yeah... that guy is just trying to fish customers to his workshop... Each time I view new posts, I always see his threads. Now that's annoying.

Alexchin, explain yourself here!

Got a lot of seller like this.
Cola, tctho, airline, howiechoo, myauction66.

Admin should give a limit.

guys, we are in the process of making changes.

note that changes will take time and we hope that you guys will be patient on this.

thank you for the report.

thankz for reply.. nah, juz fed up with these people.. they are advertising their own shop stuff edi instead of few years back garage where people selling all their used stuff or new.. definitely not like what some forumer did as stated

I've just merged his threads according to car make - total of 4 threads now.

Its a temporary measure while we think something permanent up

limiting the number of topic for each forumers in each sub-forum ?

Not each subforum but in Garage Sales.

yup! i tink only in garage sales is gud enuf...if each sub-forum, very hard on us...

I believe he meant each subforum under the Trade Zone
No point having it on other sections of course

What about timers? Just like how users must wait for a specific amount of time before posting his/her 2nd post.

I suggest for BUMPs in Garage Sales we implement a 60 secs rule. That way:
- the seller/buyer will need to prioritize his/her thread (for BUMPs) and at the same time,
- it'll help control them creating multiple threads (might as well cramp relevant things inside one single thread instead of creating multiple unnecessary threads cuz they can only BUMP one thread per minute).

Pardon my broken English.

I think this seller can open only 1 thread... just name it as "All kind of bodykit" or something like that...

But in the end, its still remain the same. Single seller with multiple threads.

I don't think so because judging by the high activity in Garage Sales section, it gives other people a chance to BUMP within the 1 minute break.

As you can see, alexchin BUMP-ed 10 threads in less than 2 minutes. If the 1-minute break rule is enforced, it'll get him AT LEAST 10-11 minutes to BUMP 10 threads. And judging by the activity in Garage Sales section, it can do good for other sellers with one/two threads only.

Perhaps the outcome will be like this:

alexchin
aaa
bbb
ccc
alexchin
ddd
eee
fff
ggg
hhh
iii
alexchin
jjj

Hence, a wise way for alexchin to get them all up is to merge relevant products into as less threads as possible.

Hmm, might work, might not work. Just a suggestion. Comments, please?

i still prefer merge into few threads... at least the thread based on brand such as Proton Body Kit, Perodua Body Kit , Toyota Body Kit , Kia Body Kit, Honda Body Kit, etc
if Wira Body Kit, Waja Body Kit, Savvy Body Kit, Tiara Body Kit, Juara Body Kit, Gen2 Body Kit, Saga Body Kit, Perdana Body Kit, Arena Body Kit... (wei, still haven't include other car brand's models into...)

otherwise create another sub sub-forum under "Automotive Garage" named "Body Kit Garage"...

good example such as moderno thread... all the bulk order graphic card in a thread only... look informative and neat...
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/415371

this has also started with one seller in the Bulk Orders Section....

different items...but most of the items are of the same brand (Zalman / Gigabyte)...ie

1 thread for zalman hdd cooler
1 thread for zalman northbridge heatsink
1 thread for zalman gc cooler
1 thread for zalman hdd cooler
as well as a few others if i remember correctly..and got same thing happening with another brand as well.. all from that same, one seller.

and just like Garage Sales, bump everything one shot...its really an eyesore and an annoyance as in my case it makes it harder to browse there and i do that often (a few times a day).

i understand that something is being done...but i do hope its done soon

at least other bulkers like moderno or ngbh has multiple threads but for completely different items/ brands. where they group them together...ie ALL zalman 1 thread, ALL coolermaster 1 thread etc etc.




my personal opinion, if this sort of thing happens...the mods should just lock up all their threads with a note..something like "MULTIPLE THREADS FOR SIMILAR ITEMS/ BRANDS...PLS MERGE THEM INTO 1 THREAD" etc... and NOT merge the threads for them...

let them reopen a new thread and should let them do all their work themselves again just to merge their threads.

To divide the threads based on bradn, still wont solve the problem. How many brands exist in Malaysia? I'm sure u knew it well. So just make it as bodykit, ice, rims, etc.

Yes, I will deal with people who hog the Trade Zone shortly.

there is another user, PKGreat. also multiple thread in Garage Sale

Thanks ya
