Excessive Thread Bumping
Chill on the bumping of your For sale threads. This is not Nasioc. All you are doing is bumping yourself off the top of the for sale forum.
Give it a rest. :rolleyes: |
sorry for wanting sell some parts.. my bad... didnt know i couldnt do that
|
Nothing wrong with wanting to sell parts.
I am not a Mod, so my opinion doesn't really count, but there are only 50-100 or so regulars here, so we have all seen them and IMHO your bumping is a bit annoying. If you really want traffic, post them on Nasioc or I-Club and be willing to ship. For me, a bump every couple weeks if they have not sold is OK, but doing it as often as you are on a local board is just impolite. |

:?: bumping is a part of any forum, small or large.. |
I see many bumps in this thread's future. :P

Personally, I don't care if you guys bump unnecessarily, but I know when I see a thread w/ 9 bump posts in a row, it tells me the seller is desperate and willing to accept low-ball offers. |
Sweet!
*Goes to lowball sedonabugeye on those Rotas. :P |
I noticed on some forums, you can't post twice sequentially in the same thread, it auto appends your new info to the previous post.
Probably wouldn't work for us though. On our little board, I just object to repeated bumps with no price change or new info and little time passage. Maybe it is just me. |
Dean
I mean if he wants to sell his stuff and keep it up top for peeps to look at why not? I thought this was a forum? I know nasioc is big but dont you have a good number of people logging on here? just a question... |
It's already up top for him to look at. 3 of the top 10 threads are his. I agree with Scott, I don't care - but it tells me the person is desperate.
We're just saying, if there's not a ton of turnover in the forum (6 threads out of the 25 on the first page belong to sedonabugeye), there's no reason to bump it up multiple times a day. |
I agree, on a small board like this there's no need to bump your thread every day. Even after a week it will probably still be on the top half of the first page.
|
Usually 2-3. I started the one at the bottom of the page last month.
|
life is short.

im not desperate at all.. and if your not a mod and your opinion doesnt matter, then why dont you keep your two cents to yourself?? and sorry i have some parts that can make a wrx even better. and your right, i do have a lot of for sale posts.. my bad for continuing to making my subaru better and better. and when i do that, guess what happens? parts come off and need to be sold. and why dont you make your board to where you cant post it back to back? i mean if this is really that big of a deal to all of you that you have to make it in to some big discussion then im obviously having people take notice of me. and guess what, the more your noticed and exposure you get, the more likely someone will say, oh shit.. he has something i need.. ask scooty.. i gave him a good deal and got him his new set of wheels asap. he is a cool dude, not on here getting "annoyed" by my bumps. hell, if you get that annoyed.. dont click on the thread.. shit.. noone makes you click on it.. just pass over it.. but by all of this attention, its working out for me.. so be all pissed and annoyed at me for bumping my stuff.. so i wont bump it anymore.. ill dean it! ;)

This is not a very good example of letting something slide. So let me put it this way: Dean was over-reacting. But he's right in the fact that bumping a thread that's literally the 1st thread in the forum is totally excessive. It's literally impossible to bump the first thread, it's already bumped. If you insist on doing it specifically to annoy another member I will close the for sale thread. Feel free to manage your ads in the classified in a reasonable manner, posting "Dean" twice a day is not reasonable, it's inflammatory. And Dean, let the moderators do their jobs instead of constantly starting shit when someone does something that's not exactly the way it's normally done around here. You're making our jobs harder than they need to be. If you've really got a problem with something, use the report post button, not the reply button. |
Message received. Now get off my lawn! :)

Thanks Jon! thats kinda what i was thinking too!

I don't think its so much of a control issue but rather trying to keep some kind of order. It's like going to a nice restaurant and then being all loud and crazy like you're watching football at a sports bar. Again, the problem is when someone makes a small thing into something big and then others jumping in and make it even bigger. If everyone would show just a tad bit more respect for everyone else than this stuff wouldn't happen.

mmmm memories strawberry shortcake.

Yah, unfortunately when you're the new guy, it's on you to make the effort to introduce yourself to everyone. Ever been to a party where you don't know anyone? It's just the way it is in any free form social gathering. Just suck it up and start shaking hands and introducing yourself. I'm sure you will be trying to get one of us to stop yappin' your ear off in no time. :)
|
ya it's not really imperitive that I feel welcome it's not on my list of to do's but go by the old motto if you haven't got something nice to say then don't say it..end of subject.. anyhows if i could ever be of any assistance to or for anyone of u then let me know....
|
i not blaming the group as a whole, but usually with new people, one bad apple spoils the bunch.
|
Haven't you heard the Jackson 5 song? 'One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch' despite popular belief. Honestly man, if you are going to take that point of view then maybe this isn't the forum for you. Everyone seems to be taking shit way too seriously, and by some of the posts that I have read lately I feel like an old person watching little kids bicker, just with more educated language, and I am one of the youngsters on here...
Oh, and Cody, that was the perfect analogy. |

One interesting observation i noticed. the 2 parties really involved (or 3 include a mod) had a good discourse
Dean :"you're bumping too much" Noob: "oh sorry my bad" mod "hey complaints are my job" then a few guys try to chime in for noob and say he can do what ever he wants... but he already did the cool thing and said meaculpa ... Meh Nar... i almosted missed that someone had self responsiblity in all of this mess.... ramble on... |
Nuf said.
