Ok so currently the trade forum for Diablo 3 America Hardcore is so slow that there is posts from 6-7 hours old still in the top 50 I am sure other hardcore forums have the same problem. What I suggest is either increasing the amount of posts you can have in the top 50 to say 5 or so. Or enable another button for the person who created the thread to be able to archive their own post so they can post a new thread. Currently it is hard to have only 2 posts in the top 50 since the forum is so slow now. I am sure tons of other agree it's sort of a hassle to come back about 1/3 of the day later and still not be able to post a new trade thread without breaking a rule that honestly makes no sense to have with how slow that forum is moving. This issue coupled with no bumps for 4 hours, and you can't edit you post after about an hour makes trading very difficult when you are trying to trade multiple things. And a more broad title does not get the attention your thread needs to sell.
I really think a simple change of the rule is the best idea, at least until the forum gets more active or something.
Please leave any comments and vote in the poll to try and get the rule changed.
