replying to my own thread?

You may only bump your thread once every 8 hours.

Rule that states this:

• Excessive Bumping: No double posting or bumping in threads within 8 hours of your last post in a given thread

If you see people conversing in their market threads, then report the posts where they do that at the top right corner of the post where it says "Report", and they will receive an infraction for bogus bumping if this is the case as that would bring their thread to the top everytime they post a reply, and that could easily be prevented by PMing them on Sythe to discuss there, or on another platform (Skype, Discord).

Rule that states this:

• Bogus Posting or Bumping: All posts and bumps in market/trading sections of the site must relate to bona-fide (real) trades. You may not bump your sales thread if you are not legitimately ready to trade at the time of bumping. You may not post or bump with the sole intention of increasing post count or presence.

 

I think it's because you have to quote their post in your reply, but that could be extremely wrong on my end just assuming on that.
