Just sharing an observation.
These days it’s quite common to open the homepage and see it filled with sales threads from the same seller. In some cases the whole first page is just one person posting domain after domain.
I’ve even had to put some users on ignore just to see other members’ listings.
Right now we have the 72-hour bump rule, but in practice it doesn’t seem to change the situation much.
Maybe another approach could work better:
• shorten the bump interval to 12 hours, or even 6 hours
• at the same time limit each member to around 4–8 marketplace posts or self-bumps per day
The idea isn’t to reduce activity.
A shorter bump interval would allow listings to refresh more frequently. But with a daily cap per member, the homepage would naturally become a mix of different sellers, instead of long consecutive blocks from the same person.
If someone has dozens of domains to sell, portfolio or list-style threads could also work well and may even be easier for buyers to browse.
Just curious if others have noticed the same thing.
