First off, excuse me if I sound arrogant. It's 3 AM and I'm finding it harder to concentrate. Anyway...
The "vouch bump" system is particularly good for ensuring legitimate sellers to stay visible to the community because, generally, the people who do a lot of sales are legitimate sellers. These good trades have the bonus of bringing their thread up. It is a win for the community because the system automatically takes care of the trustworthy sellers.
However, for people like myself who sell only 0-3 items a day, relying on vouch-bumping is more difficult. My sales depend on my wares being available for viewing by a lot of people, in hopes that one item I am selling is exactly what a particular customer wants. I try and increase volume by increasing diversity, but I frankly cannot produce every single type of account that exists in RS. I get a lot of views in my threads with little people posting, because they simply do not see what they want. I don't think it needs to be pointed out that gold sales have a much lower scam risk than account sales, so it would be doubly beneficial if people saw my thread and avoided buying from the obvious evader who is selling a $500 account for only $80.
Anyway, TL;DR is: I'm glad that you are allowing "vouch bumps" as an informal system, but is there something for those of us who do account sales and have low sales volume?
P.S. Is this rule one bump every 24 hours per thread, or is it one bump per person, per thread? Thanks.
