Closed Auctions threads from Bumping!

[theinvestor]

I see too many auction threads being closed because of bumping...i see this as a major problem because sometimes people may place an auction with an ending date and then when price doesn't hit their expectations they begin to bump the thread.

This may not be in all the cases, but there has to be a way to prevent this from happening.

I see auctions being created, being bumped...and then auctions do not begin again. So now, bids that were placed are no longer valid because auction threads are closed.

Can we find a way to get a resolution towards this? Or maybe have mods warn users and not close threads? I am specifically annoyed by this in auction threads where it has a negative impact to all users.

I would also like to see DNF come up with a solution to this problem.

We will review this and see if there is a better alternative. Whether it changes or not there will be some type of rule of course and it is up to the thread creator to follow it. I do understand your point however and will see what the brain-trust can come up with on our end
