Re: Upcoming Classifieds Process and Rules Changes
Can't we just ban the crybabies who get all sensitive over seeing something bumped too many times, or who whine that nobody is lowering their prices?
I'm really not sure what the big issue is all of a sudden.I called to check my ZIP CODE!....DY-NO-MITE!!!

Re: Upcoming Classifieds Process and Rules Changes
I think we should ban posts without suitably placed paragraph markers (:
I also think an item that is more than 3 years old should be required to be posted in an "OLD CRAP" sub-forum, unless it is a firearm, firearm related, or a tool. (:
I just wanted to add that while it is true that some users post the same TOTAL JUNK over and over again, without lowering prices, in some cases, FOR YEARS, I don't really have any actionable complaints about the classifieds. I think all involved are doing a good job.
But seriously. Paragraphs people, paragraphs!
Update: You know what WOULD be useful? Is if you could FILTER the classifieds, to either exclude certain users (because you know you're not going to buy ANY of the old crap that they post), or by date range. But again, that's getting into more of a sales-oriented system than a discussion system. I think. I guess. I dunno. I'm just happy I finally cleaned up my office. As a result, I have two free office-style Swingline staplers if someone in the Pittsburgh area wants them (:

Re: Upcoming Classifieds Process and Rules Changes
A ton of work but ultimately the best solution.
I don't see why we can't just ban the junk posters. We'd still have the morons posting used guns for over MSRP, but it would help a lot. The junk posters don't even contribute to the forum in general. This is just a free listing site to them.F*#K THE ATF

Re: Upcoming Classifieds Process and Rules Changes
So this is my question: I had 2 ads last month. One traded, the other sold. Both are marked closed as they were supposed to have been.
If I want to sell another item, do I need to revive one of them, or start a new once since they were prior to the change and are now closed? If I have to revive one, the last created or the one with the last *bump*?

Re: Upcoming Classifieds Process and Rules Changes
It would seem the moderators had all of the input s to how to clean up the classifieds...maybe the discussion should have included those who use it too.
Have you looked at some other gun forums and how they manage their classified/market place? AK FILES has a great system...easy to use and all inclusive. The format is newer and the overall site is a good upgrade to what it once was.
If you are going to clean up the classifieds, maybe the search engine/function should be upgraded too...its absolutely awful...slow and pulls info that is years old.
Now that GB is charging sales tax to buyers, you are going to see an influx of members selling their goods locally. For those vendors who are prolific in their ads...maybe you should charge them a fee to list their goods and also have them register as a vendor...and their posts are marked as such.
So many good ideas out there, which could be used to make the classifieds here better...but you need to engage those who use them in the changes you want to institute.
Thanks for your consideration.

Re: Upcoming Classifieds Process and Rules Changes
I vote pictures must be included in the add or delete the post! If a poster can't figure out how to take a picture of their item and upload it, they shouldn't be permitted to post!
