Hey Giles/ Doug/ Beats/ Shoque, should we be deleting FS Threads in Buying & Selling once the item(s) have sold? Thinking yes…
I actually like looking at some of the previously sold items for reference. Perhaps locking the thread is a better idea so it will be forced to the bottom of the page.
Regarding the WAYWT pictures only page: I'm not sure if the software exists, but what would be ideal is that all pictures inserted into the WAYWT thread automatically get copied over into the pictures-only thread. In addition, this thread could be locked to prevent direct posting of comments.

I don't think this is a good idea. As DrPat said, it's nice to look at pics or measurements of previously sold items. Locking the thread is a good idea though, I will discuss it with Giles and the other mods today.

I agree…sale threads need to stay for a lot of reasons...
Regarding waywt and waywt only pictures..I find it annoying that I have to crosspost or decide where do i want to post my outfit today. in other words - I´d rather people chat about a fit and if posts become derailed mods will clean it up ever once in a whileWe can do anything

Lando. 3 of the non pic posts on the last page of WAYWT are from you. How do you want us to mod? just delete all non pic posts?…G
G, I only comment in that thread because that is what you are "supposed to do" and whether or not I comment, others will. I do not want people comments deleted from there, I just would like "A" thread for pictures only…

This would be a cool idea if Shoque could figure it out.
If this topic is just too much for everyone to deal with, I will let it go. It does seem to work on Other forums very well. Just thought it would be nice for this forum as well. The forum is only getting bigger and being more organized and appealing to a variety of posters can only help. Just my thoughts guys. Not the end of the forum world.

That's an interesting thought, but almost impossible to implement. What if somebody posts a pic for fun (e.g. facepalm) cause the fit of a guy sucks? How should the the software decide whether to copy this pic to the pictures-only thread or not? So the pictures-only wouldn't be useful a tiny bit.

Good point. If I were designing the software, I would rely on a tag to determine which images get copied. For example, those included with the standard don't get copied but those with something like [IMGC] (C for copy) do. If inappropriate images are included then they could be could be erased by the mods (similar to porno).

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!

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…

I completely agree with the feedback! Great idea.

I think it is time we look into starting separate "Want To Buy" (WTB) and "For Sale" (FS) forums/ areas in Buying and Selling…

so….Giles, and mods
on the "buying and selling" postings , i like having all the sold items always listed because;
1. provides historical pricing and pics, great research
2. shows a vibrant secondary market
so in light of that, how about when an item is sold or a listing is finished , have the original postee go back and modify the listing title to include " (SOLD) " at the end of the listing. mods can check up on postings to easily maintain the buy/see forum easily as well.
just thinking aloud.

edited because i cannot type worth a shit

this is way to time consuming..
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…
