Watch out with Bumping LegendaryBusterz
Sabin recently made a sticky about bumping !
Still alot of people don't now what is bumping and what is spamming !
Normally I and alot of other people thougt bumping was posting once every 1-3 minutes to keep a topic at the top of the forum.
You could make alot of money with it.
I made a few 1000 points with it.
But nowadays you got banned for doing this.
This week i saw several people getting banned for it.
And not just lower ranks also godfathers.

So for everyone ones more these are the rules:

What is "Bumping"?

Bumping is the practice of posting in someone's topic for the primary purpose of moving it to the top of the forum ("bumping it to the top". Any reply to a topic will bump it to the top, but "bumping" is doing it for the main reason of just moving it to the top. This is most common in this forum (Classifieds), so people can keep their advertisements visible.

What is spamming?

Spamming, in the context of bumping, is posting the same thing several times in the same topic with no real added content. Different colors, styles, sizes, spaces, or words that mean basically the same thing are considered to be "not new". Generally, 3 to 5 repeated posts are considered spamming.

Even if there is a few minutes between every of your posts. It is still spam!


So watch out and avoid getting banned !!!!!
