Maximum Bump Rule

[Blake]

This is just some feedback from a member who browses for deals almost everyday. Can we get some sort of rule on the maximum amount of times a damn thread can be bumped? I'm so sick and tired of seeing the same 30 threads on page 1 with each thread having 50 pages of "bump" or "." replies. I mean this is ridiculous!

It would be nice if we could get some fresh posts that are not the same garbage everyday! I guess I'm venting a little but from a members standpoint it's killing the vibe in this forum..and I'm sure I'm not the only one who spends less and less time here for this reason.

Open to ideas but I think perhaps threads that are 30 days old should autoclose or something....

20,000 bumps should be the limit

You are 100% correct Blake. There are posts being bumped for years. Take the hint, either your name is bad or your pricing.

@Echo Mod Team @Bravo Mod Team any chance to get a max on bumps?

Technically, there are already max bumps in place and have been for a while. Here's the official guide on that:

Limits on multiple posts by the same account ("bumps")There are sections on NamePros in which we do not allow more than a specific number of posts a day by the same member in their own thread/s ("bumping"). This practice is known as "bumping" because it is used to move ("bump") a thread to the first page and the top of a section's list of threads, increasing its visibility, which happens in most sections when a reply is posted in a thread. A bump can also cause a thread to appear on discovery pages that get it more views, such as New Posts and Recent Activity.

As a result, only a limited number of bumps are given to members based on their account level and/or the section of their post. Once you run out of available bumps, you can upgrade your account to get more bumps or wait until the next day (24 hours after your last successful bump). For example, if your bump limit is 1 bump a day, then at least 24 hours must pass from your previous post that successfully bumped before you will be able to bump again. Learn more with another example. However, you could purchase a Gold Account to bump again sooner without having to wait a day.

Bump limits apply to thread creators in their own threads. Rule 1.14 applies to all other members in threads that are not their own and they may not post in those threads solely for the purpose of bumping. In other words, if you did not create the thread, then you may only post in it when appropriate, such as posting in it to ask a question, place a bid, make an offer, claim a free domain name, express gratitude, or participate in a contest.

Bump limit by account level and sections

• Appraisal sections: view
• Marketplace sections: view

Sections that limit the frequency of bumps per thread for all account levels

• Available Domain Names: 2 bumps a day.
• Expired Domains and Expiring Domains: 2 bumps a day.
• Free Domain Names: 4 bumps a day.
• Assorted Lists of Domains: 2 bumps a day.
• Domain Coupons and Offers: Unlimited but rule 1.14 applies.
• Contests and Online Fun: Unlimited but rule 1.14 applies.
• All other sections: rule 1.14 applies.

Hi

been running this same sales thread since 2017
https://www.namepros.com/threads/llll-com-for-sale-zefx-com-obbq-com-eism-com-pygy-com.1003861/

last bump post was in september
should i start a new thread every 30 days with same names?

i feel what you're saying, as some take bumping to the extreme,
but NP allows more sales threads to be created for upgraded members who pay monthly for that privy.

imo...
