Autobump Script-Banned
"You have been flagged for using an autobumping script. This is your only warning. Please turn it off immediately or you might face a permaban in the near future.

If you want your trades to autobump, subscribing is the only way to go."

I'm banned from Outpost, for not doing anything. This has made me furious. All I do is use Outpost like every one else and this is what happens, I get banned and no one has appealed, I sit in front of my computer, trading and bumping my posts manually and by myself, this is incredibly unfair and outrageous, either 1)The technology they use to verify if people have been using autobumps scripts is broken, or 2)They based it completely off of assumption, and either way this needs to be fixed. Funny thing is, I didn't even know autobumping scripts existed before the ban I got. But this doesn't seem like a technological mistake because the admin who wrote my report says "Please turn it off immediately or you might face a permaban in the near future" as to scare me, then below it says "If you want your trades to autobump, subscribing is the only way to go" Trying to use that as a way to make me pay for subscription because I wouldn't get banned. I didnt think much of it at first but when I started processing it something seemed fishy, I just thought it would be too weird of a coincidence for 5+ people to be falsely accused of a ban. Someone look into this.

Stop making accusations. The system is automated and if it caught you it was for a reason. How do you bump your trades?

I bump my trades by myself, I sat in front of my computer and used my own hands to bump my trades. Honestly, I wasn't trying to make accusations but I was mad and was just trying connect the dots and using the stuff that other people told me.

I apologize for what I said, I would just appreciate if you tried to look into this, this whole situation seems suspicious how there is 10+ people with false bans and complaining about the same thing I am, maybe it's not a coincidence.

The same thing happened to me and I am definetly not autobumping my trade, so if the system is automated i really think it is flawed or has some bug . I mean if you check how often I update I never even done it exactly every 30minutes
Many of the banned users say the same thing and after a while they confess they were using scripts, because as I said the check is automated. If you are so good at bumping that you act like a robot then I suggest you change your bumping habits, whatever they are.

I was not using scripts, I can't confess to something I've never heard of, all I want to do is trade, so I'd appreciate if my ban was appealed. If you guys have the technology to see, you will realize that while I was offline, nothing was bumped....possibly because I've never used a script.

Its not automated, its admin determined. In my case, I was a former subscriber who had "trade is autobumped" in trade text but didnt remove it after subscription ran out. Admin thought that was enough proof. Ban.

Not verified at all, and certainly not automated.
