Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

As long as we still have the ability to edit our ads (to update what's been sold, for example), seems as fair and equitable a solution as possible.

I have to agree with Debbie... This is a wonderful way to proceed with things... It helps to support the site and makes things run smoother. I just hope that those that don't contribute don't start just making new ads when theirs ends up on the back pages. I also agree with Harald.. If someone is wanting a specific animal.. they will find it! Thanks Rich for trying to make this a better site

LOL....I read the whole thing and I don't even post ads!
Seriously though, it seems as graceful a solution as anyone could have come up with.

Rich, since it is already happening, would you care to comment on some of the other "bumps" that have been brought up during this process? (Referring specifically to posts not in direct response to questions, serving only to bring the ad back up...such as "Still available", "Taking offers", "Growing like weeds", "Get her before it's too cold to ship", etc)
Also, just to put this one out before it comes up, what about price changes? If an ad is amended to lower the price, would a corresponding post saying Now just $XXX be considered a bump (since the information is already in the ad)?

Unless the code modification is not working as it is supposed to, the thread originator cannot reply to their ad until after someone else posts on it. If that is the case, please let me know.
With that being said, any reply that is NOT responding to a question and is strictly there to bump an ad outside of the Classified Control Panel is a "BUMP" and is an infraction. A BUMP, does not have to specifically say "BUMP".
Mods can apply warnings while the dust is settling and people learn of this change, but shortly they will incur infractions that can accumulate into a temporary ban. I hope no one believes the mods are too dumb to realize what is going on.
As I mentioned earlier, if this change doesn't get the desired results and problems still persist, I will simply shut down ALL replies to the classified ads. It really doesn't matter to me either way. I'm just trying to make this work for you all as best I can, but I'm not going to spend the rest of my life dealing with hair splitting and clever workarounds people will come up with.

I just tried to bump one of my ads that had not been replied to and got the following message

Please do not bump your classifieds by adding replies! If you need to open/close it, you can do this in classifieds control panel. Bumping and highlighting ads is also available there for contributing members. If you need to update your classified, you can edit original post and enter your new information there. You will also be able to add a (single) reply to your own thread if another member asks a question there but you are not allowed to add replies when you are already the last poster.

I'm working with my programmer now to see if a 20 kazillion volt charge through the keyboard can be implemented for the third bumping attempt. Sort of, three strikes and you're REALLY out..............
