I’m certainly not young @ 42 years. I’m not upset, I didn’t come here for a whole 8 months. I’m just pointing something out. I’m not interested in being notified about Every. Single. Post. I am also not cluttering my email with that nonsense. I am glad you like it, I know there are others here with the same opinion, that is obvious by the gatekeepers!
 
What kind of change do you suggest? The only thing I would ask to be added is search by brand. But that's it.
IDK yet, that is why I would like it to be discussed! It is my opinion that it is too easy to just keep hitting the refresh button. There are folks here that manufacture parts on their own that advertise on the classifieds, and as it is now, I can’t complain about those individuals because their ad doesn’t change, doesn’t need to, and should reach new users and those just discovery this site and/or the classifieds section. Perhaps at the very minimum if something doesn’t sell, and the price or options never change, require the person to actually go through the process of making another ad. This route, I know has its own issues, hence creating this post to facilitate discord among the users in order to enrich the user experience for everyone! I mean, it has already been modified because people were inquiring on certain ads as to the poster clown shoe preference. Apparently enough of these individuals got tired of being called out so they lobbied for the current system that restricts ad comments. I’m not going to say it wasn’t getting out of hand, but it seemed to me that it was simply censorship because no one likes accountability through community peer-review. This is a trend we are seeing in all social media; xwitter, and now Facebook being front and center.

This isn’t feedback, this is a discussion. I posted in general so it would be seen and get engagement, but apparently that isn’t the aim here. Good luck guys, I hope you don’t shoot your eye out.
Nothing wrong with discussion. I think some folks are quick to jump hard because there is a fair amount of griping about the classifieds, albiet most is crying about the 10 post/ 10 day thing. Probably puts some folks on defense when they see a post regarding the classifieds. But... your post was productive. I know I didnt realize the filtering and seems others didnt realize as well so kudos!

This was more a post directed at the mod who moved the post to the “feedback” section. I DM’d the mods, we’ll see if it falls on deaf ears.. I posted in “general” to get engagement so that we as community could attempt to improve the user experience. Perhaps this is an American thing, but I always lean towards democracy when it comes to community action. After the community has a chance to discuss the issue, I’ll gladly post my “feedback”, as an opinion backed by the user base, in the appropriate forum. The forum post truncating system this very reply is advocating is why I posted in “general”, and I didn’t even know about it, per-se. I’m sure the majority of users then that are using this feature are not subscribed to the “feedback” forum. This is all the more reason to move it back where it was to begin with!

For a guy who has been absent from AGN for the last 8 months, you sure seem to think that you know best how to run the place. SMH.

Your post concerns the operation and organization of the forum. Well look there, by definition it is a Forum Feedback topic.

The General Discussion forum is a sub-forum of AIRGUNS AND ACCESSORIES. Nothing in your rantings about how a website you rarely visit is specifically about Airguns and Accessories - it's all about how you are unhappy that the world does not meet your special needs due to your inability to work with what is provided to you for free.

Life is hard.

Thanks for the input! You certainly told me how it is! Make sure to vote in the poll, your opinion matters!
 
I come back to browse the ad section after about 8 months, and it is still a nightmare. Having to wade through the 10, 15, 20, 35+ reply ads that are overpriced and don’t sell is a major hurdle to both buyers AND sellers! I know this isn’t the first time this has been brought up. Are we ever gonna fix this?

Regards

lol, ppl complaining about stagnation and how this is the last great bastion of airgunning yet this is your mentality? Sure bud, let’s gatekeep the hobby! The idea that inclusivity is somehow a bad thing is frankly a plague. Thanks for your input though, and please vote; your input matters too!
