Reply without bumping?

I don't think its gonna be effective cause if there are less people who can see on that post then it's hard to caught that scammers.

Exactly, but that's just one of the many reasons why no bump replies are a bad thing to the forum's ecosystem as I like to call it. Having no bumps when you reply to a topic no matter how old the topic is means that necro posters would have the easy time to discretely pumping their post counts by replying to old posts that don't seem relevant, without the bump in that old topic, people wouldn't easily check if there's been an anomaly, a closer inspection would reveal the abuse but it's not everyday that someone's have the time to check on profiles of each people here in the forum. Another thing is updates, if you don't bump old topics that needed an update, things would be left in question for so many people and who knows what might hurt when people don't know about the updates because it wasn't bumped, it's kind of like in a game, if you haven't heard about the new updates to the mechanics, you will have a hard time navigating the game for awhile.

That does pose a problem.

Is it possible to reply to a topic without bumping it? I think this would be a very useful way to warn others of scammers, trolls and suspicious posts without bumping the thread to the top where more people can see.

You need to make some consideration before making the reply instead of bumping, though there is nothing bad at least in making a bump once a week or so, as for the reply, if you're not the last that replied o same thread and you feel like there is more to add as an additional information concerning the thread, then feel free to make your reply, we also bump in other to avoid spamming because you will discover some are just making post without having any quality content in them.
