I cannot be the only one who gets annoyed by logging in, checking "new posts" seeing one or two threads by members, and then what sometimes seems like three pages of one or two vendors bumping their own threads.

Is there any way this might be addressed?
I get it, vendors help pay the bills, but there has to be a happy balance where a vendor gets some exposure, but doesn't appear to be taking over the forums.

Most vendors seem to be fine, but there are a couple who seem to ***** up the forums and ruin the experience here;
I know that on occasion I go specifically to the vendors subforum to look at what's being offered...

But hey, those are just my thoughts.

 

I agree, the irritating part is it's not different vendors offering new sales/products/etc. its one vendor using the same post to bump every thread they ever posted in the vendor deals sub-forum.

 

We will be told this is how the site is paid for and to stop bitching.

But everything said above is true.

 

Can you just use the ignore feature or does that not work for vendors?

 

yeah, I hate how I see bunch of new posts, to realize its the same vender bumping up threads.

 

I have previously tried using the "ignore" feature, but it doesn't seem to work that way.

I would wager that a whole lot more is made on advertizements.

EDIT: I just looked again;
within the first two pages of "new posts" TWENTY are from one vendor.

 

Just something you gotta deal with then. They pay to be here and there arent any rules against bumping threads.

 

Agree with everyone here

 

It does suck sometimes but it really isnt a problem to scroll down a little further, they pay to be here and help keep the site running its a necessary evil

 

When they are there i usually just go check out mypost section

 

yeah everyone hates this but nothing is going to happen about it unfortunately :/

 

Hey guys,

I will see if we can exclude vendor threads from the feed, I know the vendors do not want to tick off their potential customer base and do appreciate the feedback. Thanks.

Update: Vendor threads have been removed from the Front Page 'Latest Topics' feed.

Bob..

 

Thank you

 

Oh yeahhhhhh.

bobs the man

 

dayum! i complained about this years ago and was told to get over it..

Still a flood of them in the new topics sadly :/

 

wow!
thanks!

 

sooo... he fixed the part that wasnt annoying?

 

i never check the latest topics feed because most of those and more can be found in the new posts search.
