I agree 100% with this.

I think this would be fine, but I think other people should be able to post on your threads, but not make it bump the thread.

The one item, in my opinion, that was lost back when the 48hr rule and the fear of being banned for it went into effect, was the discussion that went on on a thread.

People should be able to ask questions, state they like the cue, etc, but only the OP's 48hr bump should cause the thread to be bumped to the top. If there is a charge for that, fine...that would CERTAINLY slow down the bumpage.

One thing you have to admit...AZB is ahead of its time. Most sites are trying to get more action on their websites, and AZB is having to slow their action down.

I would love a series of photo galleries.

Shop via a scroll of pictures. Plus would love some additional sort and search functions.

Bumping creates Action, and a constant new look to page 1..

I'm CONSTANTLY checking out Azb Wanted/For Sale 6-8 times a day easily..
I'm sure a lot of guys that have the freedom do also...

The whole idea of the forum is exposure..
Getting people to come back, or stay logged on..

There was a time the Wanted/For Sale section Page 1 would turn in 1-2 hours..
Hell I remember back in the day it could be 30-45 minutes.. There was A LOT of people
in the section PARTICIPATING!

Action creates Action (sales, movement, participation, $$$)

I'm looking at page 1, and it's 4:18 PM..
The very bottom thread on page 1 was posted at 8:45 AM..

That's over 7 hours of stagnant participation..
Pretty weak if I say so myself..

Who the hell wants to look at the same item on page 1 for 5,6-8 hours??

Why would the powers that be want a non moving wanted for sale section?
It makes zero sense..

People bumping threads by saying "That's a pretty cue!" is the whole reason we are in this predicament.

BigNBeefY · 11-18-2014, 05:52 PM

This seems like a big work around for something that would be pretty simple to fix...the main problem is that comments on a given topic bump the post to the top correct?...why? Why not create a button that only allows the creator of the topic to bump it to the top? Its not rocket science. A random comment such as "good lookin cue" shouldnt bring the entire cue economy to its knees. Bad structure yields bad results. Comments by anyone other than the creator should probably not alter the order of any thread...

He has a lot of duplicate for sale ads posted in 48 hours, that is absolute bullsh*t.

The its George stamped cue was posted on 11/16 and today....

Sorry Bill but that I believe is against the rules, and if isn't it should be and if it is , they should all be deleted, and your right to post an ad suspended for 72 hours.

Same goes to the other genius.

THIS IS THE RULE...

DO NOT START ANY NEW THREADS FOR EXISTING ITEMS ALREADY FOR SALE.

If you attempt to bypass the rules in this way, your threads will be deleted, you will be warned and if it happens after that.....a lengthy ban.

I am sorry these guys broke the rule MULTIPLE TIMES TODAY... all the threads should be gone at a MINIMUM....

Billiardbills and Rush72, time to play whack a mole...

So what do we do if we'd want to bump our threads now? Do we post a new thread?

CueAddict81 · 11-18-2014, 08:58 PM

I check the for sale section every couple hours using Tapatalk, and that doesn't show bumps. No bueno.

Because most folks can check the for sale stuff all day. Thus, the guy who gets home at work can still see what is for sale that day, he didn't miss anything, and the seller now has another possible customer.

Now, if someone has the time, all day, to review the for sale ads for hours at a time, it won't kill him to go to page 2.

For those of you who have been searching for that "monster," you've found it. This section is no longer recognizable and has morphed into something that benefits no one.

I'm not so sure there is any benefit of Panjo listings being integrated with the For Sale forum, but I see no problem with the default view which shows threads/ads in the order they were posted.

The old system of showing bumped ads on page 1 merely makes this not a "For Sale" forum but an "Unsold Forum".

Remove the Panjo listings and all of the ads new and old can be easily seen.

I like the new changes. I am one that checks the forum 10 times per day but now I can pop in and see whats new in 15 seconds. Before, I would have to go through 15 posts to find 1 new post. If there is a cue I'm interest in, I make a note of it and go to the thread once a day to see if there has been a price drop, etc.

I also hope it will encourage folks to price their cues fairly from the start instead of asking 3 times the price knowing they and their friends can bump it telling them how special it is every 30 minutes. We know the market is soft. If you want to sell here, price your cue that way and let's go...

Seems pretty easy to me.
