There is no rule on it, but I think there should be. If it is a good discussion that died down sure a bump is fine to get it going again. But if it were a small thread or a support thread that was posted 3+ months ago and the OP is no longer even active than bumping shouldn't be allowed.
What does everyone think?
I ignore gravedig reports for now. For me, it's not a problem.
What if the gravedug post is completely spam? Will you delete the post or lock the topic?

Well... DUH!!! Of course it is going down the drain.
I'll trash the post, yes.
theres nothing wrong with it to be honest just when people bump too much
There's nothing wrong with bumping a thread. Personally I doubt Omni would enforce much of a rule on it because it encourages more activity, as long as the bumping doesn't turn into spam.
Well I still report them, I hate people who grave dig, like 90 percent of the time it was a lq post as well.

Well.. Sometimes you don't have a lot of options in what to say when you still need comments on a topic. But you'll notice the spam bumping when they bump within the first day or so for no reason. I admit I bumped my thread that I created for a Linux issue I was having, but it consisted of newer updated information that could possibly help the replier solve my problem with the freezing.

Yes, that was my point. When I click "View new posts" to reply to everything that interests me and I see 40 new posts with the latest reply from
one same new member I get angry. I want to contribute and read new things where I can help or learn from the OP.

Perfect example of a good bump.
