Who is getting LOCK happy

Sterling · Jan 6, 2010

I noticed quite a few threads closed this morning. Several were for good reasons, some are kinda questionable.

Like this one:

Closed for to many price reduction bumps?

Go figure?

He had followed the rules. The reductions were spaced apart and they were more than 10% price reductions except on the last post where he posted some stats.

Sometimes you mods leave me scratching my head.

:doh:

12. Do not "bump" your sale threads with the word "bump" or no relevant information. All replies to your own threads in sales MUST contain information pertaining to the sale. You must have a minimum price reduction of 10% to post a price reduction as a bump. Otherwise, edit the original post and do not bump! Do not use sneaky bump tactics like "If you PM me, post in the thread that you PM'd me". No "PM sent" replies to threads. There are too many bump tactics to list, so please just don't try any of them. Trading bumps is not permitted, you bump for me, I bump for you, etc., so even if there's no harm intended, do not bump others' threads because you think it's a good deal, or the recipient will feel obligated to bump your thread, and you can see where this will lead. As a seller, you can reply to an offer but you must have some new/additional information. Maximum bumps/replies/updates is 3 for the life of the thread. All sales threads which are inactive and more than 3 months old are considered null and void unless otherwise stated by the original poster / seller and can be closed by administration at any time.

It gets quite annoying when you see this:
