Under Consideration Have mods be able to not bump a thread when they close it.

Yes, I'm looking at you @Trading Post .
The whole point of bumps is to improve visibility, and bumping closed sales threads seems like the exact opposite of what we want whether OP requested them closed or the moderation team decided that.

Especially now that it takes time for threads to get to page 2.

What about the solution I mentioned here?

Under Consideration - Remove (or hide) the content of closed trading post threads

Pretty much self explanatory, I think. Don't let users access closed sales threads's content.

Closed sales listings can then be moved to the archived sales listings section. This way, we can set it so that threads in the Archive section don’t show up on the homepage as well.

It kinda solves it, but as the forum grows, mods with lock more and more threads, so allowing a mod post to not bump the thread makes sense in non-trading-post threads.

An alternative would be to not allow locked threads in the homepage, but then we'll miss announcements threads as well.
