Rule #12: Ad posting Frequency & Post Bumping
Post-bumping is annoying. No one likes it. Don't do it.
Please note that Bartertown users are limited to one ad per forum per seven calendar days. This keeps board clutter and bandwidth use down.
For those of you who don't understand this: Look at a calendar. If I post something on 3 July in the 40k forum I may not repost anything to that forum until 10 July. That is seven calendar days. It's a legal term.
Example:
Let's say I have some LOTR Riders of Rohan I want to get rid of and other miscellaneous stuff from WHFB and 40K. I can post an ad with those items together in the LOTR, WHFB and 40K forums. Seven calendar days later, I can post another ad with the same items OR I can edit the ad at any time.
What I can't do is relist the items every day in each forum.
If you've got items that fit into multiple categories, you may cross-post given the stricture above. You may update your ad as you see fit provided your purpose is not to attempt any form of bumping.
Updating an ad is not bumping if there have been changes made to the inventory or pricing presented in the ad. It is bumping if "hey i still have this stuff available" is all that's written, or something to that extent.
Interest shown in an ad is not bumping. If you see something posted a few days ago that catches your fancy (and it's not your ad!) replying is not bumping.
