One-word posts are happening far too often when bumping topics to the top of the list. Up until now it hasn't really been dealt with. One-word posts are not allowed, and from now on traders will only be allowed to bump their topics three times a week. Any more than 3 bumps and the topic will be locked, with the 4th bump being deleted. If you want to bump a topic, do so with more than a one-word post. Any one-word posts will be deleted.

How about you only bump your topic when there's something worth mentioning, like an actual update to the list, maybe tell about how your list has changed--what's new, what's gone.

Either this or I delete any topic bumping all together, seeing how it is irrelevant spam, which is why topics like "Let's keep this thread on top!" are in Fresh Kills.

And here's a good example of what I mean:

This is also to keep things fair for everyone. Sometimes the board moves too fast because of people bumping their topics 3, 4, or sometimes 5 times a day, causing other topics to get pushed down without having a chance to be looked at.

Hey pixelate, if you think these threads are moving fast then check out gamefaqs

"a bump" is when you just type bump in your topic so it will be at the top of the list so people will see it.

This idea is okay, just dont just ONE word is reasonable...

but

how about stopping some ppl they create so many new topics just for asking one stuff in each topic, then we dont need to bump so much...

example

I want pow mats (1 topic)
I will trade anything for xxxx (another topic , same person of coz)
Looking for xxx (different item, same person, of coz)

and try to teach them how to edit their own tradelist topic, and edit their subject too
