Feature description
When a staff action (e.g., "Close Topic", "Pin Topic") is performed on a topic, a special post ("small action post") is automatically added to the topic.
Please add a setting that allows administrators to control whether small action posts will cause the topic to be bumped.
Current behavior
The topic is bumped when a staff action causes the creation of a small action posts. This is often not helpful to the users.
For example, when a topic is closed due to the "Auto-close topic after" category setting, there is absolutely no benefit in surfacing that topic to users.
The user's "Unread" topic list is polluted with topics which don't have any activity of interest.
