Mainly to the mods on this site, as a gneral observation, especially in the for sale area of this site, people are bumping their threads alot (hourly in some circumstances)

Now, other forums i have been on are quite strict on how much people bump their threads, and to be honest, it's a little bit annoying.

Does anyone else think that the rate at which some people bump their threads is getting out of hand?

[Bungle]

if a thread needs lots of bumps then it's over priced

i would be put off as a buyer that something is still for sale 4 weeks and 100 bumps after it was first put on the site

you need to keep bumping

cause everyone posts tonnes of threads on here, it will get lost easily

but if someone is looking for something they will go straight to the for sale section

I find it annoying, i mean yeah, the occasional bump maybe, but ater an hour of the initial thread going up?

I agree, if people want to find what you are selling, they will. There is no need to keep bumping the threads.

However if it is a thread related to a problem with certain seriousness, then it should be permitted, unless, the topic has been coverd before a few times.

I agree with people posting bumps, maybe every couple of days. BUMP - bring up my post - aka fetch a old post to the front again.

I pm anyone who i see bumping more then once a day and if it carries on and my message ignored, i will issue a warning. Its annoying and not nessecary!
