Bumping sale threads

vishl01 · 2012-04-18 20:14:54

Can we have a limit as to how many times you can bump? It is annoying that some folks keep bumping their sale thread even after 1 week.

There should be limit of 7 bumps, after that a moderator should close the thread - read only

Yeah OK
But I'd go with 3 bumps ,I'll pull the pin after the third bump

less the bettter.

3 bumps and you're out sounds good.

Do three in one day and you're gone !

Well after 3 bumps ,lets say 3 days ,you either want to much
Or people just aren't buying , I put up a 10oz bar free to good home + $350 postage
And ofcourse nobody bought it ,but after 2 weeks of no bumps , a US newbie bought it ,
SO people do look at the old sales threads

There's some threads that have been bumped for 3 turtling months

spannermonkey · 2012-04-18 20:29:45

Maybe a surcharge after the third bump
1oz silver for each bump after number three
1oz gold after number ten
The boss would be rich & I could charge a commission for the idea & policing it

Oh god a bump limit would be great as the same items with unrealistic prices keep getting bumped up covering the other sale thus a vicious cycle of bumping perpetuates.

And no cheating by getting a mate to ask a question thereby bumping the thread

Call out the Bump police!!!! Too much bumping. Gotta stop that illicit bumping. Can't have too much unmanagable bumping going on. Bump, bump, bump!

I am starting to wonder when would be the appropriate time to Nazi salute?

-1 policing bumps

I was never ever never ever bothered by people bumping sale threads.

Anyone whom is in the market to buy will see your thread whether or not you bump.

I'm with Redback (cause I prefer minority). Pointless to police bumps.
However, if there were literally one page full of new sale threads being created daily, then I can understand policing bumps.

Of course, if there are excessive bumps within a small time window (such as seconds/minutes) this ought to be policed. Though, depends on the 'added' content.

For example,
There was a time I had up 20x ASEs going cheap. Since I was in need of quick money I was bumping and dropping price every couple of minutes. Redback came to my aid again.
Swear at one time I ended up going well below spot.
Done the next best thing; bribed GP with it.

I am also up for a limit of 3 bumps. And its a good idea.

But seriously, I'm with the OP on this one. I'm sick and tired of having to take responsibility for my own internet reading and wanking watching. It shouldn't be up to me to make my own decisions to skip pointless threads, bumped sales and RC's hebrewphobic premium princess rants, so, I'm all for a huge police presence. Bring it on now. Protect me from my own stupidity and laziness. I got a list of members who would make ideal Forum-Fuzz.

Right, can I name them?

mmm....shiney! · 2012-04-18 21:44:53

And spanner, you would be the 3rd last member I would ever consider putting on that list.
