Classifieds 3 Day Bump Rule
13 June, 2011, 14:27
A new plugin has been installed that can be setup to not allow users to be able to post on their own threads within a given time.
I would like to find out from the users if you think that once set in place you would want to stick to the 3 day bump rule, or if you would like that reduced to 2 days. Unfair bumps on sales threads will be impossible once the plugin is enabled, and any and all information that needs to be added can be either added after the time limit, or via PMing a mod if it is important information.
The origonal reason for the 3 day bump rule was because there were so many listings per day, however with the new sections I think it might allow for a shorter time period, hence asking this question.
Please let me know your opinions on this only, all other 'suggestions' will be removed from the thread.
Thanks

This would make problems when selling parts as you would be unable to say what has been sold and what is still for sale. Would probly end up with your inbox full of people triyin to buy the same thing.
Pay with pain!!

Re: Classifieds 3 Day Bump Rule
2 days would be better, although maybe still have a 3 day bump on some of the more empty classifieds forums, such shotguns + launchers.
Is there any way that users would be able to post updates without this bumping the thread?

How many possible PMs could you get inside of the 2-3 day rule?
2-3 days before you can update on sold items (in a multiple item listing) realy isnt that long.
Personaly im up for a trial of a 2 day bump time.

Re: Classifieds 3 Day Bump Rule
I like..... the fact you have to contact mods to update important info should make people think more about the content before pressing submit.
Could be a postive move all round

Re: Classifieds 3 Day Bump Rule
Trialling the 2 day would be good, although it means a new system that old members must acclimatise to - and remember, there's still many people who don't know they can close their own threads.

But isn't that what is/ should be happening already?
Please get in touch if you want general help. Please report problematic posts.
Take responsibility for your choices. If you break any rule in life, you should be held accountable.

Re: Classifieds 3 Day Bump Rule
I would be very happy with 2days, plus the plug-in sounds awesome will finally stop those un-fair bumps.

Re: Classifieds 3 Day Bump Rule
If anything, with more sections... 3 days.
1. Less items per section, means more time on the first page already.
2. Not sure about anybody else, I don't use sections. Just click "New Posts" and skim what comes up. So a 2 day bump would increase the same things coming back over and over!

That's a good point. I was ready to say 2 days, but in light of Jag's comment I'd say stick with 3.

Re: Classifieds 3 Day Bump Rule
With the high turnover of posts, 3 should be fine.
If the edit window could be extended on just that section, that would be very helpful. If we have to PM mods with edit requests, they are going to be hammered with messages day in, day out.
Some forums have a system where classified ads have to be approved by a grown up before becoming visible to mortals. This could enable more accurate posts, but again more work for the mods.
