I posted a sale ad in the traditional exchange on Thursday night at around 7 PM. On Friday morning I was up and looking through my collection and decided to post a couple of different knives for sale. I think the second post went up around 7 AM Friday morning.

my posts were merged, and I was left a note to read the rules of the exchange. Can someone tell me what I did wrong so that I can avoid making the same or a similar mistake in the future.

For example, I was assuming a new day started at midnight. Should there be a full 24 hours between posts, even if a shorter amount of time will span two calendar days? Or is there supposed to be a full calendar day in between posts? Meaning I could post different sale ads on the first and third of the month but not on the first and the second days of the month.

I would like to be clear, I am not trying to complain about anything. I would like to understand the rules to make sure I follow them correctly.

Since this is an international forum the hour when a "new" day starts varies from person to person, if you posted a knife at 11pm your time and another one at 1am (2 hours later) that would be separate days for you but the same day for someone who lives a couple timezones earlier than you, and with only 2 hours separating them it'd be against the intent of the rule. Since the rule is set up to keep one person from having too many threads in a sales forum at the same time, it makes more sense for a "day" to be a 24-hour time period instead of a calendar day. When I merged your threads they were separated by only a couple of other threads, and being 12 hours apart they were posted less than a day apart.
