Hi! I want to finally sit down and make my trade thread, but before I do so, I just want to clarify some things so that I don't accidentally break any rules or cause inconvenience :"D
1) I see on a lot of people's trade threads that they keep the first ten posts on the first page "reserved" (filling all of those 10 posts with their own replies) so that they can create a table of contents, navigation between each post, etc... will that count as bumping? I know I would like to do the same myself, but if I post 10 things rapidly to keep the first page clear, will that be "spam?" Should I just trust that nobody else will post on the first page/write on the very first post "please don't post in this thread" :"D
2) On a similar note, I'm not confident in creating a fully-developed, proper, nice looking trade thread all in one go. Is posting a trade thread as a WIP allowed? So that I can come back to it and format it even more at a later date, so long as there is enough to be functional for the time being? :"D
Thank you for your help!
