With the new rule changes, auctions are not allowed to be bumped. I am suggesting that whoever is in charge of the forums format adds a Recently Active Auction list. Much like the Recently Active Thread list, it would have only Auctions, Reverse Auctions, and Supporter Auctions. The Auctions will not show up in Recently Active Threads at all so that the main thread list stays clean of Auctions. With that said, the bumping rule could be revoked and the standard 3 hour bump for auctions could be reimplement due to it not spamming forum threads.
Suggested and denied atm. Difficult feasibility to accomplish with this version of xenforo. The options on the table were to remove auctions from the recent threads completely or institute the bumping limitation. We choose the second option. It will take some time to adjust and we know that. We also have every faith that you all are perfectly capable of said adjustment.
