I remember that back in the days, there was an unwritten rule that if you updated an image, YOU also wrote what was the update and it should be a significant change to the image.
I didn't knew of that unwritten rule, buy I agree with you.
BTW: just to let you know, I'm going to update the comments in all my pics 
Actually in the Posting Policy we already have something similar about that:
Quote:
Reposting Art Work:
Please refrain from posting the same image or slight reworks of your images. If you have only a slight modification, ask a Moderator to swap it out for your original. You can even edit your original post description text to bump your picture back to the top and make note that you modded it. If you have gone back and improved your image and want to re-post it. Make sure of 3 things:
1-you have significantly improved or changed the image.
2-you did not just post the original image and it is still on the front page. The longer the lapse between original and re-work the better.
3-it is something people want to see again.
Sorry Jr, I had to go read it again.
The fact is that I, personally think that this rule is kinda out dated as by my understanding was written when the site run with a previous version (maybe Hawk can explain better...), however I do think that could apply to the "updates without any reason /just to bump the image to the front page" issue.
The real thing here is in my opinion, we are supossed to have fun and share our art, but we also should respect our fellow members. Part of that respect is by following the posting policy, but also not be selfish and keep bumping images just because.
Maybe we should, like Jr said, write a rule about that(or at least, re-write that piece I quoted), but I personally don't want to see this place full of rules just because some members can't think about the rest of the community and think their art is so good it should have tons of hits.
Mind you, I'm not saying they don't make good art. What I'm saying is that we already have the 3 images per 24 hours rule to give a chance to all members (great, good or bad) to have their images displayed in the front page for some time and to display fresh new images there as well.
That was a rule that from what I heard from older members was requested.
Of course, if some members starts abusing the ability to update his/hers images just to bump them to the top of the gallery, that might upset some members and maybe the mods have to make something about it.
That's my 2 cents on this subjet, anyway...
