coppertone Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Hello on the other threads that I belong to whenever you sell an item. It has a link where the rate this thread link is. After you sell an item you click on item sold, and it closes the classified sale on it asap. This way our for sale area is not cluttered with things that already have been sold waiting for a mod to close it out. Effectively this allows us the seller to ensure we clean up our own mess, and allows new sellers room at the top. Please let me know what you think of this idea. 2010 2.5GT limited is for sale.

Tide Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 It's an idea or it's a mod another forum has installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWSPECB Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I actually like this idea. The only problem becomes the seller's not following another rule that has been added to the rules that they already don't follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coppertone Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 This is what they have on other forums as a mod. They use this as a way to ensure for sale listings get closed asap. It is listed under thread tools and just one simple click lists the product as sold, and then proceeds to close the ad. 2010 2.5GT limited is for sale.

Tide Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 What is the mod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted June 22, 2012 I Donated Share Posted June 22, 2012 There are several different ways to do this. I don't know what the specific mod is called that auto closes after the sale / rating is complete. You could do a mod like this one and set it for just the classified forums to close out after a week of inactivity or something. If you went this route though, a sticky up top saying to bump the thread once a week if its still for sale would be necessary though. -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

chimaira4deth Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 this is a great idea.. its very disappointing to see the item sold after like 30 bumps (5 pages) and the OP ends it off with a " MODS PLEASE CLOSE" .. Little do they know there is a 'thread toolbar' at the top that gives you the DELETE option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatsuDano Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 FS threads shouldn't be deleted. They should be moved/closed. Wiping out a thread removes records which may be important if the buyer or seller wants to take issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philnakron Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I think it would be nice if it would read "sold" on thread title in classifieds so you don't actually open the thread and have to go through all the pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
