Hi everyone,

it seems like there're a lot of misconceptions to this rule since the rules don't explain in-detail anything about the "t4t, c/o, more, emojis etc..." being early bump,

they are deemed as early bumps when used in an excessive manner regardless whether they were back-to-back or not - excessive meaning you are replying to every comment/offer/bin replies by other users with them, quoted or not,

The reason they are deemed as a bump is because replies like that serve no actual purpose since they're not replies for the purpose of trade negotiations, in the case of t4ts/thank you replies you are able to thank users in-game as well as in PMs therefore it's not counted as "necessary",

the "c/o, more available, more slots opened" replies are counted as bumps as well, by replying with those you are quite literally bumping your topic to bring more attention to it since users interested in what you're selling and are making bids are able to tell what the highest current offers are just by reading through your topic,

also if you need to inform other users about the quantity of your items and how many slots you have opened for a service you can do so simpy by editing your first post

A trade negotiation reply would be...


With all that said though you are allowed to reply and thank users inside your topic once 4 hours has passed since the last reply, if you have multiple users that you've traded with then you may quote them all at once in one reply and thank them once 4 hours has passed since the last reply,

feel free to send me a PM if you have further questions related to trading!
