Lock Topics In Auction Forums

we should be able to lock our own topics in the auction forum when the items are sold...it would help be more organized and cut down on some spam

 

Good function but problably people abuse it :S Like he just made the thread and he will close it :S

 

yea but.....u dont get creds or post count so i think its pretty good but like AE said sometime someone is gonna abuse it

 

there is this nifty little feature called "open/close own topics you've started". it's availlable in the shop. only 60 creds...

 

more expensive for people without discount on the shop LA

 

oh i'm sorry.. *checks again* nope.. it's the same price when i'm logged out. so i think it stays the same when you have a normal account.. so only 60 creds

 

yea but no but yea...............lol thats a cool idea but then you could close random topics nd not have a deacent thread goin then wheres the fun in that

cool idea nehoo

 

there is a function in the ACP that is "allow user to close own topics?", im sure there is a mod somewhere that allows people to close their topics in certain forums and not in others.

That way nothing could really be extremely abused. Flood control stops massive spamming, and any mod who sees remote spamming will simply delete the threads, warn/suspend the user, etc. It allows the auction room to stop threads with too much junk in them.

Also, who has 60 creds to buy that item from the store EVERY SINGLE time they auction? I mean, my signatures go for probably 60-80 average, but im not gonna give you 60 creds of my prize money simply to close a topic that should be made inactive as soon as its closed.

Just my $0.02

 

okay.. i got confused. i thought he meant shops. seeing that it is about auctions. maybe it is a good idea after all.

 

I back this idea all the way

Also if you purchase donator; you can open and close your own topics everywere

 

I think its a good idea cuz it will be more organized..
but it probly will be abused a bit by some members..

maybe for premium or donator members only if thats possible? Idk if its even possible to do for only one forum...

 

^ donators can close any of their topics, in what ever forum.

When a bid didnt reach the final, or the creator got angry, threads would be closed. The auction room already has too many auctions not following through; this would increase it.

 

A simple answer to this would be to edit post after the auction has closed so people are aware that the auction has finished and the winning bidder has won the item.

The only reason it becomes messy is when people bump their topic by saying auction closed. This only brings the thread back to the top of the pile again and make people look without having any recognition of it being closed.
