SWAPD is a trusted middleman service dedicated to offering our users the safest way to buy, sell, or trade items and services of virtual nature. SWAPD opens doors for you to earn and rise to fame in the digital universe by connecting you with vast network of buyers, sellers, and opportunities.
SWAPD is getting busier, and the front page is getting kind of cluttered with people bumping for exposure. We’ve had two ideas to combat this, and we will let you guys decide how to handle it. Basically, we want to give new listings a chance (from newbies) so they can be seen. New members don’t know our rules, they don’t know how things work, and they don’t stand a chance against 1000’s members bumping their topics every day, so here are the proposed things that should help.
Option #1
We extend ticket bumping rules to three days (72 hrs)
Option #2
If a topic starter edits or responds to his own thread, it doesn’t bump at all. It will only bump if another user responds to it. This means that unless someone responds to your topic, it will not jump to the top of the front page.
If I’m speaking about social media properties, I had like to have an overview & not the forum type of listings. It would be way more clear. Without bumping.
But I understand that’s not really something that’s possible for other categories, such as services
Make it in such a way that bumbing doesn’t go above new listing. That is, make it so that new threads stay on top for a fix duration and during that time they can be top by newer threads. Hope it make sense
i think should leave the way it is. why? because every 10 minutes you see new listings even old ones that you missed. i found a lot of posts like this . the only problem is the bump user post thing. you should implement a restriction for ever user that has a post in the selling cat. to be able to bump it just once at 24h.
It would probably save on useless DM’s too since people are who DM for no reason, will spend less time going through categories that they have no interest in anyhow.
You could also have a category where only users who have met X criteria will have their sales posts show automatically. Only sales posts though. Not random posts or help posts etc.
@King - In my opinion, you’re not bringing any new functionality or solving anything, you’re just moving stuff around to your taste. If anything, your way will only add more links everywhere which will add to the clutter.
But I do agree something needs to be done. For now, we’re sticking to the bumping issue so let’s solve that first.
Building something else around this platform would be too costly. Unless I misunderstood you.
