Rule #8 in the Classifieds Forum Rules. How do you justify bumping your own thread FIVE times in 1 day? I'm sure others with adds in the Classifieds would appreciate a little more time on the first page. And whether you say 'bump' or otherwise, replying to yourself is a bump. If the information is that pertinent, why not just use the 'Edit' function? Anyway, seems like you're providing a great service, just let some of the other folks adds spend their fair amount of time on the front page. Thanks, I'll step off the soap box.
While 5 bumps in a day may be excessive, your spot lost on the front page is impacted far less by a guy bumping his ONE thread which contains a ton of stuff vs the guys with multiple listings. Complain to them.
And while technically not against the rules, I think starting a NEW thread after you've completed your 5 bumps (which is what you do) is just a lame attempt to skirt the rule. No one will tell you to stop bumping your thread if its a single one.
Probably should've PM'd the guy if you had an issue instead of "bumping" his thread to complain. Plus now you've gotten him an additional 5 bumps for the day. Actually maybe he should say thanks.
