Control of parts sale threads!
We need a way of getting people to stop reviving old for sale threads. Lately we've had a lot of n00bs coming in, all parts horny, and bumping year old stuff.
Can we have them automatically get deleted or locked after something like 2 months?
If people really care about selling their stuff, they'll bump it at least once every 60 days, right?

They could also delete the entire thread.

The best method is for a member to mark there thread SOLD after the item is sold... If they can't remember to go back and type sold I doubt they will go back and lock it.
The "thread expired" would be to much of a pain in the ass, a mod/admin would basically have to do it by hand to each thread.

Mods dont have day jobs. So they have time. I thought this was thier living.

i would agree with this as well. vendor can contact admin when they want to close it out.
bad thing is if a vendor sees it he my do another g/p on the product. perfect example was the shorty antenna from ARK. had someone not asked about it he may not have redone a g/p on it again and i wouldnt have bought 2 of them for my 2 cars.
or aaron at turbo tech had a weekend sale on the injen but since some are still asking about it hes keeping the price a little longer.
but all in all i agree with the statement

You guys know you can delete your own threads... right?
WRT locking up old threads... VBulletin should have an option in the admin control panel to either automatically lock, or delete threads older than XX days. As I recall it's called 'topic clean up' or something to that effect.
