WTS posts got closed

[Quiet]

Same thing happened to me. I marked my thread SPF, because I was not aware of these recent changes to how the policy works.

In the past, and in my mind, SPF (sold pending funds) means, "It might be sold so don't PM me with offers until I know." And then if it is sold I mark it as sold. Otherwise I will mark it "Still For Sale".

So now that we cannot do this, how do I do the equivalent? I like to be 100% clear in all my communication. This policy of locking SPF threads muddies the waters.

It also bugs me that I can't go and mark my thread as SOLD. Now it will be locked and not marked as sold for perpetuity.

The change to treat "SPF" type updates the same as "sold" type updates was due to forum members utilizing it as a means to auction off the item they marked "SPF.

Understood. Seems like there's a lot of bad actors in the for sale forums these days. It's still a net positive though compared to the rest of the internet. Thanks.

Appears the OP's posts were inactive for more than 4 weeks before they were closed.

[alpinabvahag]

but the post was closed the day after I posted it, not 72 hours after or whatever it said, hence the reason why i reposted it, and again after a day it was closed again.

Older For-sale threads locked...why?

I tried to bump my for-sale ad in "Private Firearms Parts and Accessories", and couldnt do so because it was closed.

Then I noticed a that all for-sale ads in that section, with last post dated Apr 9 and ealier, were all locked...Why?

[tabascoz28]

Right? There's also another rule that you can't post separate posts for multiple items, I usually don't even click on multi item posts as it's always a mess.

April 9 might be when they switched servers permanently.

You can report your locked post and ask that it be unlocked. I did, it worked.

They may have locked them to keep randos from bumping them with the perennial "still available?" post.

[MajorSideburns]

I found the same issue and did what Skyhawk mentioned to get it unlocked. I have a listing in the ammo sales section which is a very slow moving section. A single bump post keeps the thread in the first page for weeks. When I went to bump it last I noticed I could not because it had been locked. Maybe the administrators got fed up with people responding to decades old threads.

[benjamin101677]

think is was the switch over, just ask one of the moderators in black at the bottom of pages and someone will either unlock it or advise why it won't be.

Yeah, I noticed my sale thread locked too. Granted it's been up for some time, but I've been bumping regularly. Oh well.
Ive reached a mod before and got it unlocked.

WTS posts got closed

I pinged the Admins about this via private message. Was hoping to get some clarity on why my WTS posts got closed out. TIA!

[Garv]

If they were several days old with no activity, they can get closed.

Does not always happen if mods. are busy.

Bump every other day or so to keep them active.

[bababoris]

Ok thanks. I will repost them.
