As stated from the get go, first sentence of this thread. I was wrong. I'll say it again. I was wrong.
I'm NOT the only intelligent person who was wrong.
Thank you to those who participated. The world is not a perfect place, and neither is rctech. I can accept that and move on. The rules are what they are. I have read them, but never studied them. The ambiguous part of this rule regarding the first bump seems dumb to me now that I realize you get a "free first bump". Some call it a loophole, some call it a free bump, and some act as if they always knew it existed all along.
According to several of you I am an emotional crybaby. Maybe that's true. I can also accept that. Keep saying I'm "butt hurt". I'm pretty sure posting that is against the rules.
Mods: please review badaml's latest infraction to me for making a personal insult. Calling a rule enforcer out on a widely misunderstood rule that I honestly thought he broke should not be a reprimanded offense. America, freedoms, and all that jazz. I sort of now accept the first bump rule, but it was not made clear enough for a fool like myself, and I assumed the first bump should wait a day. I called him out, and I was wrong. He may have been insulted by me, but there was no personal insult stated.. Even when I pointed out he was asking to trade for something he already said he didn't want, and then issued an infraction for a personal insult on his WTT thread. Again here I am being "butt hurt". Thanks guys, I had to look it up on the urban dictionary.

So this is ok: http://www.rctech.net/forum/r-c-item...pos-deans.html
And I can bump a 3rd time at 12:00am, just 26 hours after my original post. Weird, but I guess that's the rule.

The first post of the rules thread has been edited to clarify the rule.
If you choose not to read the 7 "useless"
posts that outline and clarify those rules in more detail, that's your choice. Don't blame the mod staff for infractions because you choose to be lazy.
The rule has been the same for almost 13 years! We're not changing it now because a couple people can't figure it out.
End of Story.
