些帖子。
顺便一提，我不确定“手指”图标是否是最佳选择（在我看来，它暗示的是用户主动发起的“提醒”）。像这样的图标感觉更相关且中立：

你已经有了一项功能：
超浅灰色表示主题非常久远。
在我看来，这更像是：
Sam，我明白你想清理旧的混乱，但为什么这是我的问题？
我多次有过这种感受，@david 过去也提出过同样的问题。我认为这非常相关且合理。此外，还有其他清理这些旧混乱的方法。
-
我们可以简单地自动关闭那些陈旧、久远的支持帖（标记为过时）
-
我们可以将最后一条帖子标记为未读，仅对特定用户可见（甚至可以通过某种公平队列机制），以确保它被顶起，但不会 clutter 未读列表
我想，在我们着手构建新系统之前，先做一个非常简单的改动吧。
之前我们将此设置为每天 12 次顶起，我刚刚将其减少到每天 3 次。让我们看看大家是否对这种减少后的频率更满意。
另外，我在想，@codinghorror，我们是否应该开始简单地“自动关闭”那些久远的支持帖……如果某个帖子在 Support 中一年都没有任何反响，就直接自动关闭它？

哦。这听起来很棒！三次不会那么烦人。我有几次在那些旧话题中添加了内容，但并不频繁，我的感受和 @bartv 一样。

这很有用，我之前一直没注意到，直到你刚才指出来。改为每天最多“顶帖”3 个主题听起来不错，谢谢！

我总是查看参与者图标列表。如果系统头像排在最后，我就知道是顶帖了。

我一直在批量删除像 bug 和 support 这样嘈杂分类中的非常古老的帖子。目前看来，2013 年至 2016 年的帖子应该已经全部清理完毕。
仅仅关闭是不够的。必须彻底删除，否则我们会留下许多无用且过时的搜索陷阱。

谢谢提示。: +1:
现在我查看“最新”列表中的用户图标，如果是系统用户则忽略。
