Asking a question is fine, posting replies to questions is fine, asking for details in a pm is fine, telling someone UGPM is not. Why? It's useless and unecessary. If the guy get's a pm the forum informs him of it.
ok, so it's clear now. whenever someone asks "can you send me PM/ details", the seller is not allowed to reply any of them like "tq, PM sent". if 20 ppl do the same in that thread, the seller is still not allowed to. with this rule in force, i feel it's just better to lock up the thread after each sales post by the seller since seller has no power to stop buyers from posting the above questions. after all, all sales can be done thru PM later. and it definitely looks better in the forum instead of having threads that have 20 posts from buyers but no acknowledgement from seller.
Look at it this way, if you were selling something and your thread was permanently stuck in the 10th page because people spam ugpm or some other unecessary post like Happy new year, happy wednesday or w/e everytime he wants to, would you be happy? No.
if buyers are interested, they WILL post in the thread anyway. if no one is interested, so be it and the thread be left at page 10. the seller can still use the bump function per day. only sore losers that see some other sellers that are doing better and their threads more active will go complain.
also the search button is there, so being left in page 10 is fine too. the sales thread are so long nowadays that it take up more than 3-5 pages for one day alone. so that does not make a difference in whether being stuck at the back or not.
Also, if you see something you think is in violation of the rules, report it. I find it strange that people keep saying they see such and such is breaking the rules but fail to report it.
this i have to disagree strongly with you. this statement has been used over and over again by the mods, but it's just an assumption with no facts to backup. ppl that kept saying this are the ones that reported. i myself for one use the report button often. but it's just so rampant and widespread that we users are not in the capacity to report all those. after all, we're just like the mods. we have a life out there.
there u are. u answered your own question. if that buyers are interested, they will still post in your thread "can you send me PM/ details" regardless of the thread attended or not ok, so it's clear now. whenever someone asks "can you send me PM/ details", the seller is not allowed to reply any of them like "tq, PM sent". if 20 ppl do the same in that thread, the seller is still not allowed to. with this rule in force, i feel it's just better to lock up the thread after each sales post by the seller since seller has no power to stop buyers from posting the above questions. after all, all sales can be done thru PM later. and it definitely looks better in the forum instead of having threads that have 20 posts from buyers but no acknowledgement from seller.

so be it unattended or at the 10th page or even a closed thread.This post has been edited by scotty: May 7 2008, 12:53 AM
