I think the spirit of this first rule is to keep people from making 8 threads for content or 8 threads for domains instead of one thread selling them all. But wouldn't it be best to have the content and the domains in two different threads for the buyers to be able to find what they are looking for easier?
Yes you would be allowed two threads. Once again the idea of these rules is to create threads with content, domain, etc packages, not 40 threads, one for each domain or girl that is in a content package.

2) A month bump seems like a very long time. Like others have said the forum would go stale. It would be harder for buyers to find active products to buy, not easier. Something that is no longer available would be lumped together with stuff that is still available. Bumping keeps the available stuff on the first three pages. With this rule being so long a buyer might have to sort through many different pages trying to find what they want.
There are other ways to move your thread to the top of the first page with out typing "Bump" or "Just bumping!" Post something relevant, add a discount, throw an additional domain into the deal, add a new girl to a content package. Posting in your thread is allowed. It just needs to be relevant and productive.

3) One thread a week seems pretty reasonable. But I know some domainers rely on speed. So if they get a domain and have to wait 5 days to make a thread about it they might start going elsewhere. Maybe doing it by a certain number a month?
We are going to start at this limitation, and if people can behave themselves I will look at moving that number up.

4) See 3 above. This also might pertain to content brokers. Would them adding their new product to the bottom of a thread count as a bump or as something else? I think I read you might allow this as not being a bump but adding something relevant to the deal so long as we don't have something where a domainer bumps their thread each day of the week with a new domain... trickling them out. Although... I think bumping once a day is a good way of keeping the first three pages fresh with good offers.

Thanks for making the effort to tackle this problem!
As stated above, adding to a thread is not considered a bump, unless it is just a brain dead posting of "Bump" or "Bumping this." Adding relevant or productive posts to a thread is allowed, if that bumps the thread, good for you.
