Vendors read this before you bump your posts

As everyone knows, LxForums is a member-centric forum and as such, we restrict vendors in where they can post sales threads. We also restrict members in general from mindlessly bumping their threads with 'TTP' etc. for no good reason. The rule for all is this: one thread bump per day. For a long time, this worked fine.

Several months ago, however, an especially sly vendor discovered that they could work a little mojo on the one-bump-per-day rule. The intent was to restrict the user who was bumping a single thread. But what about the vendor who has 30 threads on 30 different products? You guessed it... they bumped all 30 of them at once to effectively take over the entire Vendor Aisle post screen, and in the process plaster themselves all over New Posts for a few hours as well.

Naturally, once this genius idea was exposed to the rest of the world, it became necessary for said vendor's equally bright competitors to jump in and do the same thing.

We've all enjoyed the resulting madcap zaniness immensely. Here's just one of the more public examples: http://www.lxforums.com/board/f67/vendor-isle-263753/

So a few weeks back, after a new round of private complaints, the staff discussed the matter. Our fearless leader, MagnumClub, made a private pitch to the main players: Please respect the spirit of the law as well as the letter of the law. It would be really appreciated if you would self-limit yourselves to three bumps per day. This will be especially good for everyone, as if you police your own actions ...

... we won't have to make another rule.



SO... if you weren't one of the ones who got a private audience with the Maximum Leader... now you know.

Maybe give that bump some thought? Just a suggestion.
