To Sage or not To Sage

I think we can all agree that a post should only bump a thread if it is meaningful enough to warrant the top spot on the thread list. However, it shouldn't be up to the poster, or any /prog/ USER whether or not a post is meaningful. It should be decided by /prog/ itself.

Self-bumping as a choice only encourages shit posters to use sage as a conveyance of their disapproval and nothing more. Not to mention the countless missuses of bumping and sage by competent programmers.

I suggest all posts be sages by default and the /prog/ servers be updated to include functionality that supports autobumping good threads when they need it.

Threads should only be bumped when information is presented that is important, and it is vital that it is distributed to everyone.  Starting a new thread might be a better idea.
