Only thing I'm seeing now is a lot more threads without pictures.
If you have a cooling question or concern feel free to contact me.
Yah, I noticed that as well... before, we were our own "moderators" so to speak. We would help out by pointing out if rules were violated, but now its kinda up to the mods to notice which is good and bad.Only thing I'm seeing now is a lot more threads without pictures.
Oh well... it seems that the mods have made a decision on this until its reevaluated, but let's keep pushing for the rules to be put back to the way they were!

eVGA 6200 -> 6600 softmod
hmmm good point, when buyers could post there was more feedback on the threads for the sellers wich made them post all the infos in case something was missing...
the peroblem is that modding the classies was a lot of work before and this is supposed to reduce the work. whether it works or not i cant tell, i will ask the classies mods about their opinion. if it isnt really saving them a lot of work id also like to change things in the classies to the way they were before.
Lately I've been seeing some posts by mods criticizing people for bumping their threads. The rules clearly state that people are allowed to bump their threads every 6-8 hours:
"9) The Seller is allowed to bump his own thread if neccesary.
We allow the Seller to bump his own thread in a reasonable manner. Bumping every 1 hour or so is absolutely not allowed! Common practice would be once in 6-8 hours at the most."
In this thread:

Entity_Razer accuses ZX7891 of "spamming" when for the most part he leaves over 8 hours between bumps.
In this thread:

JAWS tells A Scream to stop bumping his thread even though his bumps are usually 2 days apart. He says that such posts are a "total waste of space" (I'm sure the 50KB those posts occupy is extremely precious)
Why is this a growing phenomenon? Are people no longer allowed to follow the Classified Forum rules without being badgered by mods who have nothering better to do?

well, I think most of the time it looks like spamming, because the OP is the only one that can post in their thread, so it starts to look tedious after a few posts of "Bump" and "ttt", or maybe that's just me. I saw in ZX7891's thread that he had a bunch of posts pretty close to one another, but it was clarifying things, since he couldn't edit his posts. But you are right, I'm not sure why people are saying to keep it to every few days for a bump. Maybe because the Classifieds seem less active than they were before, with only OPs being able to post.
A wolf in wolves clothing.
I don't know but...
BUMP
(Disclaimer: This was an attempt to be funny because I'm feeling giddy after ordering an X1800XT. Please don't ban me.)
I dont like it now you cant post in the classifieds.
I guess the mods need to keep a better eye on post times.
We are assessing the effect of the changing rule now. Please bear with us for a bit longer while the site owners make their decision.
I said so because the guys in question bumped it up a lot of times and as I said, give everyone a go. If someone wants to sell something , they'll check, I mean i didn't bump my WTB 36GB Raptor thread up, and I still got my desired piece so just relax and a buyer will fidn you.
10 bumps with 1 sentence TOPS is hardly what I call a justified bump
Kazoo....fwiw, as a seller and buyer, I'd prefer if other people couldn't post. Everything that needs to be done can be through PM and the seller can clarify things in later posts.
And while a bump may seem to help (heck, I do it), doing it excessively (to the point where most posts have no value add other than ttt) isn't. If it isn't selling, either lower the price or clarify a few things in your posts.
Great to hear. There wasn't much thread crapping here and I know I go in there less (seems boring). Veteran Members were even quasi-modding ("please post pics", "keep pricing to PMs"). While sometimes thats no good, I think we all know what it's like to be crapped on from OTHER forums! I bought my prommie form hearing a lot of others nudging me indirectly ("Wish I had the funds" posts). Ok, I'll shut up now.
Hej, as many of you perhaps have noticed, only mods and thread starters are now allowed to post in the FS forum.
This I have nothing against, a mod should be allowed to post if something is wrong with the auction to notify the potential buyers, and notify the seller through PM - this is a good idea as all posts in the thread should theorectically revolve around the item being sold.
However that is not so. Many threads are bumped until all eternity with no obvious interest. That is rather irratating, but bearable. What I find offensive is that mods [i]abuse[/b] their privileges and continue to post as they always did.
Seriously, WTF is all this about. If we the users are not allowed to post, why are the actions of the mods tolerated. I see the idea of mods having certain privileges, however this is in my opinion unnacceptable. If changes have been made, then everything should follow the new rules.
My thoughts.
In short, both AMD and NVIDIA discovered that their next-generation graphics cards are superior to each others' last-generation graphics cards.
Thatr for sure, I TOTALLY agree.... Such posts are total abuse.... AND, not only abusing, but dealing in the thread which is even opposite to a older rule....
"Everyone"then everything should follow the new rules.
Sorry for the bad spelling and occasionally lousy grammar.

Just beside the quote button, you have the edit button to edit your own posts
I didn't want to edit my post, I consider it "raw" emotion

I don't feel Victors(DDTUNG) is such a bad question or not of use to the community/seller.
XS is not only made up of USA people. I mean such a question could be good for the sale of the item so such posts I do not find wrong imho.....

However if "normal" users are forced to PM, then Mods should do so too, unless we wish to have a victorian hierarchy where Fugger Chilly Kazoo are kings, mods aristocrats, XIPs middleclass an the remainders the proletariat.
Scary when I see some action lately that reflects this.

please don't go all melodramatic on me saying the mods and fugger/kazoo/chilly are the warlords opression the people.....
I mean it is not as bad as you discribe.
BTW do not try and put this on the moderators , the prole.....normal users where stripped of their postingpower of what kept happening there.
The fact that you lost your power to post there is not the moderators or admins's fault but only your own. Kazoo changed the rules for a good reason. Things where happening that where turning the for sale into the speak freely.
again, I admit they should just PM'd like everyone else, but all the dust being kicked up for this is redicules I feel.
If you got a problem PM kazoo or Fugger, they will help you out. Making a scene is not going to help anyone. So got problems with the current rules? PM Kazoo

I still don't understand - when there is a question about the way someone is behaving, regardless of who they are - why you don't PM them. I could start posting topics discussing other folks indescretions , I'm sure they would not appreciate that.
I find the notion of a class system on XS amusing. May I apply for court jester?
People who carry out functions on XS just happen to be users of XS as well. They are open to conversation, questioning and are merely human like all the community (well I think there may be a few aliens among the community.. not that I'm naming any names runmc...if that really is your name DA DA DAAAAAH).
Anyhow, this topic was broached before, B.A. was going to crack down on the posts in FS that do not belong regardless of who placed them, why not check in with him and see where this effort is at? It can't hurt and I assure you any FS mod is open to discussion.
The one area where I don't see your point is any mod can and will enforce piccy rules etc in the FS threads. That's life.

This is not the end of the world and there's no reason to cry about it. Sometimes you just need to accept the fact that we have slightly more powersand PMed them asking to stop to please some of you that seem to be ticked off by this fact
If some of you catch post like that in FS, then report that mod using cute little, red button with exclamation mark on it. I will look into it and put you on my personal blacklist for questioning higher authority
I hope this helps

Bachus is dealing with this, and he is in charge of that section. Any problem with a section on XS should be dealt with by contacting one or more mods of that section.
If that dosnt get satisfaction, then contact an admin or the site owners.
No one should break rules, or break protocol. You think a mod breaks a rule follow the correct protocol! Speak to that mod first then the protocol listed above. We will all get on just fine then
Regards
