Forum Suggestions?

So I think that Bumping threads needs to be addressed now that it has begun happening. IMO I don't think that bumping a thread is a good thing on such a small forum unless there is a price drop. Maybe this could become a rule and then once the forum gets large enough the issue is addressed at that time???

You're referring to sales ads thread bumping I guess?

[LandoCal126 0]

Correct.

[hectic]

Its not a particularly rife practice at present. Granted, if it became so prevalent that it was swamping other thread presence then it may require a review. IMO.

So basically all I have to do is start bumping my sale threads once a day and that will be considered swamping and then it will be addressed?

I'm working on the basis that we're adults and don't want to clutter this place up with shit.  But then I do have this utopian view of life…G

Hell yeah, if everything would be that easy. Maybe there´s also a difference like the one guy having 1 thread in total and pushing this every few days or the other guy having 7 threads and pushing them every few days.

This isn't SuFu - 3 pages max and you're done. Stop bumping.

I concur with the idealist at the head of the table: No one is a douche here, ergo: reasonable and good people will use this facility accordingly.

I raise the subject again. Please read and catch the drift…

@shoque:

Locking the thread is a good idea though, I will discuss it with Giles and the other mods today.

@Beatle:

I agree…sale threads need to stay for a lot of reasons...

@LandoCal126:

Can we all agree that the Author of their particular FOR SALE Thread locks it as soon as an item is SOLD? I think Beats said something about this a while back, but I just wanted to reiterate that is is much easier to look through the Buying & Selling Area if this happens. Thanks All!

@Beatle:

yeah..I would suggest that once an item has been sold and the buyer received it (would be nice if he left a little feedback like item received, thanks) the thread gets locked…

@LandoCal126:

I completely agree with the feedback! Great idea.

@Beatle:

I would appreciate if once an item has changed hands the seller posts SOLD and the buyer posts RECEIVED - and than we just lock the thread…

@LandoCal126:

Shoque and I have been doing this. It works perfectly. If anyone has any questions about a SOLD item, they can just PM they buyer and or seller.

[LandoCal126 0]

Really?!??!! Nothing…

[stever]

i'm with you on the locking issue… something common on vsal and other cycling forums. if the item's sold, move along, nothing to see here...

Please do not re-post my photos unless you are quoting them. Thanks

A thought.  Whatcha think?

[shoque]

Just did that 10mins ago. 

[Beatle]

if you want to look at pics , just scrawl through….

[Dexter_]

Not sure if this was already suggested…

Separate the discontinued stuff in the products forum. Maybe create a sub-forum for it or something. It will be easier for people to know what's currently available.

[Beatle]

I hear you..

Extinct sub forum on IH product forum. Makes sense

[Splattered]

Speaking of exctinct items… it would be cool if that was fully fleshed out on the main sales page. I love seein the IHSH-20 there, it would be great if all previous items were there to view maybe with measurements and all that for people to cross reference if they find them second hand or whatever? I'm sure its last on the list of things to do and probably an enormous pain in the ass to undertake though haha

[Giles]

That is the plan, data gathering exercise is underway…..
