Nope, there is no auto-bump feature, and one won't be added.
To bump your ad, all it takes is a single word ("bump" is a popular one). If you find that "taxing", then I have bad news for you - running a game takes a lot more effort.
Gosh, imagine going to bed and waking up to a response direct from a mod! Cool! I get that running games takes a lot of effort, I'm asking because the task of drumming up more players for a game can be boring/tiresome for a GM that intends to keep adding more players, and the eventually endless thread of "bump" posts could end up driving players away, somewhat making the effort with the existing system self-defeating, i.e. "If this guy can't seem to drum up enough players in the first place, how can I expect the game to last very long? I mean he's been at this for weeks and weeks now, pretty consistently and STILL doesn't have enough players."
If you don't mind me asking, (persuant to horus' slight jibe) is there a particular reason such a convenience feature can't, shouldn't, or won't be possible? Like a technical limitation with the tech or code libraries underlying the site, so this is a mild discouragement from potentially site-breaking behavior; or a philosophical position about the direction of the site and perhaps RPGs in general among the mods, so large or long-running games are disliked among the moderators; or perhaps there's already been an "incident"?
I am (like horus) just curious for context, since it seems I've caught the ear of someone who knows.
