another reason for controlling the bumps is that, everyone who posts their items in the classifieds section needs money.  And selfishness gets in the way in such that a sellers will always want their item on the first page for the duration that the items isn't sold yet.

Other sellers miss the privelege of staying on the first two pages for as long as they possibly can.  So to be fair to all, especially to those who aren't stuck in front of their PC, BUMP CONTROL is a must.

it was a lot a worse back in the days, where everyone keeps bumping their items 10x a day.  I used to bump mine 3x a day!  :lol:

may record holder nga eh, 16x!  I won't say who it is though.   :-)

The status tag and the corresponding star count/colour under the callsign are automatically changed as you reach a set amount of posts. (Forum Fanatic at 500, Addictus at 1000, and so on.)

I'd like to share my take on this though.

I believe that Philmusic is primarily a community-centric venue for musicians. However, it's also known as a trade emporium with good visibility and traffic. We know about the complexity of a musician's gear. Then there are times where shipping money and gear is the only viable option between buyer and seller. All these factors give us plenty of ways to be scammed.

That's why there are times when I look at a person's "status". Forgive the generalisation, but I believe that there are two types of forumites in PhilMu.
1. Those who contribute in the discussion threads and post in the classfieds.
2. Those who post in the classifieds alone.

I think considering member status is one safeguard to avoid scams. I have nothing against merchants in the forums, but sometimes, you can tell from the post if a deal is sketchy. Of course, I sometimes tend to read previous posts of the person I want to deal with just to make sure he didn't become a "Forum Fanatic" by posting "Up!" and smileys alone. :lol:

Bottom line, I'm more comfy dealing with contributing members, regardless of status - as long as he doesn't have just a couple of posts under his belt, all in the Classifieds section.


I agree, there's a lot of good deals at the Classifieds section, but if the TS is mainly a Classifieds section regular, something just doesn't feel right about the deal. I think I'm better off dealing with forumite regulars who have been around long enough & have a reputation to protect  :-D :-D

it's a term used to literally bring UP your post/thread na natabunan nang mga bago or sumunod na post sa mismong thread mo. :-)

this should help out:

Regarding up guidelines
« Reply #83 on: February 11, 2013, 12:54:02 AM »
Hi newbie here 8-) 8-).... I just would like to ask why my thread got locked all what I did is to up the item that I am selling every other day. And nareceive ko yung warning nung nagup ako ng dalawang beses sa isang araw after that never ko na ginawa.

 Actually, I was not able to see any rules and guidelines about your "up" rules on the website. I tried to check your help page and wala.....Pasensya na talaga baguhan lang ako dito isn't it proper to warn members first before locking the thread that I created?....What I'm trying to say dapat alam ng member na meron kayong gagawin sa account para maavoid yung maling nagawa.

What about ung kapag nagpost ang isang member ng multiple threads by mistake hindi ba dapat ang member lang ang may karapatan naidelete ung thread na yon. Atsaka walang delete button sa thread. Please answer my questions ASAP.

Thanks..... :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

There is that saying that goes 'ignorance of the law does not exempt you from it'.

Just goes to show that one MUST read and understand the rules and FAQs in a most forums. In comparison to some, PM is quite forgiving.

- and we have the rules posted everywhere too. from the new members boards to the musicians forums down to the classifieds boards, it's just a click away actually. :-P
