So you
are evaluating the reason for a bump.

Of course you would. Without one, the reason can't be evaluated.

How can that reason be evaluated if you insist a reason doesn't need to be offered? Whether you call it formal or not, you're now putting the mods into a position of evaluating the reason for bumps and putting the posters into a position of having to justify those bumps. That's idiotic, on both fronts.
