Question about protocol when removing an AD from a discussion forum.

[stilly]

This is aimed at Mods or anyone who knows the process.

When you remove a WTS/WTB/WTT AD from a discussion forum, like, say move it from reloading into the marketplace, does the OP get notified of their error and warned or something?

Thanks.

Depends.

When I do it, I send a PM.

But I delete them, not move them.

Ads started in the For Sale sections are set up with a template, with 'reminders' of the required info; posts started in other forums don't get the template, and frequently are missing some or many of the elements.

Oh okay. That is nice to know that you at least PM them. Because I have reported many an ad in the discussion forum, and I would THINK that they would be notified when they post in the wrong locations, but I don't wanna assume anything. Recently people have posted more ads in the reloading forum and Whomever it is, is usually on the ball and quick to move the ads, but I am left wondering if they just got moved or if they were warned as well. I do not plan on being on the receiving end of an ad move so I thought I would ask just to be safe.

Thanks Librarian.

I move a lot of them from the reloading section also. I move them, clean up your infomercial/fun fact stuff, then send the OP a heads up about posting there.

YOU! Hehe. Did Kestryll hold like a big meeting or something and ask for folks to respond faster or make things a priority when it comes to reported posts?

I mean, I do not want to call it a coincidence that things seem to have gotten much faster in getting taken care of like, RIGHT after the new year. I would like to think that there was a Super G10 summit held at Groepsaccommadatie in Amsterdam and all of the Calguns.net mods were flown in on someone's G5 and after 3 days of discussing things came to some conclusions, made some changes and then headed down to the The Wauw Shop and had a smoke or two...

The MOD's are faster because their is not much going on here on CG.

Only 1300 members logged on as i post this.

In the past I have seen 5 or 6 times that number

And in the past I have seen longer wait times before anyone did anything to a freaking ad in our beloved discussion forum...
