To possibly help "clean up" the board...if you can't have a "setting" in place to auto delete posts in the "For Sale" or "Wanted To Buy" after however long, what about a Moderator going through those posts and deleting them after a pre-determined length of time?
I mean...come on, many times folks forget they either don't have such and such for sale any longer due to;
1. Having sold it
2. Having LOST it
3. Had a change of heart and reinSTALLED it
That way everyone who might frequent the board, (be it for the 1st time or those who LIVE on the board), wouldn't have to wade through all the posts in search of whatever it is they're searching for.
Just like at a retail store...if it aint SOLD in such and such time, you might choose to re-merchandise your store, right? I mean...you don't want folks comin' in to your store and having it look stale...the "same 'ole" all the time right?
I'm sure many have been in to an old bait-n-tackle type store where you see an 1/8" of dust on top of the product and no product has moved off the shelves for YEARS right?
Ok...same here~~~
To keep the board lookin' [glow=red,2,300]FRESH & INVITING[/glow], items for sale should have a 2 week shelf life...if it's not sold in 2 weeks, then the Moderator reMOVES the post/listing, and the member is then forced to post again!
He/she can do whatever with the post...leave it the same, lower the price or even RAISE it! Add a diff colored font, etc... Hey...obviously the right person hasn't come across it and found the diamond in the ruff.
Well...tired of ramblin' about this...I could go on and on, but I'll leave the thought(s) with the Moderators and the Owner to make the above a serious consideration moving forward into the future!
Regards
