Original message details are unavailable.
@tuffty It was pre-approved by another forum mod Tren. Could you please provide me with a form of definitive rules outlining what you just mentioned? Add me in game or respond here. Thanks,
I did not "pre-approve" your bumping of other people's MarketPlace threads. What we discussed were general guidelines for bumping, which have always been :

- Excessive bumping is spam
- It is always preferred that if a thread needs to be bumped back to page 1, it is preferred that the author bumps, and using the bump button is preferred over making a bump post.
- Bumping a thread more frequently then the bump button allows is spam.
- Bumping an inactive thread just for the sake of bumping it is spam.

For additional clarification:
- There is no set time limit for what constitutes whether a thread is considered active or inactive. It depends on the forum and the type of thread. Typically, a discussion thread will have a longer active lifespan than a marketplace thread. Most marketplace threads that have not been bumped by their authors could probably be considered inactive after a week, because if they have not bought or sold the item by then, they would have bumped their thread.
- Many marketplace posters, once their item has bought or sold, just ignore their thread. They don't return to it to mark it as "sold" or "done", they assume the thread will make its way off the end of the forum. If you bump other player's marketplace threads, you may be bumping threads where the advertised transaction already concluded several days before. That results in the current active threads being pushed off the page by bumped inactive threads, and fills page 1 with threads that their authors are done with.

Tren: “When you asked me about the bumping rules, l wasn’t aware that you were talking about bumping other people's threads. I thought you were asking about your own.” Obviously stating that you did allow it previously, but by honest miscommunication.

So because you misunderstood the question, but did approve of the initial question, doesn’t leave me in the wrong for progressing with what was earlier spoken about.

I asked for clarification of the rules, I received those. I didn’t ask for a disagreement on whether or not you did something, which you did with screenshot evidence, and verbatim text.

I will no longer do what I was initially told was okay, now knowing it is not.

Thank you for your time.

(Please remove this post, as it is now spammed. I will remake a new one.)
