Maybe jrlepage should make it more clear that bumping ancient shit is not welcome, because clearly, new people can't figure that out on their own.
Maybe use a strike-system. Simply have a .xls file, and when someone breaks the rule, have their name recorded in it, with a number in the next column. And if said person breaks the rule 5 times, BOOM BAN.
Yeah, the thread bumping rules should definitely be much more clear and more strongly enforced.
Sticky a locked thread in SOYW dedicated to the one rule, maybe?
If I had more control over user's permissions I'd do that, yeah. But as it is now, the most I can do is delete offending posts; in order to get people banned I have to make a request to jsr and he's pretty busy so it takes time, and way too much of it.
When the forum gets upgraded to phpBB3 (which will probably happen when 0.3.8 goes into a stable release), then trolls/idiots/people with no forum etiquette should brace themselves.

you could ask jsr to make an entirely locked subforum where you split these unnecessary bumps from the rest of the thread and move the bumps to that subforum
