Yes, I mean the What's New page. And yes, I had to resort to that. But I, and I think many others like me, do not want to ignore the whole market place, sometimes you find a new good deal worth your attention. I had to manually select posts and ignore them one by one. Still, it showed me the same posts sometimes.

Don't want to ignore it but don't want them to show on the new post, one cannot get both... Right.

Ignore the whole section and visit it once a day or whenever u want to.

Front page? U mean to say the new post?

Member those who have problem with Market section can ignore the whole market section that will block all the threads from market place on new post.

Wrong! That's not what he meant.

People who have too many sale threads at once just tend to bump all their threads at the same time which means the 1st page of classifieds becomes their own private ad space. That is what's annoying to other sellers/buyers.
If you're there with your one thread and that gets pushed out of the first page within an hour or less due to such things, it is indeed annoying.

Are these two options mutually exclusive?

There are plenty of other members commenting the same on this very thread. People don't like a bunch of old threads from any one member taking over WHAT'S NEW page or even CLASSIFIED page.
Bumps are fine, but we shouldn't make it difficult for other members by drowning their single sale post in an avalanche of stale threads with 5-6 pages of just bumps.

Why is this so controversial? It seems simple enough. People like Classified section and don't want to ignore it, and at the same time, people hate it being overrun/abused by a fraction of people with countless threads being bumped up at the same time.

Stale thread?

Just coz someone is not able to sell it does It means it's useless. Someone will buy that perticular item someday. Bumping it for months does not makes a difference.

There is a simple workaround.

1. Those who don't want to see the market place post can ignore the whole section.

2. If they want the market section still don't want to see it in new post can ignore and check the market directly from the market place link.

3. Mods can linit the sale thread max 3/4/5 (What ever mods decides) at a time or if no limit then a member can bump his/her thread once ever 48 hours or 24 hours incase of multiple threads but a perticular thread can only be bumped after 48hours.

I found a new "Bump Thread" option next to the thread title. Clicking on it seems to reset the last post's date & time to current values effectively "bumping" the thread up without creating a new post. Another side effect is that the last post becomes editable again.

The cooldown period has been implemented via this bump button.

Have enabled bump limitation of 48 hours. Threads won't bump up before that. Lets see how that pans out.

thanks mod - just needed some clarification if possible - as I have multilple threads and I just bumped them all -

But I guess there are some disagreements. Eitherways would love to mutually comply in all possble ways to keep it together hence requesting clarification
Thanks again

Well, it's good that you are self-aware of your multiple threads but you could also be proactive in avoiding to bump them all at once to allow fair chance to other sellers to be in front page.
You could bump say 2 threads per day or have only 2 threads on frontpage and bump other threads later when your currently bumped threads are pushed back to 2nd page. Just an idea to self-manage this until rules are enforced if any.

Thank you for noticing man - appreciate it.

wrt fair/unfair I really never had to think about it since 2009 up until now when the bump thing was stopped with no clear instructions.

Having said that - regardless of being proactive - the instructions/guidelines/rules in published form will be more helpful in my opinion as each one of us have different opinions and to put it in actual effect
instructions/guidelines/rules are essential.

Again happy to witness some dialogue with action and like I said will try in my capacity the best to comply in keeping it together towards the spirit of the forum [emoji120]

If someone with one thread feeling bulldozed by multiple bumps of multiple threads (for eg myself) then i would like to stress that this is/was not intentional and that was being done for over a decade under the forum rules by many members.

If a concensus is required now then Yes we have to be mindful for such instances however instructions/guidelines/rules are a must to avoid unwanted conversations.

My bumps from this thread are missing!!

WTB - 6GB RAM 4G Android Phone (Snapdragon) under/around 5,000

Guess everybody is upgrading to 5G these days. And that makes it more likely to have a leftover 4G handset. So here we are... I am looking for a snapdragon based Android with 6 GB RAM. Strictly Snapdragon as I want custom ROMs. Do tell if you have a 4GB RAM Android too. I am heavily inclined...

Your suggestions seem to favor only the market section, and telling to ignore the marketplace entirely is well, not a solution.
I, like @buzz88 , also use the Whats New page all the time to get a gist of all the activity that's happening in TE. More often than not, that page is covered with stale threads with pages of bumps.

I think the solution would be to only include brand new market place posts in Whats New, and remove bumped / active threads. Or maybe, just have a filter to exclude / include old posts or something. That way we have some degree of control. The problem here is that non marketplace threads with interesting discussions will also get filtered out, but at least we get the option to disable or enable all or nothing.

What's New should show only New posts for non-market threads, and only new threads (not bumps) for marketplace. That will prevent TechEnclave from becoming BumpEnclave (again).

Revoked privilege to post in marketplace, can't bump and threads disappear. Mods cannot be contacted by DMs, Forum basically forces to wash dirty laundry in public. TE moderation is going militant gradually.
