Someone please explain to me what a bump is again. (Like I was a six year old!) Seriously. 
...
...
A bump is a post that only serves to bump the topic back to the top of the list.
Newest posts/threads are always shown first, so people bump their threads so that they are on top of the list where everyone sees them.
Such posts are (in example):
bump
bumb
ttt
up
^
PM replied
PM sent
Or simply just a smiley
All just serve to bring the topic up to position one again.
And as we already said they interfere with the search and the view new posts function.

OK...
I will explain it for JBSPEED one last time.
JB, I don't own the forum and I don't act like I do. If I would do so or in fact would own it, you would have been banned the day you posted the first time here.
I have absolutely no problem at all when people want to sell their stuff. I don't even have a problem when people want to make money.
But this forum is a car forum for enthusiasts. Everyone here talks about their cars. While doing so, you are going to sell and buy and that's fine.
Now, vendors that just come here to sell and make money are fine as long as they don't interfere too much. We accept it, since it is a good thing for our members. But only up to a ceratin point.
What just recently happened is not only your fault!
You mentioned Trinity... So, let's talk about them...
Trinity, that's guys who in fact have E60's and share the passion of owning BMW's.
Of course they bump more than you (more threads, etc.), and I don't like it at all!!!
This new policy is NOT a policy against JBSPEED, it is a policy that is made to make this forum the place it has been before.
You are just one little piece of the problem.
Now, back to your replica selling...
When registering for this forum, you have agreed to our terms of use, the rules here on e60.net.
Very basic rules, but it clearly says:
You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this bulletin board to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law.
So, the mods and admins of this forum already have the right to ban you and delete your threads. Think about it, and think about how we have treated you so far...
If you still feel this is just against you, I can't really help you.
I am pretty sure the rules we will write up will clearly state NO REPLICA sales here. But as just stated above, we don't really need to, since you have agreed to not post anything that is against the law, and replicas are at least violative of copyright laws worldwide!
Now, in general, the latest bump war was started by eurorev, who bumped all of his threads. And he seems to have posted everything he has in stock here. Right after you, JBSPEED, have bumped your threads. At this point we had about 40 bumps and all private sales from members who share the passion and are known enthusiasts were bounced off page 1. I knew what's going to happen next, and it happened. The west coast woke up and we had more bumps... And when Trinitys threads were bumped I've had enough and got in a conversation with our admin about it. That is what I am here for!
You are just ONE of the guys that bump excessively.
You are the only one though, who is only here to sell and doesn't seem to share the passion, and who violates worldwide laws, even though you have agreed to not do so.
This discussion is over, JB. Don't reply!
Thank you,
Andr? "Iceman"

I'm amazed how quickly this thread grew overnight, sheesh. Renaldo you said it best, thank you! 
Now, it seems like the idea of creating a "Vendor Classifieds" sub section is unanimously thought of as a good idea. We'll take it step-by-step and create this section first, populate with related threads, and see what happens. I'm not looking to split the classifieds into 50 different sub sections.

To all Classifieds Posters:
As of today, if you "bump" your thread here in the classifieds sub-forum, the entire thread will be deleted. By bumping your thread we mean your typical "bump" post, in addition to "PM Sent/Replied/Answered" type posts, and any unnecessary "thank you" type postings all of which serve no purpose other than to move the thread in question up. This type of activity clutters up the forum and quickly moves items from private sellers from public view.
In addition, due to the large amount activity as of late, we're thinking to possibly split up the classifieds sub-forum into private sales which would continue to be posted on the main classifieds sub-forum page and create a new "Vendor Sales" related sub-forum for those type of postings. What do you all think?
Finally, by the end of this year, we're thinking of instituting some very basic rules here to hopefully eliminate some of the recent complaints we've been getting.
What do you all think about these issues?

My opinions.
- Separate vendor and private seller classified sections
- All For sale items should have prices, especially Vendors
- One bump or "to the top" per day for private sellers and one per week for vendors

#2 is a problem for vendors that sell below the minimum allowed advertised price and #3 is almost impossibe for us to control. That would be too much work.
#3: Yes it will be hard to police but us members usually help. After a few TO's you will see the bumps stop.
I belong to a few other forums with these types of rules and everything seems to be running pretty smooth.
