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.

Rich had said numerous times that he's not going to limit one person's efforts just because another doesn't want to put as much work into their sales. If somebody wants his (or her) ads to stay on top, and is willing to repost several times daily, then he will maintain that choice ad positioning...as long as he manages his ads explained in my previous post.
To be honest, I don't usually scan the individual categories for duplicate ads (unless I'm bored, or can't sleep - then I might) - I just review the new posts regularly.
If somebody isn't managing their ads, report them or send me a message.

Understood. I am just viewing it through a different lens, I guess. I would not mind bumping all day every day or reposting all day every day if that is considered acceptable work. It just did not fit with my impression of the spirit of the idea as I saw it (incorrectly or not). Thanks for the response.

I understand your point...but there's really only so much that can be done. Prior to the changes about which this thread was posted, people were "free bumping" - often several times daily - and almost nobody cleaned house by deleting their older bumps. I have my settings at 40 posts per page; and I could click on ads that had 2 full pages of "bump", "ttt", "still here", etc. Part of the solution also caused a problem - people could no longer do multiple post ads, so now they make separate ads.
Sure, there are ways to fix the issues you mentioned...but at a price; and custom features usually need to be redone when updates happen. Basically, Rich is trying to keep the classifieds appealing and useful to as many members as possible. I think it would be great if we could cater more toward our paid memberships; but you've probably seen how things go when changes are made.
As far as the people reposting groups of ads - scroll through the BP classifieds sometime...there are a couple of sellers that take up a page and a half when they post or bump.

Certainly.
As for the BP section, I have quickly noticed that which you have mentioned. My presence/involvement there is very small and, in some ways, I am almost glad it (the degree/extent of my presence) worked out that way.
Thanks again.

Oh crap. I'm a new member. I started my account the other day so I could post an ad looking for somebody to adopt my Russian tortoise. I had never heard the term "ad bumping". Sadly, I just did that. I've only done it once, and I won't do it again now that I know about it. Sorry.

Do not sweat it. I took care of the bump-style post this time. Just be mindful to avoid it going forward, please. That way there are no warnings and point-bearing infractions.

I just put a new reply on my post. I decided to make it so people could have the tortoise entirely for free if they can completely prove that they have knowledge of Russians and prove that he will go to a good home. I want him to be happy. Just letting u know it wasn't an attempt at an ad bump. I just want people to know that I wouldn't charge somebody who is a great tortoise owner.
