marloes:
If one may be so bold, can we make suggestions for this forum?
For instance, how about a sell & buy section?
Sturmkatze:
Maybe. I don't know about auctions. Certainly we can add classifieds. :D
marloes:
yes thats the idea, simply allow people to post things they have for sale and put up a big huge disclaimer that the selling is at own risk, forum isnt responsible etc.
So just a little classified section so we can afford this expensive hobby by selling reenactment stuff to each other ;)
Sturmkatze:
Give me a few days to get stuff under control. I think there's a mod for classifieds... I need to go look again. There's all KINDS of mods. Even ones to make google ads work here... we'll see. :-)
Reichpapers:
Just a little heads up. I moderate over at mg42.us. There are a few problems that seem to arise concerning a for sale section.
1. You have people who come on the boards and register just to sell an item. The solution we came up with is a minimum post count required to post in the for sale section. If they did not have at least 5 posts they couldn't access the F/S section.
2. It should be required to post a picture of the item for sale. Reduces the risk of fraud.
3. Some f/s posts start a shite storm that ends up becoming a major battle thread. Seems that some folks don't agree with posted prices or item origins.
4. There should be a review section for folks who frequently sell in the forums. Lets people have a voice concerning the goods and bads of dealing with a vendor or individual.
5. If asked of a moderator, the for sale post should be locked on request if the seller doesn't want a debate over his item.
That's my 2 cents.
