cttbax ADMIN Registered: 03/30/09 Posts: 3482 Loc: Virginia Beach, VA City or County: Virginia Beach 23452	Sellers- NEW BUMPING RULE: YOU MAY BUMP YOUR POST ONCE EVERY CALENDER DAY. NO MORE 48HOUR/24HOUR RULE. SO IF YOU WANT TO BUMP IT AT 1159PM ONE DAY AND 1201AM THE NEXT DAY THOSE ARE YOUR BUMPS FOR THE CALENDER DAY. You may answer legitimate questions about the item and edit your original post to reflect these answers. Do NOT start a conversation in the thread. Use the PM feature. This is left up to the sole discretion of the site staff. If they suspect you are small talking your posts will be deleted! Your thread will be deleted if it has not been updated every 14 days. Buyers- If you have a question PM the SELLER with the question. Small talk will be deleted no questions asked - e.g. "Wish I had the money" "bump for a great gun" "great seller folks" etc. Do NOT make public offers or lowballs. They will be deleted -No questions asked. PM the seller! Gratuitous bumping will not be tolerated. The following disciplinary actions will be taken if a staff member suspects you are in violation of these rules: 1st offense- Warning 2nd offense- Post locked for 72 hours. Only the moderator who locked the post may unlock your post. 3rd Offense- 7 day ban from Virginia Gun Trader - No questions asked 4th Offense- THE HAMMER! 4th offense you are gone for good. NO questions, NO exceptions. If a site staff member sends you a PM calling you on an infraction DO NOT respond with rude remarks or argue with the staff. We are simply doing our jobs trying to enforce the rules and keep the site clean and uncluttered. Rude responses will only compound the issue and is considered an automatic 3rd offense (7 day ban) NO exceptions. We will not tolerate rude remarks to the site staff.

VaGunTrader The Administrator Registered: 11/19/08 Posts: 1163 Loc: Dinwiddie County Va City or County: Sutherland - 23885	Thanks CTTBAX!! Just let me ad that we are trying to prevent unnecessary bumping (TTT, to the top, bump, etc). For many it's a race to the top, to keep their "for sale" post at the top. Too many are jockeying for the top spot and it really clutters up the forum. And this includes bumping other members posts. Do you really need to say "nice gun", or "I have one like that"? If you have a legitimate question that you feel would help the seller with the sale of his item them please reply and and ask. Example: "How many rounds has this gun fired" or "Have you done any modifications". And if you have a problem with a post please PM (Private Message) instead of posting your comment for everyone to see. That only angers the author of the post and escalates into more problems. Example: If you think the seller is asking too much for his gun, don't reply and say "I can get that cheaper elsewhere". If you must comment send a PM. "PM SENT" is another no-no !! If you send a PM there is no need to reply to the post and say "PM sent", that just bumps the post. AND NO OFFERS IN THE POST. WHETHER YOU WANT TO MAKE A FULL-PRICE OFFER, OR A LESS-THAN-FULL-PRICE OFFER TO PURCHASE .... SEND A PM !!! The rules for bumping and replying are simple, please follow them. _________________________ When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.
