[RBW] Re: OLD FS Posts

[lum gim fong]

I cant delete the entire post/thread if someone has posted response publicly. 
Only my posts in the thread. But not the whole thread/post.

Would be great to be able to remove my whole post after sale.

I presently have two pearl stems for sale, a nitto  decaleur and a Synergy rear 
wheelset for sale.

I generally update a post with what has sold and what is available as well 
as any price drops. The last big purge I did once everything sold I deleted 
the post so I wouldn't receive inquiries and to unclog the list.

It's a good practice.

[RBW] Re: OLD FS Posts

[Bill Lindsay]

I imagine our email-only users have it even worse.  Typically our email 
users make a FS post, and then when the item sells, they don't reply to 
their own post.  Typically they just email a new post that says "Item X is 
sold, thanks" in the subject line which starts a new, separate thread for 
all the rest of us who view the list as a webpage.  I imagine those folks 
get a lot of emails saying "is Item X still available?" because there's no 
way to know that it's sold when you search the history.

[RBW] Re: OLD FS Posts

[Philip Williamson]

I like when the old FS posts are left up (with a final SOLD post), for two 
reasons. Three reasons. 
1. It helps people price their own hard-to-price for sale items.
2. Seeing the "This message has been deleted" on a grayed-out post 
distresses me. It usually means someone was WAY out of hand, but sometimes 
people seem to just delete their posts for no reason. Bugs my OCD. 
3. Many FS posts spin out into very interesting comparisons and deep 
knowledge of very esoteric parts or Rivendell history. 

My three cents,
Philip

It's probably been a while since I posted an explicit reminder to the group, 
but when replying to FS/FT/WTB/WTT/etc. posts, you should contact the poster 
directly. That prevents accidental sharing of personal information to the group 
at large.  This is a publicly searchable/viewable group, so if someone posts a 
phone number, address and says something like "but we're going to be out of 
town for the next two days", there are bad people who might take advantage of 
that.  I know you wouldn't do that, but I'd hate to tell you how many moderated 
posts contain information which I'd regard as too personal for public 
consumption.

If you contact the poster directly, that also spares everyone else the process 
of having to ignore that thread.  Some folks still do track this group through 
email.

[RBW] Re: OLD FS Posts

[drew]

Most items around here get sold in a matter of days, so if it's 6 months old 
and the author isnt bumping it, then it's gone... or on eBay.  Also, yes, you 
would need to pm the author in order to ensure they actually see your message.

Joe, 
You can set your phone to be on the desktop version with the little button at 
the bottom of the page. Somewhat of a hassle, but I use it any time I need to 
pm.

The problem with private messages is you have to use the desktop version of 
this site to find "reply privately to author", while most of us are on phones 
now. I always add a "text me" number to my FS posts to get around this.

Hi Joseph - 

I am the moderator - there's only one.  If you ever have a question about 
non-RBW things, feel free to contact me using the "Contact Moderator" 
button.

It's probably been a while since I posted an explicit reminder to the 
group, but when replying to FS/FT/WTB/WTT/etc. posts, you should contact 
the poster directly. That prevents accidental sharing of personal 
information to the group at large.  This is a publicly searchable/viewable 
group, so if someone posts a phone number, address and says something like 
"but we're going to be out of town for the next two days", there are bad 
people who might take advantage of that.  I know you wouldn't do that, but 
I'd hate to tell you how many moderated posts contain information which I'd 
regard as too personal for public consumption.

If you contact the poster directly, that also spares everyone else the 
process of having to ignore that thread.  Some folks still do track this 
group through email.
