BUMPING THREADS
Be reminded that bumping your thread will not necessarily take your thread to the top of the listings. It will only push your thread to Page 1 of the marketplace your thread is posted to. There is no internal issue or anything else.
Also, multiple members might bump their threads on the same marketplace (e.g. 5 users bumping their thread on the WSO section), and then send me a PM asking me why their thread isn't on top 1. Again, there are other members bumping their thread. Whoever bumps first will have a higher position listing.
WSO's & ALL PAID THREADS
Sigh...another reminder because there are sellers who just don't seem to read the rules.
Ignorance of the rules excuses no one.
Anyway, ALL paid threads (WSO, Classified, Warriors for Hire, etc.) are subject for moderation and review before they are approved. Normally that takes 24-48 hours but may take longer when you post on a Friday or during a public holiday.
For
WSO vendors, please make sure you have a visible checkout link on your sales page. By visible that means it should be legible, clear, and easily seen by everyone.
Do not copy and paste your sales copy on the WSO editor as it will include the source formatting, and will display as HTML when saved here on Warrior Forum. Please use BBCode. We have a guide
here.
Offers with WarriorPlus checkouts are automatically rejected. PLR products are not allowed on the WSO section, and are automatically moved to Warrior Classifieds.
Lastly,
all paid threads are valid for only one year. Initially, this only covered WSO listings but we've recently seen members bump threads posted in, say 2010, and add something like "Updated in 2022" or whatever year it is.
We've decided to implement this marketplace-wide, and retroactively so that means threads that are more than 1 year old are automatically closed and deleted. We have already
announced this rule update in January.
You will, of course, receive a message indicating your thread has been deleted, and the reason for its deletion.
As always, feel free to reach out
Help desk for questions.
::
Reminding everyone to
read the WSO marketplace rules here -
https://www.warriorforum.com/warrior...ace-rules.html
ALL WSOs are subject to moderation before they appear live and public.
WSOs are moderated within 24-72 hours, but might take longer when on weekends, or public holidays. Rest assured we will make sure you will receive a notification once your WSO has been approved or rejected.
While it is admin's duty to review and moderate the WSOs on a daily basis, it's also the member's due diligence to
read, review, and fully understand the marketplace rules.
I'd like to put emphasis on the ff:
- Visible checkout link on both Classic and Modern views.
- Deceptive offers, saying it's free but would lead customers to a payment after opting with their emails.
- Income claim on titles, regardless of how the title is written.
- Bumps on threads that are already more than one year old.
If your WSO remains unpublished for more than a week, please check and edit your offer!
When you edit your offer, make sure all the missing fields are complete:
- Product image
- Category
- Price
- Tags
- Availability
When you have saved your offer, click on the
Modernize my WSO button, and save again.
And always make sure your WSO has a visible checkout button.

This supersedes the rule
update we made in January 2022.
To keep the Warrior Forum Marketplace fresh and updated with new listings, we're implementing new validity limitations:
- WSOs are valid for 3 months from date of posting. After 3 months, they will be closed but will remain accessible to the public.
- Paid listings under the Warrior Classifieds, Warriors For Hire, Other Website Products & Services, Wanted - Members Looking to Hire You, Web Hosting Offers, and Affiliate Program Database are valid for 6 months from the date of posting. After 6 months, they will be closed but will remain accessible to the public.
