Rules Creating a new thread similar to an old one?

    Hi,
    I have a topic posted in the partnership forum from about 2 weeks back. It has gone off the first page so I am wondering whether I can create a new thread similar to it or will this incur infractions?
    Thank you

    Duplicate threads are not allowed. Use the bump/edit feature.

    Thanks for the response!
    Is there a time period to this rule, for example if a month or two passes by will I be able to create a new topic?

    My main problem currently is that a topic will go off the first page within a few days, and so with only a bump a month I have to wait most of the month to get people to see a potential offer of a partnership.

    You can create thread for the same service only once.

    BTW you can use your signature to point out your thread.

    DON.

    And this is the same everyone deals with. If you keep starting new threads then you bump others off, and so they build new thread, and as you can see it would just be a waste. What I hear is you asking why you can't bump all those other threads out of your way to be seen. Well, it wouldn't be fair to them would it? Likewise, your thread lasted for days and not mere minutes before moving to page 2 because of the rules preventing the threads you knocked from bumping you back with a new thread.

    Thanks for the responses and the recommendations deluxdon and Digital_shubi. May buy premium, would be a good move on my part.

    @browntwn: Yes I agree with you, I have no real issue with it as it wouldn't be fair to others, but obviously I want what's best for my topic.

    Thanks
