Changes to the Classified Section

[DeletedUser1]

just so the replies and comments made on a thread don't bump the thread to the top everytime. and the only bump to the top can be done by the original poster after 7 days.

All the buddys posting stupid replies still bump the ads to the top. I thought I missed the ability to post a question or something in an ad but it turns out I like the sterile classifieds better. Let's go back to no replies in a thread.

+1 snew!!! Back to the same old shenanigans again! The honest guys will b bumped to obscurity.

Just an update, we're still in the testing phase. This is not the end result

 

[iamme]

Or we look at it like other things and enforce the rules there and weed out the idiots?! I mean how hard is it to figure out to wait a week to post and bump, you don't bump an ad to close it to relist the item in now a new seperate thread. We don't friggin care that you think his gun is beautiful and if you had the opportunity would take it on a date to the nicest restaurant in town- but ya can't cuz you're broke.
Have a legit question/concern; POST UP. Want to buy the item; Post up an I'll Take It. tada. Can't figure all this out, well maybe we need an IQ test before allowing people on board....

It's pretty difficult when you get 20-30 new members per day. Fortunately, this solution looks like it's going to work well. Expect a final roll out within 48 hours

Idiots have cash too. We need them to buy memberships and our stuff in the classifieds.

Awesome joe!! Hope it works out

 

[Dallas Ken]

Whoops.............. I tried a reply and bumped the guys add, sorry about that Joe I thought it was fixed.

Hang in there joe you will...................... "git er dun"

Dudes be bumping thier ads after a few days like crazy.

Yeah i don't really like the great debate of "PM Sent" and "PM's replied...still available". Just send and reply no need to indicate that you're messaging each other.

I would argue that "PM sent" conveys to viewers that a nibble/negotiation is in progress, and can benefit both the new potential buyer (by prompting him to also contact the seller), and the seller himself (by lighting a fire toward increased interest/competition from buyers).

I am all for a mechanism that can prevent bumps by anyone other than the seller, but still allows for informative public exchange about guns (for sale or otherwise).

PM sents- meh a waste but whatever. PM replied- should not be done. there's a system in place for this- in case people didn't know there's an awesome thing called EDIT. You can edit your add to update info that you may have forgotten or to reply to questions. You can edit your add to update pics. There is no need to post a new reply and bump the add. Oh you say you have to update to let people know it's still available??? hey guess what again- once it's sold you CLOSE THE AD. Tada all problems solved by using a little common sense and taking some time to do things right....

Got to agree with Spitpatch on this one.....let's everyone that is interested know that there is action on the add.

Have to say I don't need 20 "wow that's a nice gun. Wish I had the money" replies to know if there is "action" on the after.what does it matter? I personally have never bought a gun because of it. The replies are a waste of time and space.

 

[Dallas Ken]

Now here we have a case of you didn't read or understand what Spitpatch said. Nothing was said about responding to nonsense replies that we all can see. What he said was, there was a private message sent and noted in a public reply. Thus we all know someone has an interest of some sorts. I like to see it.

And......"have a good day" Gent's

 

[Joe Link]

Alright everyone, the new software is live and enabled for all classified sections.

Let me know what you think!

 

[Dallas Ken]

Ahhhh, you can bet on that Joe.

 

[snew]

What are we looking for it to do?

BTW, PM sent, it never did anything but bump the ad. No value added at all.

....perhaps for you (and that is a point of view I can understand and respect). For others, It very well might be of some significant value.
