Can we get clarification on this? Because I feel like people will get accused of bumping now for something as simple as maybe a delayed response to compliments on an auction piece :/ People have lives outside of a pixel pony game like jobs or hobbies that may make it take a few hours to even a day to respond to something like that. Or are we not allowed to thank people for giving compliments on a piece now??

I was wondering the same thing ^

Another thing I have seen people question is end date reminders. Some have been warned about this and some haven't, so there's now a line of confusion.

Agreed. Especially in auctions where instead of a set date when it ends, people say it ends xyz amount of time after the last bid. In situations like those, time reminders tend to be extremely beneficial to anyone wanting to bid but unsure if there is any time left.

Agree with all of the above, I've always posted time reminders the day before and a few hours before my auctions end and have never thought of it as bumping, but then recently some people have been called out about that.

^^ I agree

Honestly I feel like every comment from the OG poster - unless bid related (someone missed another persons bid or bid the wrong amount for MI's) is considered bumping.

would be nice for clarification as to what is and isnt bumping - just like clarification on veiled advertising.

Hey yall

So this is hear because of me

I got called out today for bumping by Art thread

When all I did was simply state the auction had a few days left for bids.

I was told this wasn't allowed and is against HEE forum rules

I've been doing art for almost 2 years

And I've seen other arts constantly do this

So my confusion why this an issue now

And why it seems I was the one to get called out

When all the other arts do the same thing
