mike_bike_kite Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 It's quite frustrating reading the for Sale posts because folk don't put in info into the titles like location. Why not have a sticky post telling people what to include in their post ie: Location (country and city) in the title Whether they are selling or looking to buy in the title Type of wheel (manufacturer and model) Battery power Age Mileage (perhaps tell them how to get it from wheellog etc) Photo's of the wheel and handle Price! Perhaps also tell them to put in a follow up post when they sell it. Mike 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Thank you for the inspiration, it was overdue. A post with some rules has been added to the Private sales forum. This isn't 100% final, so if you have any suggestions or improvements, feel free to discuss that here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_bike_kite Posted December 3, 2019 Author Share Posted December 3, 2019 Thanks for doing that, hopefully in time it will make things easier. You did ask for improvements East Coast isn't very location specific, we have a very pleasant East Coast here in the UK. Suggesting adding a wheellog status (or similar) might be useful though not essential. If it was me then I'd ask for a fairly fixed pattern [WTB or Sale or Sold] - [Location] - [what you're selling or buying] - [optional price] WTB - Beginner wheel - California WTB - Gotway MSX - London Sale - KS16S - New York - $700 Sold - KS16S - New York - $700 I'm not sure what the past tense of WTB is? Bought? Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meepmeepmayer Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) The idea (for now) is to keep the requirements minimal (and therefore the moderation workload). We'll see how it goes and what else comes up. Added "app screenshot" to the ideas due to your input. Thanks! - Personally, I think Sale - KS16S - New York - $700 Sold - KS16S - New York - $700 looks visually too similar (especially if other posts have the same format). Titles like Looking for 16S in New York 16S $700 New York [Sold] 16S $700 New York are easier to parse, right?

mike_bike_kite Posted December 3, 2019 Author Share Posted December 3, 2019 Yes, I agree, Sale & Sold do look too similar. Thanks for doing this. Hope it all works Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
