For sale thread got locked

Trying to figure out what I did wrong.

Bumping too frequently.

Disclaimer: I am not a mod. I didn't stay at a HIE last night.

Glad they asked me, Im in afghanistan...If ill be on the 3rd day over here so ill bump when its 3 days my time. I work the night shift so like right now its the 31st here @ 5:25am but at home its 7:56pm on the 30th. So quick to lock shit but cant ask a basic question or "warn" someone.

Wow, considering I saw some one that posted three classified ads in less then 72 hour.

Let's pile on the mods!

Seriously though, mods don't always have time to send messages to people asking them to follow the rules. That would be a full-time job, given the number of people and posts on this entire site. It's a lot easier for each member to read the rules and follow them, than for a handful of mods to police thousands of members.

That being said, I have no idea about your ad, as I didn't lock it. But, 72 hours should be 72 hours, regardless of what time zone you are in, right? If you post from there and bump from there after 72 hours, there should not be an issue.

EDIT: In honor of this thread, I just sent a PM to a member telling him about the bump rule. I deleted his bump, but did not lock or otherwise penalize his thread.

I've said it before... but we suck as a classifieds site. We do the best we can, but if you are gonna use us that way, you are gonna have to bear with us.

I have to admit I very rarely use the GJ or the HAMB Classifieds as I find information is more forthcoming on both sites but still you have to do your best to abide by the rules. We are all human, we all make mistakes and hopefully we learn from them.
