The pool gallery has been getting spammed a lot with description updates for ancient pools, lately. There is also the problem of multi-chapter comics, where you want to link prior chapters to a newly posted one but that requires bumping all the old pools at once.
If marking specific updates as non-bumpable is too complex (even though the option exists for post comments, where it is far less useful), could there at least be a filter option to exclude pools marked as inactive?
