Full Version: Neobay Suggestion

Frank
I have seen quite a few people complaining about other people "thread crapping" on their neobay threads. Although I would like neowinians to look out for other neowinians when they could get the item brand new for the same price, I don't think this is the way it is supposed to be in Neobay.

So I have a suggestion. Why not make the Neobay posts non reply-able except for the original seller? If someone would like to purchase the item they can PM the seller. Maybe even allow the seller to bump once every 5 days. I think this may clean up some of the clutter that has been showing up recently.

Just my 2 cents.

I guess in that case we'll need to up the amount of PM's each member can store or receive.

@frank: good idea.
you can store 100 messages, no need to increase that space imo.

I have another suggestion...

I have been going through the threads in Neobay, like this one, for example. I've noticed that it says that the "Title edited" by MapleCookie, yet, it doesn't include location, which I thought was kinda mandatory.

I keep seeing this, going into threads looking for something that I might pick up, and run into the problem that this is in the UK, and I'm in the US, or something similar.

Here are a few more examples of what I am talking about:

http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=262754
http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=261306

I just think it'd make it that much easier to find what everyone is looking for if it really was mandatory. And, since the mods are editing the title anyway... whistle.gif tongue.gif

I kind of agree with what Frank said, neowin needs to better administer the neobay forum and also add and change rules, I think thread bumping is ok till a certain point and therefore should be allowed.. I've lost interest in Neobay b/c no one seems to view it all the time and then sometimes there are the people who act like tattle tellers and get on your case because you are "thread-bumping" which annoys the hell outta me
