    Currently i'm posting a fair amount in the link sales section of the forum. I've had two infractions in the past week, one for posting a duplicate thread and now today one for bumping a thread.

    Whats a link buyer to do?

    Orginally i started a new thread as my old thread was looking for slightly different links originally. - I get an infraction...

    Next time instead of starting a new thread, i bump the old one and guess what i get an infraction for doing that too!

    Please can the mods / admins advise me what they want me to do then!!!

    It seems very petty...

    Quite simply don't bump. If your thread is drifting back to page 10 just accept that no-one is interested in what you're selling. You can link to your thread from your signature space to maintain a bit of exposure.

    Likewise don't make a duplicate thread selling the same thing. If you want to make a second thread make the conditions slightly different to the first and ask for the first to be closed.

    And don't comment in sales threads either - only ask questions directly related to the deal (that haven't already been answered). Don't lead the thread off topic or slate the deal publicly (even if it is shite).

    I think that just about covers BST.

    Thanks.

    So i just keep picking up infractions which are in my opinion completely pointless?

    By the way i'm not selling things, i'm usually buying links.

    People don't post in the threads as i ask them to PM me... so there is usually interest but this is not reflected in the thread.

    Hey ho, waiting for my next infraction...

    You received a bumping infraction for this post:

    I suggest to read the forum rules and this thread to avoid further infractions.
