I don't see the bump infraction. Just want clarification.

All post back to back is early bump.

Your posts #3, #5, #9..

An "early bump" is when you reply to your own thread within less than 4 hours, as each reply naturally bumps the thread. To avoid breaking this rule, make sure to wait at least 4 hours before posting again.
#3, #5, #9, #11, #13, #15, #17 are all early bumps.

Refresh yourself on the trade rules: https://forums.d2jsp.org/info.php?p=6

Early Bump:
Posting 2 back-to-back posts in one thread before 4 hours.
Creating several threads to bypass the early bump rule.

per trade rules.

also:

No trades via PM. (It's harder to prove a scam via PM than from a trade thread, so always negotiate and deal through a trade thread, not PM).

Yes, all the posts mentioned are considered early bumps. Replying to your own topic within 4 hours bumps it and bypasses trading rules. To avoid this, wait at least 4 hours before posting again and use the edit button for updates instead. Repeated early bumping may lead to actions against your account.

It doesn't state it in the rules, so I'm not sure why people are telling you to read the rules. They started to enforce this a couple years ago out of nowhere. Back in the day you were able to respond to threads because that's just how forums work.

He didn't back-to-back post a single time.




However, while the trade related communication is supposed to take place in the thread, there are particular posts that fall under the Early Bump rule even if they are not directly covered by the definition in the Trading Rules.

Posts such as "t4t" or "pmed" have - if they don't have any other context - no other purpose than bumping the topic and are also considered (or rather: treated like) Early Bumps. A "ty" should really take place in PMs, a "PMed" is not needed as they'll get a notification about receiving a PM regardless. Your topic contains a handful of such Early Bumps and I would assume that that is why it had been closed.

It says back to back. My posts were not back to back. Not trying to argue here. Only way I see around this is to trade Via PM.

Thats why I edited in my t4t. I'm simply asking for future reference. I wanted that thread closed. I still have most of those rals today.

edit: yeah the "PM'd" posts are excessive. I will refrain from doing this. Thank you.
