Went back to re-read the new rules. Even the announcement thread title right at the top of the for sale forum states "no more rules on bumping, commentary . . . ."
I gotta say, though, Section 4 is a little confusing. How do you reconcile bullet #6 with bullets #2 and #3 and the announcement thread title I mentioned above? Seems like some clarification on those terms would be helpful. Here is section 4 (below). Bullets 1,2, 3 and 5 are struck-through, which I can't replicate.
SECTION 4 - Rules for buyers
First, see section 2.2 above.
1. Do not post "mail sent" or other similar replies to ads. (Temporarily suspended per testing)
2. Do not bump threads with "Free bump for a nice guy" or "Beautiful [item]" or other similar posts. (Temporarily suspended per testing)
3. Do not chat or discuss the items in the thread itself. (Temporarily suspended per testing)
4. Do not post in an ad unless you are interested in the item / service that is being offered.
5. Do not post offers in threads. (Temporarily suspended per testing)
6. ABSOLUTELY NO COMMENTARY OR FEEDBACK IN SOMEONE'S THREAD. Seriously, if you stomp on someone's ad, your account can and will be locked.
7. THREAD NECROMANCY IS HIGHLY DISCOURAGED. Do not bump threads that are older than 120 days. Send the seller a message instead.
