Awhile ago Klesko suggested and we voted and we implemented on stopping the "reply bumping" and new thread creation bumping in the sales forums; however, the "reply" to any thread bumped is still bumping threads automatically on the "What's New" page which is out front for everyone to see and everyone knows this; there are a lot of people abusing this and buddying up to get reply bumps (when there's been no transactions) or the random 0-0-0 (meaning they bought nothing or they claim to buy, then received no feedback LOL) is replying to threads simply to OVERRIDE the already implemented 3 bumps per day per account rule that's been implemented.
Just my two cents.
