Is Anyone Actually Moderating This Section?

Well?

Too many repostings and too much splitting up into individual ads that could come under the one ad.

This pushes those sellers who are sticking to the rules down the page at a much faster rate and once you're on P2 the chances of selling seem to diminish rapidly.

Don't think so

We're told to stick to a system where we put up one list of records, not separate ones for every item we have. We all stick to it yet one or two people recently have been posting up 6, 7 posts a day with separate items on. This keeps them at the top of the list and knocks everyone else down. Me, one sales post with 60 items on it. I topped the list for 2 minutes. What if I was to post 60 separate ones and keep knocking everyone else's posts down the list?

You mean Randy he's in the wrong section anyway with ebay shop,bloomin' cheek

[Bigsoulman]

Have noticed lately repeated sales posts coming through my email, get's a bit annoying at times

[Mike]

moderating for sales forums are at the moment currently being covered by all mods

however do need to be aware if there are any concerns

the report post feature is the best way of doing this

it has been improved since the upgrade

members wont see it

but it now flags up on every page to all mods if there are any new "reported posts"

after the changes do need to push it out that this is the best method if any concerns

which will do soon

on this issue, will look at it now, will post once done so

thanks for passing on

Same here. Getting a bit sick and tired of seeing the same overpriced and/or crap tunes being offered over and over again.

I posted a double once,because it was that slow to edit i pressed it again and got 2 off them

[Windlesoul]

I double posted the other day too by accident, because it was slow to upload. I asked Mike to take the second one off as soon as I knew.

Thats just a mistake Mark (and Keith), not whats being talked about here.

Accidents are accidents ,i don't think this is what Pete and other's are referring to.

As already been said ,people abusing the rules by posting single item's on same day ,that should be in same post.

I think it was established when we had the blatant bumping of sales ,that we would try to work at improving the system so it was fair all round.

As usual though some people disregard the rules and spoil things .

I honestly thought the exception to the rule was ,if you have a biggie that is gonna generate a lot of interest and is maybe up for bids ,then list it seperatley,otherwise put a list up.

If you wanna make em stand out ,use bold/higher case ...spaces between records etc etc....

Hey up ..do i sound like a mod or wot

[Mal C]

Pete's right, its been silly for a while, I buy an awful lot off / through this site, and I've noticed allot of new sellers also doing this, I'm assuming they are oblivious to the rules??

Mods, over to you..

[Dave Rimmer]

Pete's right, if you read SS like I do all there ever seems to be in New Content are sales posts. Is there a way of filtering which sections appear in New Content. That way I can take sales out, and when I've got some money can go directly to the sales section. I know it can be done because the Freebasing area has sections that don't appear, but is it a Mod only function or can anyone do it ?

Me too, the site just waited and hung for over a minute and then two posts appeared. Also the attatchment wasn't loading correctly, this again led to posts not adding to the site correctly.

In the same way as you can enable / disable signature by checking a box.

Wonder if it's possible to have a Small Indication (Enable/Disable) within a members signature to flag up something in sales or want's.

(Linked to either section by clicking on an Icon or something)

A bit like if you click on Within My Signature it takes you there.

That way every post would advertise such anywhere on the forum.

Could even be a couple of flags under Avatar.

Member currently has something in SALES or WANTS (Possibly Indicating Date Enabled).

Just an Idea Mike, not sure if possible.

Simple way to remedy this is just to allow one listing per day (Within a 24 hr period) then you would be forced to list either just a few tasty bits or a large list your choice. Problem solved, should be easy to implement.

[Sheldonsoul]

its really annoying when i can spend up to an hour listing records then within an hour or so there half way down the page nearly out of sight proper pees me off

Thats exactly what I said a couple of posts back but I would make it 48 hours

i'd make it once a week

[Guest]

i'd make it once a week

i agree totally... 48 hours before you can list again ? best of it sellers are puttin on mostly crap, ok some good stuff as well but not much and what there is will be at stupid top dollar prices where 90% of sellers are not even getting replies take a look a t b

[Mike]

some good suggestions

though sites not really in a place where can action them at current moment

some thoughts

dave

yep it be ideal if each member could choose preferences over what shows in the "new content"

but thats not available at current moment

however if amount of sales posts showing is a concern then can have a look at dropping such

limiting posts to one a day ?

dont wanna do this or similar via a "enforced" coding thing

as it cuts down flexability and also would effect upgrading

ideally every member would read the guidelines for this section and do as they say

which seems to be the stumbling block for new members

anyway , as said can't really do a lot now

so will re-visit this matter in the week

will just highlight the "report post" feature

if feel someone is taking the p*ss just hit that button and let us know
