Unofficial vote on classifieds

[]2eDeYe]

I use the classifieds and they seem to work just like any other classifieds.

If I want to sell something, I make an ad and people buy my stuff.

If I want something, I post and ad and get the stuff I wanted.

 

If I feel like I want to window shop I browse them, there is some good shit in there.

 

...and I don't get any of the cl types and I don't have a bunch of people chiming in on my ads that aren't buying or selling anything. Works great for me :)

Man you must know the secret handshake or something,  I got mildly chided for just asking how the change might have affected traffic to the site  :blush:

 

But here you go.... not that it will change anything but here's my pos/neg list.

 

New classified positives:

-Easy upload and management of pics - a huge positive in my book

-No stagnant ads / necroposts

-No price bashing  - another pet peave

-No bumping of ads i.e. people bumping too frequently (also a negative if your ad gets stale and on page 26 - some people may not realize they want your part until they see it and therefore don't search for it in the first place - i.e. no impulse sales activity, but then again I guess one can always place the ad again after 30 days)

 

New classified negatives:

-If you don't fill out the form right, or there's any missing info, go back to square one and try again, you fail !  Hope you copied your writeup to the clipboard.

-No historical references /  no helpful hints about what you are buying or selling

-No banter, thus no idea what's getting 'play' or if anyone is remotely interested in your part, even if it's a 'glwts' or 'wish you were closer' (yes there's a view count, but were those views all someone turning up their noses ?)

-Proliferation of other topic areas in order to address previous 2 negatives, thus re-creating some of the same problems (but in their defense, those were consolations made by the admins to appease the bitching masses - me included)

Sorry Ben but things were still raw from all the bitching at the time. (and now from trolling to stir up shit) This is a dead issue and bringing it up is just sour grapes. So similar posts will be stopped. If you have something to contribute, fine bring it on. Bitching is not contributing. Bitching to agitate others is worse it's disruptive. It's been said before that this is not a democracy and that we are guests here. I would love to have things roll along peacefully but if I have to I will step in
