Time off in the WTS section

asysin2leads · 5th of March 2009 (Thu)

I was looking through several posts for a few items in the WTS section. There are a lot of threads that have all items sold and they're still not locked. How about a little time off for the offending parties for not locking threads in a timely fashion? I'm not talking about within minutes, but several days maybe. Just ranting here.

I've been noticing this quite a bit lately. It's very frustrating to find 12 unlocked threads for a particular piece of gear, only to find that they've all been sold.

If you see recent unclosed sale ads for items that have been sold, then feel free to use the report post button

to request that they be closed by the moderation team.

It might not save you time, but it will help people who follow you...

Fair enough. I thought of this, but didn't want to be seen as a pest if it wasn't something the mods were overly concerned about. =)

Thanks as always, Pete.

Let us be the judge of that Brian!

But I think it is safe to assume that spammers are way more of a pest than a few Marketplace reports.

No kidding. The Mods handle spam like champs. There were a couple of times that I clicked the little red icon literally 1 minute after the initial post and got a Admin Duck report. The mods do a fantastic job here and their's is a thankless task.
