New sell thread everyday?

[Xiao_shin]

Realised some user post a new sell thread almost every other day. No price revision or update. Same wordings.

Kind of defeat the purpose of what the admin wanted in the sales section.

One even have lots of wordings in it.

You can always report those posts and the mods will get on it.

and we will summarily delete them - either when we find them or when it is being report.

sellers do not need to post new ones everyday. they just need to post an 'upz' to bring it to front view, even though the thread doesn't move. this is to make things neater. please refer to FAQ as this has been in effect for a while.

ok. Let clean up !!

I believe people do this because their threads get covered very quickly. Because the forums are sorted by "Thread Start Time", their threads quickly move to the next page. A "upz" wouldn't bring it back to the top, unless you sort it by "Last Post Time"

I believe people are frustrated by this, that's why. It takes a long time to sell your stuff, since your thread gets covered so quickly.

I feel sorting it by default to "Last Post Time" will help.

at least this is consider neat spamming..i think should restrict upz to at least 24hrs..posters doing so will get threads being deleted..

by spamming with new threads every 1 or 2 days..is a waste of resource..

[Daedalus Trent]

imho, the classified sub-forums works fine to me. Provided the TS deletes his old thread immediately after starting the new one?

is it a necessity to move your thread to the 1st page?

If a large number of people are doing that (and that seems to be the case), then yes

It's a vicious cycle, i'm afraid.

True, but from my experience, I find that the Search feature is not accurate. It misses out on stuff.
