Marketplace Section

[llbbl]

Give me a reason not to remove this section from our forums.

I don't find it useful and we are attracting alot of freeipod a-holes by having such a section. That and we get people who sign up and post something that we would consider SPAM if it showed up in our Inbox.

It amounts to: "Go visit my site if want to buy some crap"

Well gee thanks bud if we want to visit your site we will be and sure to do that. I'm gonna start flaming (cause it's fun) these threads until we make a decision on the jerks we seem to be attracting.

Expect to see a change regarding this section.

I was hoping it would be for members wanting to sell their own stuff, I am discouraged by how its being used too. Any ideas other than deleting it alltogether?

[ECA]

Can we limit it to mambers??
Can we use a verification system for NEW members??
email them there FIRST password..

[llbbl]

It is already limited to members. We can limit it to administrators and moderators and have them all send an email to marketplace@designtechnica.com if they want to have something listed in the section.

Or we could just get rid of it.

I'm fine with getting rid of it. It's used rarely. And to be honest, I wouldnt buy anything from it since I dont trust people enough. :)

[Ioman]

Alright, delete it! I am down. I think its a waste too.

[llbbl]

woohoo deletion incoming ... btw .. i'm just removing it from being listed we will still have the threads in the database if we want to go through and move some of the useful ones to some other section.

Hey we could make it so any new threads would have to be approved by a moderator. I saw that option in the control panel when I was changing the settings.
