Active Thread Timer Poll

[EpicNPC]

Currently threads auto-close after 60 days of no activity. This means no bumps or posts.

Someone recently commented that this is too long for buyers when they're browsing threads and see many open inactive threads.

I want to ask the community if they think this timer should be lowered and if so, how many days is a good amount until a thread should be closed.

yes make it 388383 years

15-30 days sound betters . Having 60 days of no activity is way too long

 

[BoostingMarket]

30 days is better.

if you are an active seller there is NO REASON to leave a post without bump or a reply for more than 2 weeks actually. So yeah, 60 days makes so necromancers takes threads back to life, bumping above active threads.

 

[pemberton20]

I voted for 15 days but I'd also go for 30. No point in having a bunch of dead clutter.

 

[kenny_black04]

30 days Mike, more is useless

 

[MoonMeAndHer]

30d are good

 

[electron2007]

voted for 30 days

 

[ohwurm]

maybe not close but make it disappear until thread owner reactivate it ,u know it takes time to make a thread

 

[PurePet]

15 or 30 - best option.

 

[CBSthegreat]

30 days

 

[mesid]

30 is a better option, 30 days is plenty of time for activity

 

[Elodia1]

This means no bumps or posts.

if someone rly wants to sell something he will definitely bump or post something in his topic every 1/2 days

so yes, even 15 days are good

It is ,but if one business man takes a break or travel ,come back crying thread gone maybe there should be an option that the thread automatically " deactivated " after long time no bump or post

 

[Lafit]

30 days deadline is best way to start moving.

 

[creAtiff]

30 days seems nice, wouldn't argue against 15 either.

 

[YouRememberMe]

20-30 days its better

 

[SOLOMIDBRO]

30 days.

 

[Balalaikaboost]

60 days is the figure at which 100% of the information will not be relevant

30 days I think.

Are we able to reactivate the thread ourselves? If so a shorter time would be good.

 

[EpicNPC]

You can still reactive your threads now. Just click the bump now button, that will reset the timer and reopen the thread.

 

[Grendel]

Sellers need to continuously update their post, sometimes prices are different from what is actually advertised.

 

[Logisticz]

I would say 15 - 30 Days. I would actually go with 15 Days to reduce the spam.

 

[armytarmy11]

15 or 30 i think is best. I agree 60 is way too long.

 

[Nushizu]

I think 15 days is the best bet since 30.... you are still in the long term... most ppl dont care after 15 days of reading or looking for anything. 15 is the marker I think.

 

[doomedtofail]

30 days. Since we added auto close to threads, it stopped most thread necroing.
A lot of it lately is spamming dead wtb threads in social media threads.

 

[Aria Company]

I'm in support of 15 days/30 days - I originally voted 15, but 30 is more suitable for low forum activity sections.

 

[tutorial]

30 days is more than enough. As mentioned throughout the thread - if you're an active seller, there really isn't much reason to abandon your thread for more than that amount of time.

 

[ogdigbick1]

30 days is the sweetspot and also the usual time for classified threads to be closed after 30 days if not sold or no activity across many forum/online boards.

You can still reactive your threads now. Just click the bump now button, that will reset the timer and reopen the thread.

Thanks, I never knew this.

 

[EpicNPC]

I appreciate all the input.

The auto-close timer has now been changed to 30 days now. I'll make a new announcement thread for it.
