shadowsurfer54 said:And that's just plain wrong!
I've been saying this for ages. People on Reddit need to wake up. You see these discussions about the economy and everyone acts like it’s some mystery, but it’s simple math. They keep hiking interest rates and then act shocked when people can't afford a decent house in Austin or anywhere else. It’s ridiculous. And don't even get me started on what electrictiger23 said earlier. Total nonsense. Just more noise from people who haven't spent a single day working a real job. If you actually look at the data instead of just reacting emotionally, the pattern is obvious. It's frustrating to watch.
I’ve seen this movie before. It’s always the same pattern with these types of people. They walk in here acting like they have all the answers, completely ignoring how things actually work on the ground. It’s pure delusion. Look at what electrictiger23 is saying—it's just noise. Total nonsense. You can’t just ignore the reality of the situation and expect everyone to nod along. I remember back when I was working in Chicago, dealing with similar bureaucratic nonsense, and it ended exactly like this: a complete waste of everyone's time. People like this just want to hear themselves talk. It's exhausting.

It’s obvious. The dates in those links line up perfectly with when they added the supplements to the "Mobile Marketplace" listings—updates that don't mention any bumps at all.

Since the Mobile subforum sits right "below" the Classifieds section, common sense dictates that they should follow the same rules—except, of course, that the regulations for phones are a bit more relaxed.
Look, here's the deal: if it isn't explicitly stated in the mobile section rules, then you default to the Marketplace guidelines. Period. And if it’s not even mentioned in those Marketplace rules? Then the general site policies take over. It's simple logic. Reddit RulesListen, you all need to read the rules before you even think about posting on this forum!

I've already proven this isn't true—just look at the rule prohibiting personal info in classified ads.

Then go ahead and give yourself a citation.
I can't believe people are still falling for this nonsense. It’s honestly pathetic how much some folks will swallow just because they want to feel like they’re part of something "special." Look at the sheer stupidity on Reddit lately. Every single day, there's some user acting like they've discovered fire, when really they're just repeating the same tired propaganda that's been circulating for years. It’s mindless. I remember back in high school, we had this one kid who thought he was a genius because he figured out how to bypass the school's firewall—turns out, he just unplugged the router. That's exactly what's happening here. People think they're being "disruptive" or "intellectual," but they're really just unplugging the router. And don't even get me started on the comments. You see someone like brighttinker48 jumping in with those half-baked arguments, thinking they've made a point, and then you have electrictiger23 nodding along like it's gospel. It’s a circle jerk of mediocrity. If you actually take a second to apply any basic logic—just a shred of common sense—you'd see through this immediately. But no, everyone wants to be an expert. Everyone wants to have an opinion. It’s exhausting. Stop being sheep. If you can't see the obvious flaws in this argument, you shouldn't be posting. Period.

That "written rule" applies to the 'Classifieds' subforum. Nowhere does it say those rules apply to the cell phone section. We have specific subforums for hardware and phones for a reason.

Since the 'Mobile Market' subforum has its own dedicated thread with its own set of rules (which doesn't mention a bump ban), and it makes zero mention of following the rules from other sections, it's common sense that the rules listed right there are the only ones you need to follow.

Take the issue of posting personal info or phone numbers in an ad. On the main 'Classifieds' board, that's been
forbidden since 2007.

But on the 'Mobile Market,' they didn't implement that until 2010.

Nobody was acting like a smart-ass during those three years and handing out infractions to people selling phones with their contact info just because the 'Classifieds' rules said so... mainly because the 'Mobile Market' rules didn't prohibit it until 2010.
This proves the 'Classifieds' rules don't automatically carry over to the 'Mobile Market.'

And use some logic here: someone trying to sell a phone is going to read the rules on the 'Mobile Market' page (if they even bother reading at all), not spend five days digging through every single other subforum on the site just to make sure they don't accidentally break some obscure rule while posting an ad.

Yeah, I actually caught an infraction myself for bumping a post five days after listing it, and I didn't even get a warning first. For years, people were bumping on the 'Mobile Market' without any issues.
It seems to me the moderators are just power-tripping and stirring up trouble where none is needed.
