IMO more and more people are posting transaction results in the For Sale section. There is a sticky for this. Please use it.

Sorry I'm just whining. It's cluttering up the section.

Good question that doesn't have a good answer. I think some of the cue pimps try to help each other get "cred" and they feel seeing their name in threads accomplishes that goal.

I'm sure someone will clarify this.....:confused:
 
let's start with all the inappropriate threads that are not controlled at azb. starting with my post which has nothing to do with wanted/for sale.:)

people are too lazy to look.
 
I think the list is to long i used it lately and i do another post so all can see it quicker. Maybe use something like rep points kinda thing on public profile. Maybe a thirty day sticky then its turns into rep points or stars on the profile.

All you have to do is do a simple search on any username in the sticky and you will find all transaction reports associated with that name. Try it. It's actually pretty useful; nobody actually reads through the whole thread.
 
Well I kind of agree. The sticky is too long and not everyone views it just for fun. So posting one had a good transaction does in a way let everyone get to see it easily. I hardly think it takes up too much room as nobody replies to the post but the two who made the transaction. Everyone else just views it. I see nothing wrong with them being posted here. I also don't care either way so just my thoughts on it.


Thanks,

how about just a bar graph or simple star rating. something like ebay. no anecdotes, no nothing...just a star rating LIST.

does anybody REALLY need to read details and stories. it is a total waste of space..... what's good enough for ebay should be good enough for azb.

it could look something like this....

cueaddicts........*****5
jam....................*****5
mr.wilson..........*****5
sjm....................*****5
scammer...........*.5
bruin70..............***********11

I hope you do not really believe that!:eek: I think we hold our self to a higher standard than that.:p
 
It doesn't matter how long the sticky is. If you have a question about a buyer/seller, then search for their name. I think it works great.

Probably because they don't see its there, and people think its harder to use for some reason. I like it, just open the thread and search on a username and I get plenty of information.

I have to agree with Josh on this one. Yes, I know about the sticky, but more new AZB'rs do not even know about the sticky, or how to look at it, so to post one thread that only the 2 people will reply to and the post will quickly find itself on page 10 in 3 days doesn't truly hurt anybody that I know of. I didn't see a rulebook when I signed on, so much of the greatness of this forum is that as long as you respect each other in posts and transactions, this site works well. That is why it is not Ebay, and never will be. Yes, this is the wanted/for sale forum, and just as this post qualifies for this arena (since it is discussing wanted/for sale forum questions), so does a transaction post about a deal gone good or bad. Should only BAD transactions get their own post? I say this because without Jun's bad transaction post, how many people would have known about chrisc's dealings on an archery forum? I think an individual post allows MORE people to see it, more likely the beginners to this site or the ones who are not well-versed in AZB's abilities, and what is so wrong about that? I say, if you don't like it, don't open the post, but last time I checked a forum is meant to meet the needs of all of its members, new and old. The sticky is fine for some, but I do not consider it PERFECTION, and therefore I will continue to post transaction highlights and lowlights in the Wanted/for sale section. Of course, until I am told by the moderators to do otherwise. Moderation is a good thing. Just my 2 cents.

My opinion - but not everybodys

I could care less about "Rep points". My rep is made by the actual dealings I have had with people, and what they can tell other people about my actions and my dealings. No green square next to my name can truly say that, since anybody can give rep points - good or bad - and there is no rule behind the giving of Rep points that I know of, or a checks and balances. Now some people have tons and they deserve every single one of them, but those people can also provide actual names of people on AZB who would say good things about the transactions they have had with them, and that is what concerns me the most when dealing with somebody. So you can keep your little green and red squares, I just want the good rep to be felt and held by others towards me when somebody actually asks them about me and my dealings.

IMHO you should leave a transaction report in the sticky.. IF you need to post a follow up you should do it in the original thread the ad was posted in.

I think sticky implys bad transaction

??????????????

If you don't use stickey it defeats the purpose. With the stickey in place its easy to define between dead-beats an good guys. I'm a 100% for the stickey an its a time saver. Please use stickey it will work for everyone.
