Changes to auto-bump
As you know, donating money to tf2outpost.com gives you an option to auto-bump your trades. This is great for giving your trades more exposure and attracting more traders, but it is abused my many users.

Try searching for people selling salvaged crates. Back when they first came out, there were worth a lot. Now, not so much. So what you're left with are trades that are auto-bumped every few hours with the traders asking for grossly inaccurate and outdated prices.

And that's just a few of them. There plenty more like them out there.

Anyways, I think something should be done about the auto-bump. Right now, it allows outdated trades to take up large portions of the first page for certain items.

My solution would be to make it so you have to manually update a trade after a certain amount of time. This would keep abandoned trades off the front page while also allowing anyone who is bullheaded enough to still try to sell for three times the backpack.tf value, keep doing that.

Suggested and discussed in the Suggestion Section many times. There seems to be no interest to solve the issue of abandoned trades whatsoever.

Trades that have been really abandoned can be reported.

update your system period. it could use a lot of changes to improve it.

when will donations be enabled if ever? i've never seen them open.
so all these people who are barely online are constantly taking up page 1 of items.
really the auto bumping has almost no purpose anyway.

if you could see who is ONLINE, now that would be useful.
and help people actually find trades fast.

You just necro'd a month old thread to propose a feature that already exists.
