I completely and totally respect and understand your point, however do you realize how little exposure our threads will get if nobody posts anything in them?, one of the most common posts is "PM sent" and opens the dialogue in the thread as well as let's other people know there is competition or interest in a domain or offer, which vastly helps sales for the sellers.. Most times we ask for a PM in the opening as alot of the information, questions, or offers we get are'nt for the public eye to see, or we want it private for certain other reasons..but if nobody can post a reply like "PM sent" then our thread just drops down into never never land very quickly which is totally unfair because if we can't bump it then we have to just start a new redundant thread to replace it..and it's not like you can just go bumping threads anyways as for the most part it just automerges into the last post made by yourself.
Alot of times the offers or things we want or look for do not come right away in the first few hours or even the first day of a thread sales/wanted post and we are clearly short changing ourselves by changing a system that has always worked, I feel this might even have the capacity to LOWER the amount of offers and responses and thus the domain business done here on DNF and we surely don't want that do we? Is there a middle-ground here? Maybe a 1 bump limit, period of time rule, etc etc? There are some vast harmful implications related to this heavy handed "dont post" approach with our threads and it needs to be thought out and explored...this is a forum is'nt it? Forums are for posting.
Should we all just switch to classifieds and do away with threads and posts all together for sales or wanted items?
