Despite the marketplace rules clearly stating what you can and can't do on your own marketplace thread, lots of sellers seem to be picking up careless warnings for breaking our rules.
I'm hoping this thread clears up any confusion around the marketplace and hopefully stops users getting warnings for something as simple as thread bumping. While the rules are simple the consequences can be a little brutal,
users who continue to bump their sales threads after being warned will have their threads shut.
Thread bumping is considered to be spam, if you are unfairly gaming the system by keeping your thread bumped with any sort of system such as fake profiles, asking your friends to leave comments or by any other means we will close your thread and you could
lose the ability to sell on BHW.

The Marketplace Rules
What is thread bumping?
When members post on a thread this thread will be moved to the top of the sub forum. This keeps relevant and recent topics at the top of a forum for users to find, and lets older topics that no one is interested in anymore to slowly disappear down into the deeper pages.
Obviously, if you own a sales thread on BHW you probably want your marketplace thread to be at the top of the sub forum for as long as possible so that users will always see your products first... Thankfully BHW offers this as an additional service.
If you are interested in a sticky thread
please fill in the advertising form here. A member of our team will be in touch soon and will assist you in sorting this. Paying for a sticky thread will keep your thread at the top of the sub forum at all times so you don't need to worry about thread bumping. This means more users will see your product and buy from you.
Please note that buying a sticky thread will not allow you to break our rules, please continue reading even if you plan on doing this.
When can we post on our threads?
Hopefully this super simple diagram will explain if you can post on your sales thread.
