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.

 

$6K for a IWC in SS it’s got a few more bumps left.

 

I thought there must be something I'm missing.

 

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'.

 

@mattonthewater I would think after 4 years of selling you would know the rules.

@keepschanging

 

@keepschanging keeps double bumping

 

@watchdaddy1

SIX bumps in the in Watch Parts and Accessories For Sale on Sunday.

 

@yvrclimber

 

New record for @No Mercy today? 4 new FS threads posted in Watch Parts/ Accessories For Sale

 

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.
