View Full Version : Bump Feature

If you're ever looked at a thread in the Trading Section, you'll notice that most of the posts are just to bump the thread up. This just fills the thread up with useless posts. I think that their should be a feature to bump the thread with just a simple click of a button. (But make sure it can only be bumped every 6 hours or so.) If not this, at least let users delete their own posts/threads in the trading section, this way the user can clean up useless bump posts.
This is just an idea though.

Not a bad idea - maybe consolidate the delete last post/repost last post into a button click instead.

That's going to be abused like mad if it's added as a feature. It's not too hard to delete your own posts to keep their trade list clean, and the responsibility to do so should be theirs.
The OP is the only thing you really need to look at in a trade thread anyway though right? (And maybe the last few posts to see if anyone else has dibs on the game(s) you want.)

That would be a useless feature. Why make a feature of something that already exists? You're basically asking to develop a feature that lets the user make one click instead of typing out four letters. Are people really that lazy?

I'm not being lazy, I just didn't want my thread to be cluttered with useless posts. And, at the time of making this thread, I didn't know you could delete your own posts.
