Should there be a limitation on bumps?

Try it once. You will be surprised.

@mods atleast make it 1 bump in 4 days for each thread . It will allow us to keep some track of our stuffs not sold and push forward to meet prospective buyers.
One cannot just keep decreasing price or add some other relevant info to their thread to push it forward.

What’s gonna happen is the person with their thread currently at the top is gonna wait until everyone below bumps their thread, and then they’re gonna bump their own thread. So in the end nothing changes, and it’s just a rat race.

@mods is it possible to show a threads randomly when someone clicks on BST link?

cant even bump once a month?

Kalyug has ended for normal users here - they have attained moksh from having to see bumps on year(s) old threads :slight_smile:

*Moved from :-

4 season Tent at about Half Price(Almost new) - Closed Market Listings - TechEnclave*

Can’t believe this was up for over 2 years! I was not here for a long time and this was the thread I had last seen. So many bumps! Is this a record for the longest running, successful and the most bumped sell thread?
Congrats on the sale OP.

I have had sale thread older than this and it got sold.

Sometimes you just forget that you even had put it on sale.
Buyer asked me if I still have it and since I still had with it and wasn’t using it. I sold it.

Just count the number of posts in this thread that are NOT bumps by OP. And asking price went from 13k to 7.5k (or lower). If OP valued his time, set a tempting price initially and if bumps were not free, this sale should have happened 2 years ago.

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

Superb!!. Thanks.

Just a suggestion allow 1 bump, Say i have 4 Sale threads I can bump 1 at a time, Second one Can be done after 48hours.

if a person has 4 sale threads and he bumps one today and after 48 hrs second one. By the time the first one’s turn comes back it will be almost almost 10 days.
Maybe 2 sale thread after every 48 hrs should be allowed.

Some people had 7-8 threads and would daily bump them up all at the same time, filling up the front page. It was so annoying and that is what prompted the title post.

I hope they don’t do it at 48hr interval now.

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.

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.

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.
