The early bump policy isn't enforced anyway. Dozens of threads with bump spam or "nobody interested?" Non-ladder Softcore is a chore trying to find an item with all the early bump spam.

It is indeed an early bump, per a Senior Moderator: https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=91765290&f=34&o=0

However, on topic to your suggestion, I don’t think it will fix the problem but I see how it could help. People will still find ways to bypass the rule, but voted yes

Solution to early bumps: suspend people who do it.

I think it would be nice but then you’d just get people spamming threads instead, so that would also need to be addressed

No.

1: They'll just make another topic.
2: I find it necessary to early bump on occasion and I'm willing to accept responsibility for it. For example, if I found a Ber rune on day 2 of ladder and my topic starts on page 7 with 0 views because there's 2000 people posting. I may early bump it once or twice because waiting 4 hours means it becomes worth 50% less FG. I do try my best to look and search for ISO Ber topics first.
3: If somebody is early bumping and it bothers you that much, collect about 10 topics of them early bumping and send a PM to a TA/TM. In my experience, it results in 10% about 9 out of 10 times. Trade hijacking used to be an instant 10% if I PM'd a TM/TA.
