I want to suggest the ability to flag and unflag trade topics for Autobump via the topic tracker. If enabled (disabled by default on a topic by topic basis), Autobump would automatically bump your topics for you until disabled.

I also suggest it requires Verified Status to help mitigate the unrealistic possibility of "Bump Wars;" additionally, a maximum of amount of X topics per user should be eligible for Autobump (to be determined by admin). Possibly make a rule that Autobump features must be for large trades only to help with mitigation (if need be). You can only have up to 4 topics in the top 50 at any given time, so obviously Autobumping takes one of those slots. Also make it impossible to Autobump more than X topics per account. Maybe add a 5min delay between each autobumped post so spam is unable to happen. I.E: If somebody autobumped 4 topics, it takes 15minutes for them all to fully Autobump.

I believe this would be an amazing feature when used in conjunction with the Push Notifications system. Not everyone is available 24/7, but it's nice to know when you need to be.

I know this has been suggested before, but it's always been suggested improperly and it's been years since a valid topic was created.

Also, possibly make it possible to change the amount of time before an Autobump occurs I.E. Y user only wants to bump X topic A every 6 hours and topic B every 12 hours. Etc.

Hi, Superman. Here is a quote from d2jsp Site Rules

20. No botting or automation of any features within d2jsp, including, but not limited to, posting, page refreshing, Ladder Slasher.

Although your assumption was surely to make it possible by site functionality. My vote was No (explain), because when user is offline, there is in my opinion no need to bump his topics, if he can not trade anyway in that time. Counter-argument could be better possibility of collecting offers for rare items and increasing visibility and popularity of user topics, so that he can answer when he comes online, although it would still lead to less visibility of topics created by users who are online. Could be also a null vote from me, depending on arguments given by other users. Maybe also to consider as option paid using fg, same as topic title features. Good luck :)

This site suggestion has absolutely nothing to do with that rule. A user doesn't need to be home to do many different trades. A few examples include Ladder Slasher, Bnet Balance, autoshops like this: https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=80625659&f=169 because of this: https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=61120106&f=28 I also like to multitask and game a lot instead of constantly worrying about the forums and my topic therein. The reason I didn't like pay by fg is because it could be heavily abused. Pretty much every user who would abuse a pay by fg option wouldn't be willing or able to buy verified status for every potential spam-multi account.

No.

Your topic doesn't need to be bumped if you can't do it yourself.

No. Auto bumping would clutter up the forums with afk posts. I get the use of it if you’re using notifications, but without notifications active this does more harm than good.

I think your explanation is also somewhat confusing tbh. You can’t offer up varied possiblilities for the way this would function then ask for a vote. Am I voting on if there’s a 5 min delay between bumps or not? (For example).

Lastly your verified user idea is silly. Verified user status means literally nothing. You need donor forum access so in a broad sense moderators/admins don’t think you’re an asshole - but besides that the badge itself means noting about your bm/gm trading behaviors or how trusted you are.

Maybe a good idea would be to allow it to work for one thread at a time but cost you fg to use it as a fg sink and it stops working altogether if someone posts in the thread but you don’t respond d before the next bump comes along. Idk it’s too complicated to make it work I think

I wouldnt like my topics to be bumped when iam not at home, sorry.

If iam on my pc then i will bump them on my own, it doesnt take too much time. We dont even have to type "Bump" we just have to press on a button, this is enough for me.

I can see the uses but as stated of nearly everyone can see it just making forum cluttered with a lot not unmarking it when offline so clutters forums I think it’s nice idea but not realistic,

No from me

I can offer varied possiblities because I just did. As for verified status, that's the only way to do autobump and your pay with FG option means anyone could make 500 multis, make a bunch of autobump topics for like 2500fg, and spam like a God of Spam... Verified means they need a state ID for each account.

id be for it as long as there was a 100-200fg paywall or have bought fg and it be a function of the perks system in a way , and been a user more then a year or somthing in that lines to limit the multis ofc and a on and off function since alot of people would prefer it off make it like 1 time per 30 mins to limit it so 200 people dont spam at same time.
