im just curious who else thinks its Out of control. (dont use this to bash on the site please) I Understand limiting the bumps, that is perfectly fine. Buttttt not being able to edit the first post, which effects NOTHING is WEAK. I like editing my first post to reflect sales. I Dunno I really liked this forum because it seemed it was not over modded. That’s not the case anymore ☹ ---

> You can create a FS thread but that is all. If you excessively bump your own thread which means if you exceed one bump per 2 weeks, you will be banned for 3 days, your thread will be deleted and you will lose your classified privileges for a month. **_If you need to make changes to a thread, such as selling price or to add pictures, that is allowed_**. DO NOT take advantage of this since it will bump your own thread. **_If we see any kind of excessive repeated price changing_** , etc, you will be banned for 3 days, your thread will be deleted and you will lose your classified priviledges for one month > Now I’m sure it is up to Mod interpretation, but I’d imagine excessive price changes being akin to going from $100 to $99.95, to $99, etc. :gotme: ---

Yes, it seems like a cumbersome model, but an effective one. i’m a member of a few places where the structure is similar… and sales still happen. :tif: ---

where does it say no more editing? :shrug: I’ve found that after some time (weeks or maybe months) you cannot edit a post, but this is universal to the board. ---

Given the number of tards that felt entitled to give their opinion shitting on someone’s sale, I think this system is just fine. You don’t get to edit a classified ad in the paper do you? You don’t call someone on autotrader to tell them that their price is too high do you? The system makes sense to me. ---

Yeah but it’s not a week to week classified, where it dosent rerun. I Could probably List everything one piece at a time in seperate ads. But i dont, to save clutter on the forum, i make big posts with Alot of stuff. Its aggervating to get pm’s 2 months after smething is sold. Meh Forget it, I Knew it wasn’t long before this forum turned into every other forum on the net. Some things are too good to be true. ---

Call me reasonable, but editing a thread to reflect a sale isn’t excessive updating. :shrug: Just don’t sell stuff on here if you can’t handle it or you’ll be bumping a thread everyday? Sure there’s a classifieds section, but this is still a message board not craigslist. ---

Obviously if you need to change your asking price you can. Just don’t do it 5 times a day. I don’t really use the classifieds so what you guys do is up to you. ---

Too much hassle to buy something on here now for us lazy/busy folks… I’ll stick to ebay now. Replying to FS threads is a good thing considering people can offer points/advice/insight on the seller or object being sold… new rules ftl. ---

i like the idea … there are some ads where the first 20 posts are the seller bumping .old school ubrf i rember if there was to many bumps it would get locked or just taken off…i know i have done it …also its good b/c you dont get the asshats in there saying your shit sux and i dont like it … now there is no one that will eff. your sale but yourself :gotme: agian i like the new system and it should have been done a long time ago… and for a new guy it will be easy for you to get used to the new adjustment ---
