Page 1 Thread Limits [Poll]

[EpicNPC]

Earlier this year in March we updated our thread limits for the amount of threads a seller can have on page one. Below are the currently limits with the old limits in parentheses.

High activity sections = 10 threads (up from 4)
Medium activity = 20 threads (up from 6)
Low activity = 30 threads (up from 12)

Now that we've had enough time for people to get used to them I wanted to see how everyone felt about them so I setup a poll.

If you have a more detailed response feel free to post it below.

 

[The Integrity]

It was a huge increase. Should have been 4 -> 6 (or no increase at all)

 

[MistiServices]

Its trash change, too many threads on 1st page , and lots of spam ( which doesnt look like spam )

 

[Taki]

The thread limit increase has created an unfair platform for everyone, there are some crafty sellers who abuse these limits.

Instead of grouping their accounts/services in 1 or 2 threads, they choose to create 10 threads for each of their accounts/services. Their goal is to push their competitors(other members) to the bottom of the first page or onto the second page as much as possible. So they can attract the attention of more buyers.

50 threads are displayed on the first page, therefore:

Instead of allowing max 5 members who have created 10 threads each to show their threads,

By reducing the maximum thread limit to 3 per member, you can ensure that 50/3 = 17 members can show their threads on the first page. Or,

By reducing the maximum thread limit to 4 per member, you can ensure that 50/4 ~ 13 members can show their threads on the first page.

This will create a fair marketplace where all members, including new sellers, can attract more buyers/sellers for their stuffs.

 

[MavisV]

as others said , i felt the limits now are too much , one person make the 1st page drowned by too much threads and even some of them is the same service/account but in different names !!
i vote for huge decrease

 

[EpicBoost]

should be 3 max in every section in my opinion

 

[Aeroless]

Agreed. The limits before felt better.

should be 3 max in every section in my opinion

 

[minmaxzero]

3 max for every seller (excluding sticky threads ofc being ads).

 

[Futen]

I would to say 4 threads is too many if we look at the Honkai star rail section, it's more like extremly high activty,

imagine you create 1 thread, after a few hours , your thread get pushed down to pages 7 before the bumping time is over
the sellers who only creates 1 -2 threads, they were forced to slam the price to sell quickly, as a result all prices on the market fell within a few days,
Honestly, I don't like prices competition just because they don't get to be on page 1 for longer.
That's all, hopefully we prioritize a fair competition

 

[DidoKu]

I think there should be a maximum of 3. After a bump my thread is pushed to the 2nd or 3rd page within half an hour. It needs to be decreased for every seller.

 

[Qzarel]

I believe 3 seems fair for every section.

 

[kokikuen]

3 max its better

 

[solariszero]

Gonna second what everyone here has been saying and said that there should just be a maximum of three. I tend to post buying threads, which are often drowned out when there's multiple posts by the same person continuously being bumped instead.

 

[EydanGold]

3 threads seems the most reasonable

 

[Gridd]

4 to 6 seems fine before and is tolerable. 10 is a lot.

 

[Tim073]

Max 3 threads would be good. if people want to be on top just buy sticky

 

[RailgunMS]

I would say 3-4 post for the 1st page is the best max limit
Sometimes 1 person have a lot of threads in the 1st page

 

[AbbeyDawn]

I hate when the thread became 10 on each forum, cause many new sellers posted spam threads (and they also copied my thread template), but I also hate the old system where you can only put 3-5 threads on page 1 of the forum.

So I think 6-8 is the best option. Don't revert to old system.

I'm an old seller, and my business is dead if I can only put 3 threads on page 1.

 

[HaniOtaku]

It was a huge increase. Should have been 4 -> 6

6 is too much i beleive 4 threads should be the maximum and 3 will be best since with current system your thread wont stay on first page for more then few mins
if you have a lot of threads its better to consolidate them into one thread or wait till the first threads moved to second page to bump more
@EpicNPC
im wondering also if its possible to increase the total threads that can show up on first page

 

[MMOprovider]

3-4 threads on page 1 per section works fine. Having too many threads will cause spamming issues and not every seller wants to bump their threads all the time.

 

[EastLin]

agree with 3 max

 

[XaGuardian]

Banned - TG 156051 dispute

I'm following the most voted

 

[Tony and Friends]

1-3 topics limit is good
the less - better

 

[Ramadha.B.R]

3 threads is fair enough

3 for selling / buying thread
1 for boosting
1 for ingame currency

There are several seller who create 2 or 3 thread for Boosting or Ingame currency, they lazy to put at same thread.

 

[PELOQ]

Agree 3 max

 

[Neoex]

3-4 doesn’t work in scenarios like the FFXI section where page 1 goes back months.

I like the idea of having the different thresholds
For high medium low activity forums

 

[Saber_Dc]

Agreed, the limits should be lower. Buyers have to wade through more pages to find what they need while seller can post many accounts that have same price range in one thread instead of creating multiple threads and make others go far away.

 

[KieLD01]

I think 10 is a lot, maybe 3 or max 5 threads would be better.

 

[Saber_Dc]

For example, algorithms detect how often sales posts are posted in a thread/game. The higher the frequency, the lower the limit, around 3-4. I also think there should be more thresholds

 

[MoonMeAndHer]

3-4

 

[Heaven Guardian]

It's fine like this, if you have a lot of accounts to sell you should be able to show them

 

[evanderh18]

I agree with 3 max posts

 

[Senad]

I prefer it to be 4 - 7 max

 

[chec0]

there are too many people spamming I think 3 is enough

 

[Team A_Y_M]

maybe 3-4 threads on page 1 would be better.

 

[Dragonwyck8828]

Yes, all should be lowered​

 

[MausFarm]

Honestly, I don’t understand why anyone needs more than one selling thread and more than one buying thread if these are not accounts or private servers
If you want to be at the top and attract attention, just buy pinned or bump

 

[Sasoriyo]

Honestly, 4 was a good and fair number

 

[Neoex]

For FFXI for example if it’s 3, I would only be able to sell 3 accounts per year because page 1 goes back 11 months. I have been the leading seller in the FFXI forum for about 11 years now.

I generally post 3-5 per month. The limit of 3 would be a terrible decision for the FFXI forum

 

[Quadroware]

4 best

 

[DeltaPi]

No matter active or not active it needs to be max around 3-6 per user (if it still remain 50 threads on the page one)

 

[Greel]

Earlier this year in March we updated our thread limits for the amount of threads a seller can have on page one. Below are the currently limits with the old limits in parentheses.

High activity sections = 10 threads (up from 4)
Medium activity = 20 threads (up from 6)

Agree 3 is max better

 

[kaido100]

I think 4-6

 

[DeltaPi]

But I also think there are some exception forums that might will need different rules

 

[Thecurator]

3-4 for each user, for each game section

 

[Bakuzni]

If someone needs 10 threads, just make a single thread and have everything in spoilers. easy win for the seller and all buyers

 

[mubi]

4 thread max to reduce spam

 

[Segnaless]

I liked when there were a maximum of 3 thread on the forum.
Many sellers abuse new limited by openning in the same topics.

 

[Coffee_vikri]

I vote 4-6 max, it's depend of the game forum activities

 

[SECURITYLEVELING]

3 should be ok
