'Bumper car' sales threads

[alternativeroute]

I use this function when I browse AVForums South Africa: http://www.avforums.co.za/index.php?action=unread

Lately there have been a lot of 'bumper car' sales threads. The rules clearly state:

* No excessive bumping, i.e. posting nonsense purely for the sake of bringing your thread up again. If you have something meaningful to add to the thread, add it, otherwise please do not add useless noise to the forum. We'd like to avoid threads containing large amounts of useless "bump" posts. If you feel like your ad isn't getting enough attention because too many sold/completed threads are above it, you may post a reply once every 3 days. If you feel like you have to bump your ad at least try add something useful like another picture or a specs link

I have nothing against bumping per say but I would like it if a 'bump' has either more pictures and info or a 'substantive price reduction' (say 10%).

Please can the mods curb the Dutch auction sales threads as I feel I have missed some important threads that have gotten lost (well more missed) in the unread posts page...

Perhaps even consider changing 'bump timing' to 7 days  :thinking:
