damn peope update your ads when you get what you want!

Congratulations....nice job! So why the heck have you been arguing with everyone then???

Because the rule is to CLOSE your ad, not DELETE your ad. And the rule is to post in the appropriate sections.

Wow, talk about short temper. Some people get worked up over nothing, just jump at the opportunity to call someone an idiot instead of being helpful. This thread appears to be in the off topic section.

I agree, I was told to use the close thread tool once and have used it since. Pretty simple to do.

Best of luck!

Need a thread close timout.. like say 4 months of no activity... auto close.

That would end the hissyfit that's going on here.

iamme,itmost certainly is required. here is the rule.

•8. Once your item is sold, traded, or you have found what you are looking to purchase, you are required to close the thread to let everyone know it's no longer active.


just above Hangun Classifieds is a link to the rules for posting.fyi

Served.

It's also a matter of respecting the community.

ETA - Just read the rest of the thread.

I am disappointed.

I don't mean to offend anyone, but I have to agree. There is a pretty big difference between the two. I believe only mods are allowed to delete threads.

I close all my ads as promptly as possible once something is sold or traded, but oddly enough I sometimes continue to get PM's about things for several days after the thread is locked and whatever I'm selling is marked as no longer available.

 

[accessbob]

I close my ads as soon as I can after the item has sold. I also change the subject to include

***SOLD***

So nobody has to look further.

Amen, brother. Sellers need to close ads promptly, but Buyers need to figure out that a closed ad means the item is no longer available.

You know, you'd think it would..........

I imagine what you are describing is potential buyers not paying attention. Not your fault by any means, you've done what you are supposed to, but there are plenty of folks who don't pay attention to the padlock and/or "Sold" notice....
