take a peek at the number of repeat buyers, as in three times a day, day in and day out in quite the few BST threads.
It's not a secret that bumping your own thread is something nobody even bothers to moderate.
There should be some kind of a 'boost' option for your BST thread and I'm not talking about 'Please Read' but something along the lines of a dollar for a bump to the top of your marketplace section and two dollars for an all-around bump to the top @Apricot
Maybe introduce tokens to make it more feasible.

That would make it pretty unfair to those that don't have much money to spend on bumping and would get out bumped by those that have a huge budget.

I wouldn't hold your breath. He probably deleted you for:
- Being a needy person
- Wanting technical support
- Asking "stupid" questions
- Being a customer
This is an account I wanted to flag up on the SL thread.
He mentioned that he had been dealing with @stealthexpert for about a year, but was asking for a review on Feb 2 2017...

bro that's why review copies exist, that's why you don't sell dogshit that nobody will buy, that's why you get a free 72 hour bump.
The current system sucks even more, I could purchase 50 proxies for 30 dollars a month and be at the top of the charts indefinitely , even manipulate other peoples experience of my competitors, seems a bit unfair to me?

No shit. They're not the only one who does that. Look at some of the most "popular" sellers and they all do it. You check the history of some buyers and they literally have NO posts on any other threads or contributed to the forum for years other than bumping the same thread over and over again with fake order IDs.

That would say something about your product - not your budget. Consider it a marketing expense, more than anything else.
Any ecosystem, that sees growth anywhere has to be simultaneously compared with the real world business ecosystem. The idea is simple, don't underprice yourself, keep a safe buffer for expenses and growth. In the strife for more orders, I have seen sellers sell at ridiculously low margins without a comfortable buffer. And most importantly, be honest with your clients. Honesty and communication will get you places. Here and everywhere.
If the above doesn't work for you, find/create your blue ocean.
The system is being gamed right now both in the black area - like the OP and the grey area. Like certain sellers who encourage their users to place orders via their website, then post the "Order Number" in the thread. At the end of every day, they quote all the posts and write something like "Order Processed" below it. This allows them to conveniently bypass the 72-hour rule, at the same time ensuring their threads hit the front page multiple times everyday.
A paid bumping option (with limits as seen fit by the staff) is super welcome actually. With any other posts producing no bump and a manual bump button provided to the OP every 72 hours or the option to utilize a purchased token to bump their thread every day. If the service is good, even a bump every third day would make a major difference.

Gaming the system so hard, this dude has a twitch stream where he does it live!

Hmmm. I've been watching the cock waiving on the shitlist and the other one that I can't find. Does it not seem a bit suss? Considering in my opinion, this guy is really good at covering his new accounts etc... this one seems a little suss? Copy and pasting yea, easy mistake but to put in a space seems a little thick and planned. Didn't notice that myself
Its a little too stupid?

How did you come across @stealthexpert?
As the cat is out of the bag, I would be interested to know what he offered you in return for posting here.

Don't forget about the fake accounts that simply ask for samples. Usually those requests are used from fake accounts to bump threads, as well.
