Bumping in the Classifieds

[Leigh]

APUG has just installed an anti-bumping tool that enforces a 3-day wait between bumps.

I think that's a terrific idea.

Perhaps we could install the same here, since both sites use vBulletin.

I will propose it to the crew.

I'd rather just see a "rule" that no bumps permitted just for hte sake of bumping -- either add content or lower the price.

I disagree. The purpose of bumping is to bring the item to people who've not already seen it.

I have a few sales up that I bump once or twice a year, just to catch new blood.

That's easily gamed. I say the system ain't broke.

You're right... The system ain't broke.

But some users are.

And I think its fine the way it is.

There really doesn't seem to be much of a bumping problem here (nor is there one on APUG either for that matter). Seems like over kill.
