this makes the third time i've had a topic closed for the reason "early bump violation" when i wait the 4 hours like supposed to..
I'm sick of paying for red text on topics, and losing it for this reason, as well as sick of having to redo my trade list time after time, because of this problem..., how do i get my topic unlocked or get something done to make this right..

Would you mind linking us to a couple of these threads?

Remember that:
Creating several threads to bypass the early bump rule.

Is considered an early bump as well.

If you feel as though your topics were closed in an unjust manner, then you can contact the proper Moderator directly and politely ask why your topics were closed.

i don't create multiple, i recreate everytime someone randomly closes my topic though. but its starting to get annoying ,i wait my time, like im supposed to ( minus replying to someone posting or posted an item that was sold, ) but the most recent link

Post 9 and 10 are back to back, 10 is considered an early bump because you could've easily edit'd post 9 to post that.

3 and 4 are also back to back.

4 and 10 are early bumps. They're back to back.

Looks like it was appropriately closed.

Not only did you early bump, but...

from trade rules:
If your thread gets closed, you must wait at least 1 hour before reposting it, unless the moderator tells you otherwise.
Do not repost a thread that got closed due to a violation. (Illegal trade/Spam/Services/Posting in the wrong forum).

lol. wow. so you're saying i have to edit everything everytime i post something .. wow.. but okay.
sure is kind of hard to edit, when the edit tab doesnt show up (from posting on others threads) . but all good, i'll recreate it in a bit..

The edit feature only remains there up to 30 minutes. (for security purposes to prevent scams). If you need to edit after 30 minutes has elapsed, you'll need to wait 4 hours

There's never a reason to post back back within a 4 hour period. The edit button will disappear after 30 mins.
To update your list, you can repost the list on the same thread 4 hours after the last reply. Or, you can make the statement that item 'xxx' has been sold. The error that you made before was you posted back to back within a four hour window. The rule clearly states to only bump your topic every four hours. This includes posts of any kind, not just the ones that say "bump"

Only open a new trade topic if it's been one hour or longer since your latest trade topic was closed (if it has the same items anyways)
