A TIP to people who post threads in the Market Place forums

[This isnt a "market" thread, but this really needs to be posted..]

I've noticed people spam their own BUY/SELL/TRADE threads with "bumps"
A bump is a reply used to move your thread from the bottom of the page to the top so that it gets more views.

Everyone, you are doing it wrong.

Rather than flooding your own post with bumps..
Delete all previous 'BUMPS' made then make 1 new bump.
That way your thread stays clean and still gets moved to the top.

Nothing as ugly as a thread with 10 replies and 9 of them being pure bumps.

I always did this unless people post after my Bump post.

how do I delete previous bumps? After a certain time period, I can't delete my posts anymore '-_-
