pete.young Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Can someone tell me why I can no longer view a thread in the Wanted forum, for a mandocaster? 'Search' still finds it, but tells me I don't have permission to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Probably just a bit of housekeeping. A number of other threads marked 'sorted' around the same time have also been hidden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB1 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 MB1. Anything with "Sorted, Completed,Withdrawn, Please Remove,etc" ...Gets Deleted. . The person looking for the item has found one and has asked for the ad to be removed. No Point in keeping Old ads in "items Wanted". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 I see. That's all very well, but when someone posts some useful information in response to a request, is it right that it should be lost too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gust0o Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I think I could merge the non-Wanted Items part of that old thread into a new one about Mandocasters, if you wanted to keep that discussion going, since I think it was beginning to branch out? Would that be of help? I'll just edit out the Wanted Item bits, as I think mart has now found one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 [quote name='pete.young' timestamp='1357593058' post='1925126'] I see. That's all very well, but when someone posts some useful information in response to a request, is it right that it should be lost too? [/quote] That's a fair point. There's often useful information in old sold/ withdrawn/ sorted posts. I find that looking at old posts in the "for sale" sections gives useful reference for pricing, comparison, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gust0o Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 We keep most of the old For Sale ones, so I hope that a lot of that information is still out there for you - it's not something you get in a lot of the Wanted Items posts, mind, though I think this one was an exception. Pete, if you do want some of those posts porting over to a Mandocaster thread, please drop me a PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I assume it is just a typo in the header? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB1 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 'pete.young' I see. That's all very well, but when someone posts some useful information in response to a request, is it right that it should be lost too? MB1. The person who posted the ad has the final say If the impression is given it requires deleting it will be regardless of content. For sale items aren't deleted when they're sold as they are left for reference,pricing,comparison Unless asked otherwise. It's the posters call. Not a good idea to post relevant usable information on a instrument in "items wanted" My apologies for any hassle caused Martin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
