Hello everyone, I'm opening this thread because I noticed that some moderator deleted a post of mine. The post was simply "bump" and i was bumping my thread after 24h of no responses. Is this no more allowed?

It should be allowed as long as you're doing it once every 24 hours. Also, every time you bump your thread, you should be deleting previous "bump" replies. For more info: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5183878.0

You can bump your thread with your post each 24 hours. If nobody replies in your thread after 24 hour and you bump it again, you must delete your past post. 13. Bumps, "updates" are limited to once per 24 hours per thread. Bumping multiple threads at the same time is allowed if it's not annoying. [2][e]
21. Old bumps should be deleted. [2]
Bumping changes on some boards. You can read to understand mini and super bumps.

Say a week ago you posted, then no one else posted in that following week, you would be within your rights to make a "bump" post.
However, If you made a post and then in (example) eight hours time you made an identical post and immediately afterwards deleted the first post from eight hours earlier, then that might be because that you have fresh information and the old post has expired information / is no longer relevant, then that's ok too - as a once off IF you're only doing it the once. If every eight hours you post, but delete the previous post - each and every eight hours, that wears thin to the point people switch off.
There's a well meaning top level user of the forum who bumps just about every thread they've ever created - each and every 24 hours without fail. They're entitled to do so as it's once per 24 hours plus they delete the previous post in keeping within "the rules". But it puts people off of their message. I've had to place them on ignore just because of how incessant seeing their threads daily are. (I wouldn't be surprised to find they might be using a bot to auto post/replace their last posts every day...)
Make no mistake, bumping every 24 hours might sound attractive, but it puts a great many people off reading your thread.

Thank you for all the answers, I will delete my "bump" posts before making a new one. I'm not very used to bump my threads so I missed this rule. I was just trying to attract some comment. I got the concept, but for example here I was adding a new link (second post) and reflecting about the choice of the moderator to move it (third post), although I wrote "bump" everytime I was also adding something to the discussion. But I got the general concept.

If you want to add information in your bumps, you can copy information from your previous bumps to your new bump when you are deleting your old bumps. Or you can copy information from your old bumps to the OP or a reserved post that is immidiately after the OP.

You're better off just adding the new information to the main post by editing it. Not only that it's the right way to do it, but it's going to look a lot cleaner for the readers as well. Just add "EDIT:" or "EDIT #x:" if you want the readers to know that the new information was just recently added. Probably add time/date stamps if you want to be more specific.

If you want to add a new information to a thread, it doesn't have to include the word 'bump', you could use update, alert or any other phrase to indicate it's an important information. Not every new reply should be a bump, this way you do not have to delete your previous replies when making a new one. This is one of the reasons users reserve a few replies after the OP to add new information.
Also, bumps are limited to every 24 hours, but you do not have to cut it clean, ideally only bump when necessary, or it could seem like you're trying to force engagements.

I see so many threads like OP's but in the service announcement boards or Announcement boards where the original poster keeps adding new consecutive posts of what seems like updates. An example is this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4452719.40Does the rule apply in this case too? Because I don't see any deletions getting done there.

Not all rules a verbally stated on the forum. There are ethics for which we can apply using common sense. The form might not have stated that bumming a post after a definite time frame is wrong neither has it stated that, bumping threads must or should follow a time frame limit but, common sense should apply at this point.
A post might be so direct or almost understood and vice versa conclusively that, a single comment might not surface on it. That doesn't mean, the post wasn't seen or read. It is an indication that people's perception on it was conclusive and didn't require any of such comments.
Bumping of a post shouldn't be based on be based on the fact that, it wasn't seen or wasn't read just enough or it haven't been met with those for whom it was intended. For all we care, those for which it was intended might have seen it and still furge ahead without a reaction hence, you don't force it on them.
Reasons for which one might bump a post could range from: * A reminder on a plea though, it could still come in a pm to the intended if any and necessary. * A continued merit awarding thread * An updated info on the thread * A service thread of some sort * ...and the least keeps going on and on.
No comments on post doesn't mean it wasn't seen or read enough. A quick check on the views list would clear your doubts on it and you find a qay to be at peace with yourself or even still, delete the post. Do Not Bump A Post Unnecessarily!

I opened a similar thread a few months ago to ask a question regarding the bumping rules. I thought the rules had changed because I noticed that my bumps were getting deleted although they weren't breaking any forum rules. I didn't bump my threads more than once in a 24-hour period and I always deleted old bumps. It turns out that admins sometimes delete bumps if additional posts by you or other users were made after the bump. That's because the bump has served its purpose and is no longer needed because the new posts bump the thread anyways.
