Ive noticed the same 3-4 people often post on every. single. page. of the swap threads - would it be possible to get a cooldown period? maybe 30 minutes or an hour? the thread grows much faster than it needs to be when you have the same 5 ads on every single page of 10 posts
example: it is 30 min past rollover and one user currently has 21 posts on the thread. this is excessive. this is why people hate having to go to the swap thread because we have to weed through repetitive ads on every page to find new ones

Massive support!! The same ads on every page drown out other people's not spammy posts, and it's so hard to go through them, especially the image heavy ones! I almost never use swap threads anymore.
It states on every swap thread that "...you are not the only person using this thread" but so many just ignore this.
And when there's an event like Valentines? Nothing short of a nightmare!!
I try to be courteous of others and only post my own ad after at least 4-5 pages have passed, and I have no trouble receiving trades/swaps ^^

I only use the swap thread when im desperate or i just go back a few pages before RO & try to find different ads from people before rollover & see if by chance i can make a swap with them. reposting your add on 20+ consecutive pages is spam & needs to be treated as such. i feel once every 5 pages is fair even.. i dont need to read the same ads every page when I just want to find swaps.

Complete support! I use that thread rarely, like above, if I was desperate, I would use it. I would put maybe one ad on there, but it would take forever due to mass posting of so many other users. It would also be constantly shown on the front page. I so also see the waves of the same ad. I do agree it is spam, the cooldown would be a great way to counteract this.

Support.
I feel as though maybe prior it didn't seem *as* bad, but now that CS numbers seem to have gone down (no event) or at least it's the usual users around midnight/pet growth time it's just a lot of spamming. Also some posting in ways to get around loopholes of "no multiple posts the same page."

Thanks for bringing this up! We did decide to implement a 1 post per 60 minute rule (as with other swap threads like the event swap threads) moving forward to help reduce the spam on the threads

This is great, thanks. The mini events have always made the swap thread awful. Would there be a way to get a news announcement? A lot of people will keep posting without reading because they are used to posting every page.
