FS / FT Rules - possible change?
Hey guys, I haven't visited here in a while though you could see from my post count that I was active at one point.
I had sold countless items in the FS/FT forum back in the day, but tried listing a product recently and bumped it the next day only to be told that I cannot bump my own FS/FT threads. I received a 1-point infraction. This wasn't the case before so I checked the rules and saw that a new rule was added last year.
Now, I'd like to propose that the admins think about changing this policy. Why? I'd like to propose that the OP has the opportunity to bump their thread once daily and limit bumps to no more then 10 bumps for the life of the thread.
I say this because the reasoning given for a valid thread bump is that one must lower their price. I don't agree with this. Just because someone doesn't respond to the thread doesn't mean that the item is priced too high. It could be that the thread gets thrown off the front page of the FS/FT forum page and no one ever sees it. I bet a great majority of users don't scroll through the pages of the FS/FT thread, rather they look through the threads on the first page then navigate away to another forum.
Please consider, thanks.
