Title: Remove closed or repealed posts in the Auction House
Post by: NatanylJames (N8MATTHEWS) on July 17, 2012, 12:47:19 am
Every time i go to the auction house nearly half are ither Repealed or Closed and, i think it would look alot cleaner and nicer if they were removed. I'm not saying imediatly since the buyer needs to see who wins but maybe after 2 days after the post was locked it should be removed. Plus the buyer should know when the item he/she is bidding on ends so he/she should have time within the two days to see if they won.

I would say between 3 days-1 week if this does end up happening. 2 days still isn't long enough to remove a post from a section such as the auction house.

I just wrote down a random number but 3 days- 1 week should be enough for someone who is SERIOUS about the item to see if they won before it got deleted. If they don't see it they might be on a vacation but, your on a vacation why would you bebidding on something in a video game...

Maybe auction, then vacation? Anyways, while this topics here, maybe child boards? Sold, repealed and the main Auction house board has all of the open auctions.

I think the forum itself can be setup (by an administrator) to clean out posts that haven't been replied to in X number of days.

I dont think a whole new board has to be opened forthis, i just think mos and ops should moderate this so it isn't so cluttered, with items no one has, or will ever bid on, or items that are sold or reapealed.

It would be a full time job for us to delete auctions that have been completed and closed, and that's not our job.

As I stated, the forum settings can normally be adjusted to automatically scan specific forum areas and remove topics that have not been posted to in X number of days.  But only the forum administrator(s) can make that adjustment.

I see what you mean by full time job. but if it can be changed to auto delete that would be great.

I agree because half the posts i go to are closed or sold. This gets old fast.  :-\
