Bumping regulations

Jun 13, 2006 10:14am
I think bumping posts are becoming abused to the point where individuals are doing it by the hour. I propose a bump limit of once a week that do not count towards posts requiring replies or price notifications. How 'bout it?

i think more like once a day would be good. oh and bumps shouldn't count as posts.

Oh well. It was just an idea that compromised the rules at arniesairsoft.co.uk where bumping is not allowed at all - but this is sacair. I neglected how much work it would take or rather think how ridiculous it may have sounded. Thanks.

you could create a bump button or bump option in the topic, which could bump the topic without it counting towards your number of posts.

I think what it boils down to is using common sense. I think asking moderators/admins to monitor "bumps" is ridiculous personally. It would take FAR too much time to do such a thing. I think that if you make a post in the classified area you should bump it no more than once every two or three days depending upon the level of traffic in the private seller section.

Let's have a filter that makes it so if you post more than 3 times a day, a fiery ball comes down from the sky and burns your house down. Good idea guys!

We'll the bump limit thing is interesting but... once they run out they'll just bump anyways... or my favorite is when they find new details about the gun... or item... its not a bump its just more description, there's no way around it.
