Revised F/S forum "bump" rule....
I personally think that our 2 bump limit is stupid. I do understand that we have to keep people from bumping all the time, but it's a waste of space and time to have to write 20 threads to sell one item because you're only allowed to bump it twice before it's closed. I propose that the bump rule should be changed to one bump per day, with unlimited bumps on a thread. I see no reason why having to write a new thread would provide any benefit to anyone.

one bump a day is too much, it would be a pissing match for people bumping their threads for the day and extremely hard to track.

Pretty much every seller on the forum bumps their threads once a day. The forum wouldn't be one single bit more competitive then it already is. The forum would be far less cluttered and take up less memory since there are less threads though.

Secondly, right now the classified mod only has to look over the thread to see the number of bumps. If you make it a daily limit, then the mod has to look at every thread and every post and take into account the time and day. See where that would take more time?

My biggest issues with the two bump rule is the hassle of creating thread after thread, and the clutter it creates in the F/S forum. I would think that the biggest benefit for zilvia.net would be the reduction of trash F/S threads. Hell I can't even close my own dead F/S threads anymore like I used to. All thost threads have to take up a considerable amount of memory. |

I also think that this rule will reduce the need for moderation. If you can bump your thread once a day and not have to hassle with re-writing it then what's the point of breaking the rules? Right now people always try to squeeze in the extra bumps because they're too lazy to re-write their threads, even though it's as easy as copying it and pasting it... |

Have you guys ever been to PB nation? They run the same forums as you, they implemented an actual, clickable, bump button that lets you bump every 8 or 12hours. Simply click it and your thread goes to the top, posts are irrelevant i think.

how many of these threads are there going to be? we have many of these threads of people asking why the bump limit is 2 and it's been covered before here.

Also, I think the bump button is a good idea but should be reserved for premium members and advertisers since they already contribute to the forum and a special perk like that would be nice. It gives incentives for signing up for the $10 a year premium membership also.
Some people might bitch about having to pay $10 just to have the ability to have a bump button, but it helps with the cluster, they're selling shit anyways so what's $10 a year, and I think it helps out the forum. Good luck |

Yes I know there are other threads on this, although I haven't read them. I'm just hoping that this one might help where the others didn't... |

Get us the info on how to make the bump button happen, and I'd definitely be willing to look into it.
The reasoning behind the bump limit is that I/we got tired of seeing 8 page threads with only one user posting in it saying 'bump!/bump it up!/to the top/etc'.

Here is a thread I have on pbnation:
!+~+! DM9 with virtue !+~+! FS *$520 shipped to your door* - PbNation Top left, there is a button that says bump. Every 4 hours, it becomes green to the OP, and they can click it to bump their thread to the top of the forum their item is listed. Obviously, every 4 hours on here would be chaotic. Once every 24 hours would be awesome. |
