I like the idea too ..... not only this can help in solving a bit of "mess" that actually is in the trade sections, but also give to the members a better idea about who sell continuously and who sell occasionally ..... and no, i don't mean about older or more repped users, i mean, so any user can know immediately if a sale thread is an occasional offer, without (or with very few) possibility to find it or another similar from the same seller in future, or if is a continued, or at least regular, business, that you can probably regularly find also in future, when you need it again.
The only question may be how regulate the new section, for avoid that occasional sales threads goes there (not necessarily intentionally or with bad intent, with 8000 and more users, errors can happens
) ..... free posting, with c0ld occasional (or on-report) supervision, or post-on-request, sending a PM to him ?
We have also to keep in mind that admin a board alone is not an easy work, and that, probably (
), he have also an offline life, so both the solutions cannot be "immediate use" ..... imho, the first solution (free posting) is a bit more immediate, it require that if an occasional sale post is found, it become reported and then c0ld shift it in the other section, but the maximum that can happen is that for some hours you have a post in the wrong place ..... the second, post-on-demand, is probably a bit more complex, cause you have to ask c0ld each time that you want to open a new thread, then he have to authorize it, and can happen that, being in different timezones, the peoples cannot contact immediately, and so on (other than this, probably it involve more work for c0ld, cause as far as i know, the only way for not left all open posts, is to reserve this to admin, and in this way, he have to open each new thread personally
)
What do you think ?
