Ive only been on jsp for two years. but im guessing Njaguar started the early bump rule 4 hours at a time when jsp first started and never changed it.

But JSPs population of traders are much higher than they were then. Maybe (Back in the day) when u bumped your topic legally your topic stayed on the top 50 for at least over 30-45 mins
But now traders have no real choice but to early bump their topics, so they can actually be seen. On ladder threads stay on top 20 for a few minutes at most.

Having jsps early bump rule at 4 hours wastes time for mediators closing back to back threads
if the time was 1-2 hour early bumps im sure more jspers would fallow the rule, and mediators would have more time to do more important things with their job.

i dunno. just my thoughts

Postup ur thoughts on if you voted

i see it like you bump it once every four hours it sits in the top 50 for what maybe 25 seconds? >.< bumps should be much shorter than 4 hours.

Where is the less than 30 minutes option?

no

No

yea.. the rule is faulty imo

Your topic would just disappear faster if everyone bumped sooner.

If we all bumped legit that is

wouldnt matter if you could do it once every two hours or once an hour . more people would get a chance to see it.

1 hour imo

if not 30 mins
