IE the same end result except that they will be directing their annoyance at the LS leaders instead of just random LS members/interested parties. That may actually become a bigger problem and then more meetings will be redacted when LS leaders complain to other LS leaders that they are bumping their thread unfairly.
If this forum system is anything like PHPBB, maybe place all LS leaders into a separate "group" so that you can apply permissions to just that group to post in the LS section. But still, the above problem will likely come up anyway.
Restricting the Linkshell Hall to linkshell leaders crossed my mind as well, but I'm afraid it would make it so that members cannot create their linkshells freely, they'd have to wait for a moderator to give them the permissions.
As for people trying to bump their threads with contrived updates, I think that's fine so long as they actually have an actual update. After a while it might be hard to find something new to say about their linkshell.
