WTS posts got closed

[Garv]

How long does it take for my WTS threads to be unlocked?
I'm guessing they were blocked because I was not bumping them enough
If i've sent a message to the mods but have not heard nothing ...thanks

I suggest starting new threads.

Bump them every one to two days.

Does anyone know the reason for the 72 hour thread closure? I would like to know... I have had WTS threads closed after a couple days... I work like most people and do not go on the computer every single day. Just tried to bump my post, closed again.... 20 days, big deal... it's getting old.
SO WHY 72 HOURS!

The restriction to the amount of ads per subforum and the requirement that the ad be active was due to members exploiting the marketplace rules to dominate the marketplace with just their ads and due to members bumping back to life ("is this still available?") ads that were 1+ years old.

Currently, it is being enforced at the "2 weeks" mark.
Typically, at the first and fifteenth of every month or when reported by other members.

So if people get their ads closed, Then repost more ads. Doesn't that dominate the marketplace with more ads? Same ads in more spaces.
Seems counterintuitive?
Curious on what cataclysmic thing happens when a 1+ year old ad is bumped?

Thank you for the marker to which I can expect a "thread closed". I get how how a couple a-holes can ruin it for many, But to make simple things a pain to do sounds more like the governments job?

Seems to be enforced sporadically tbh

Mine was closed but if you hit the red triangle and ask for it to be reopened, it usually would.

I asked once on my old threads and checked later and it was reopened.

Hitting the red triangle on the thread has the following note:

Note: This is ONLY to be used to report spam, advertising messages, and problematic (harassment, fighting, or rude) posts.

I posted a suggestion in the "Open Letter" thread, and I also tried messaging two Administrators to try to unlock my closed thread, but apparently it falls on deaf ears.

Read the 2nd sticky up top.

The one about your post being deleted or locked.

Many threads on this. As said above, read the sticky. It’s in the rules.

In short, not bumping your post frequently can lead it to be closed.
