Other forums have the same type rules about multiple threads. Here is the one from CU. I believe we need the same.

I saw that screen shot and went back and looked at all the pages SINCE that time on that BST and what I found is that this was the ONLY instance of more than 2 back-to-back threads. So 1 a month isn't that bad where we need a "rule" for it (IMHO). Granted, threads could have been updated between initial posting and the latest update, so it might not be 100% accurate when the thread was initially POSTED, but that only means that someone must have had interest or it was bumped by the OP.
Because it was a buyer and not a seller, it doesn't make my comments way off base. From what I've read in all the posts to date, it seems like most COMPLAINTS are from sellers, not buyers. Or at least in looking at the thread history of a number of those with this view, it seems they post more threads to sell than to buy/trade. But it WAS just a quick sampling.
The point wasn't about who posted or WHY, but it was an attempt to address the seller concerns about "bumping them down the list" and asking for a rule. I was simply trying to point out how I peruse the listings and why, as a buyer, this isn't a big deal to me.

TOTALLY AGREE it's a common courtesy issue. And that people have it or they don't. But if you make it a rule, then it's not common "courtesy" anymore, is it? And why mask the character of those that abuse this privilege anyway?
