I posted a gun for sale and it sold, how do I delete the ad? I can't find a delete button. Thanks for the help.
Sounds like you want moderators to stop deleting so you can ask folks to send the links/urls. Is that what you want? I have been deleting for months if Sold or Delete is added in the title! Again, your forum so please tell us what you want!They have to be physically deleted by someone, so send me the url
Nope. Feel free to delete of course.Sounds like you want moderators to stop deleting so you can ask folks to send the links/urls. Is that what you want? I have been deleting for months if Sold or Delete is added in the title! Again, your forum so please tell us what you want!
Hey I know this is a couple years old, but it made it seem like you're the right person to ask. After someone has sold an item, where is the button/whatever way to mark it sold so it gets archived or deleted? It looks like some people put "sold" in the title (or "please delete"), some people seem to mark it with a visible tag called "Sold/Found," which seems like the best option, and some just leave it active forever. Whatever the right way is, could instructions get added to the rules or somewhere so that users actually mark old posts correctly? I'm often finding posts for items I want to buy but getting no responses (probably because it was already sold). Is there anything we can do to go through and cull the old listings? I'm happy to volunteer to do whatever would be needed to help with this. Also, maybe items marked with the tag/flair of "Sold/Found" should me automatically archived?Nope. Feel free to delete of course.
I meant, people will email me and ask me to delete an ad. I have no issues, but they need to send a link. I'm not going to waste time pulling it all up for them when they can simply send the link in the first place.
Soon with the new system, this will be a non-issue anyway, they can mark them sold coming up. The system will work better.
