PLEASE stop posting/bumping several items for sale on the same day!

I do not get the point.

You change as many titles as you like as often as you like. It’s totally transparent to all other forum users.

PITA is when several listings are bumped as they get at the top of the section all together and appear in the general new posts section of the forums. The seller who wants to bump several listings a day can always post in the private section, there’s no daily posts/bumps limitations in there.

I do respect that 1-listing-post-bump-per-day rule and like it. Don’t get me wrong. But I don’t see why it should affect the title change. Then you should also forbid editing more than 1 post a day - it’s transparent for the others, why bother?


The rule that @Dan S had highlighted does not concern title change, it concerns those post stating "OHPF!", "Sold to a great guy!" or something similar which bumps the thread. Apparently that's allowed...


Btw, I am sure you mean the (Not Private) Sales Subforum when mentioning bump limitations, right?

I stand corrected I misread the rule. And now I remember the conversation (similar to our posts above) that led to this rule.

My personal take on this is that posting OHPF on top of changing the title is pointless and I don’t do it. Now as it’s allowed, if somebody thinks it’s useful, let it be...

My personal take is it's unfair to those who can't bump because it's within the 24 hour rule.

I have seen posts bumped to the top then moved down the page because of it. Then you add in a half dozen or more listings getting approved and you can find yourself in the middle of the page quickly.

All in all a very minor issue. Let's focus on the handful of posters who continually break the rules.

While we are on the subject. Gwade irritates me. No posts at all outside Private Sales in the past year or two but lots of sales posts for seemingly vastly overpriced stuff posted then bumped (within forum guidelines it seems) for months on end. Surely a candidate for the dealer section.

I thought there must be something I'm missing.

I don't agree with it either.

However, his two bumps yesterday or the two last Friday - or those I cannot see on his profile because they were removed by the mods - weren't new title markings.

My main gripe is that someone who contributes with little else than sales posts - and yet cannot understand the rule set for said subforum - hasn't been pointed towards the Sales subforum.

Wow, first we had a bump for OHPF and now another bump for SOLD. I like the watch (and the avatar) a lot, but that might be over-doing it.

I get it, it’s pretty annoying to have sales threads bumped to the top in a generalized recent posts filter - especially when it’s just mindless “bumping”.
But I must admit I appreciate the sense of security when purchasing from someone on a forum and the transaction is publicly time stamped with OHPF and SOLD. Sure, I have whatever agreement in PM and a title change does also update but a post is time stamped and catalogued. (Maybe a title edit is too and I simply haven’t noticed).
Just my two cents.
Oh, has anyone considered one of two options:
- separate out the sales recent threads from general? Similar to VRF and VRM?
- simply don’t include sales in the recent posts?

In 50 years we will all be wishing we had bought those watches when they were for sale 'so cheap'. 😉

🤦

Plus bumps.

I remember I once posted two listings on one day - one was deleted by mods without any notice and I had to rewrite everything again a day later.

Would be nice if everybody was treated equally.
