Why cant people group together their fs items?

Kerz67Kerz67

okay there is a seller with 59 active individual items for sale right now listed in the past few days....13 items of underwear and every single one listed individually so my 3 posts (which have 20-30 items between them) and everyone elses, are constantly being bumped down! its so annoying as effectively thats 177 bumps allowed whereas everyone else is only allowed 3!!!

    is how a considerate user posts...shame everyone cannot be this way


    Agreed, this is getting out of hand.
    I go to the FS section just to see if there is anything of interest for me to buy but all I see is just clothes threads from the same users who have posted individual items on individual threads within 10 minutes.

    There is an argument that these listings would not be frowned upon should they have contained other items, e.g. mobile phones, gaming consoles, etc.

    There is a market for used clothing as highlighted by the interest shown to date, however I do appreciate the point that is being made and we'll continue to review this in order to try and make it a better experience for all.

    They would have been closed and the member infracted for being an obvious trader. No-one has 100s of phones for sale at a time unless they are a trader. Same goes for clothes imho (unless they have quadruplets) :-D.

    there is a difference between clothes and mobiles, parents do tend to buy a lot of clothes and if the child has a growth spurt then there can be a lot that were never used, but I do agree with a lot of the posters, if you are selling a lot of baby clothes or underwear etc list them all together not a seperate thread for every item as its not fair on other people. Its not the posters fault if theres no rule about it, so I think the mods should maybe add another rule about multiple postings for the same type of item. Thats my penny worth anyway.

    another example...virtually entire front page...loads of them over bumped as well...seems to be a common problem

    Jeez.. they are all like it!





    .


    its a common problem with a certain type of seller...

    about 5 of those threads are over bumped.......

    That is OTT!! So many items could be listed together.

    As someone who sells a lot myself, I find it much easier to group items, easy to keep track of and more intrest because people reply asking Q's or wanting an item and it actually bumps it for you in a way, I think these 'single item sellers' would possibly get more intrest in a 'grouped' items thread..... or maybe not and I am talking utter crap :w00t:

    Mods you going to do anything aboitu this? It's turned into a joke and I'm going to start going through and spamming them all, you've had long enough to deal with it and so far have just hidden away and avoided doing anything actually constructive as usual.


    dcx, I think you are a bit of a arse most of the time, especially with your vigilante made up rules. However, in this case I'm going to agree with you.

    Mods: It is clear the majority want this rule brought in. You should only be allowed one thread open at a time. Its very simple, and clearly better supported than the other rules you have brought in without even bothering to ask users.

    I will jump on this too, so bored on seeing continuous items of clothes for sale. I logged in the other day and at least 75% of the first page was 'used' clothes.

    Silly boy

    No rule has been broken as yet,so doing that is out of order

    All it will do is wind mods up and you will get a ban from FS/FT and/or your spam rights removed(quite correctly as well)..and lead to a further delay in the rule being changed..if you haven't got nothing constructive to add keep your neb out please

    I've got a sneaky feeling that there won't be any new rule change.

    At a time when folk is being promoted fairly vigourosly reducing the amount threads users can post wouldn't look good and may in the short term reduce traffic. While allowing users to post 15 threads filled with used rags looks as if there are an abundance of users eventually people are going to get fed up of sifting through thread after thread of jumble sale tat and move away from the site.

    Just take a look at the last couple of threads on the subject, more and more people are getting annoyed at this and while in the short term it may boost folks numbers by allowing unlimited threads people will stop using it preffering gumtree or av forums.

    if you can't beat them, then join them, and that is the attitude of those joining in, it started with the odd member and now most follow, if it is acceptable for some then you cant blame others for following suit

    I don't - I blame the mods for not implementing a well supported and common sense rule.

    while I wouldn't quite go that far, it is starting to resemble a cheap sunday morning jumble sale and like you I only have the odd glance in there now.

    Rather than the tabs at the top which allow you to view just that one section (in this case clothing) couldn't it be done so that when clicking on the tab it EXCLUDES everything under that heading and leave everything else available? Just a thought!

    or just remove CLOTHING from your profile under CATEGORY.

    No longer see any of this cheap tat any more but of course I dont see clothes deals anymore either. Not fussed about that as its normally pretty chav crap anyway.
