Lock all Posts in the For Sale Section?
TurboTrev:
Personally, I'm getting pretty irritated by people posting worthless comments/personal opinions on the "for sale" threads. Despite Top Cat's posting on the white R32 thread, Golfgirl's perfectly reasonable tyre post is possibly in danger of going the same way.
On another forum I go on, the "for sale" area is locked and no-one is able to post comments. I know an individual can lock their own "for sale" thread on this board, but such threads disappear down the page pretty quickly because of people posting discussion on the unlocked threads. So what do people think about all "for sale" posts being locked automatically, thereby preventing any discussion?
Am I the only one irritated, or am I just being a grumpy old man. :signLOL:

It is a rule not to post in a thread.
If they locked threads how would you bump your thread above the completed sales?
Its an annoyance on most forums i visit but its upto the OP or a MOD to prevent off topic discussion.

The OP has no control over people replying! Only a mod can delete replies, not the OP.

Where does it say that? I can't see it in the For sale section rules. And if it is a rule then it needs to be monitored a bit more closely than it is now.

Thanks for your support :happy2:. I probably won't bother offering anything in future and will just take it straight to the tip then laugh at the people who post up at a later date asking for whatever I'd thrown out. :happy2: I shouldn't have to justify why I'm offering something. If someone wants it, they can have it. If they don't then they can just move on to the next for sale ad :smiley:

yes but the OP can create a thread to discuss the sale in the random chat area, or lock their own thread, or tell people not to reply or they will just lock their thread.
The thread rarely becomes so out of control a MOD should get involved
Golfgirl:
I don't agree with the second thread idea TBH. It will make the forum cluttered and two threads on the same thing is unnecessary IMO.
As for the OP locking the thread, well that's no different to it being locked automatically?! :confused:
