Please note the rule about 'bumping':

''If you bump your thread excessively it will be locked, not more than once in 24 hours.''

Unfortunately, more and more people have been excessively bumping their classifieds recently. This then causes other members to do the same in a bid to keep their ad on the first page. This only clutters the classified forums with needless posts, and is making it harder for members to view classified forums, and animals for sale.

As a result, we will now be actively enforcing the locking rule on members who excessively bump their threads. Members who also make multiple threads in order to escape the bumping rule, will also find their threads locked, and may have their priveledge's to the classified forums removed.

It is not something that we enjoy enforcing, but as the forum is growing, we are finding it a more common problem than we would like, and it has reached the stage that we now have little choice other than to enforce this rule.

We would also appreciate it if members would report threads where they see excessive bumping, so that we may keep the classifieds as clutter free as possible. This also includes members who give 'free bumps', this is also against the rules im afraid.

In short, we want to keep the classified forums as useful as possible to members, but we need help from members to keep the forums as free as possible of needless posts.
