I'm aware that a few members who are sellers here use proxies to create new accounts and then bump their threads. Issue is almost entirely in PSS. I've decided to require a Prestige score of 5 for PSS posting unless upgraded into L33t or Ub3r. So that will end the abuse rather quickly.

Thank you.

Sellers are creating new accounts to bump their threads? Wow, individuals sure are desperate. I hope some kind of punishment is handed down for this abuse.

Good work here - keeps things fair and competitive.

Never knew that was even a thing, but I have seen a few accounts with all their posts to a certain member's thread.

Smart move.
"Rules for Marketplace (please read)" might be a good idea to add it under there.

If I made a policy of taking action against members who threads are bumped by new members who are possible proxies then I assume members would fake accounts to get sanctions against other members and that would be a huge issue.

When creating policies it's not enough that they make sense. They have to be automated and as abuse free as possible.

Thanks for the update.

First you had to introduce the Multi Vouching rule, now this. I wonder what they'll come up with next to try and get around site rules.

I think this rule should be in both PSS and Ebook bazzar, maybe even in MT.
Great work anyway

You are right about that - it is a constant war out there and the competitive edge is peaking.

In such a scenario, you could shoot yourself in the foot which is a no-go. Too bad that members abuse anything and everything that they can.

Why? You plan on making more accounts to have your MT and Ebook threads bumped too?

Good update.
Thanks Omni.

[J. McCarthy]

Definitely unfortunate.


Kinda sucks that I use people posting to hide their post ID/user in the product for leaks but oh well.
Oh well will make those people PM or email I spose

[Riyu]

Thank god. Great update Omni.

Im getting my popcorn ready for this one.

This was definitely needed. I’ve heard of sellers abusing new accounts for a while now.

[Saltpeter]

Certainly a good change, can't really see any negatives with this one.
