An Idea.

Should we have moderators remove thread one the item is sold/bought?

Re: An Idea.

No, because it's always good to reference back to. However, the original poster should edit the item to say SOLD in the subject so that everyone knows. If they don't do it, please report the post and I'll do it for them.

Re: An Idea.

That would fix the problem. It seems few people do that.

Re: An Idea.

One more thing: Can we add a descriptive title rule? "WTT/WTB" is not very helpful.

Re: An Idea.

I'm not sure what you mean. WTT is want to trade and WTB is want to buy

Re: An Idea.

Mzungu was kind enough to start a thread with acronyms for those that aren't internet savy.

Also....the thread titles don't allow for a long list of things so seeing wtt/wtb seems appropriate.

I agree with HFB, deleting of threads would not be ideal.

Just my $0.02 worth.

Re: An Idea.

wouldn't it be better if they said what was up for  "wtt/wtb" in the title?

Better? Maybe.  Isn't that big a deal.   :)

Re: An Idea.

lock the thread once and item is sold



i want to be a mod..pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Re: An Idea.

Yeah it never seemed like a big deal.......regardless of whether it stated in the title or not I would click and open it.

[Mzungu]

Re: An Idea.

True, it's not a big deal, but I certainly would prefer if the poster put something other than "WTB" or "For Sale." It kinda goes along with HFB's comment about future reference.

And yes, it would be ideal if the author of the post edited the title to inform everyone the item's been sold, etc. But, we'll live if it doesn't happen.  :wink:

Maybe Ken can give an in-service on Internet/Forum Etiquette?

Re: An Idea.

if we make any type of new rules, i think we should make it to where you have to fill out your specific location before you can sign up as a new member on here. i see so many people replying to posts saying "please specify your location."

just my .02

Re: An Idea.

I agree....location is a problem with just about every single forum out there when it comes to the blackmarket section.

Re: An Idea.

I asked Ken about this in the past (I think you first mentioned it a while ago, J-WS6) but I don't remember what he said.
