Please Please Please Delete Posts that are sold!

Come on guys, really? You're telling me that PMing someone asking if the item is still available is that inconvenient? Is your time that valuable or is the hope that crushes you into tears when you discover the item is sold?

Asking MODs to do anything relating to this is just dumb. Yes posting SOLD is considerate and for the most part it is done but for the odd case... who cares. Also check the date FFS, I still get messages regarding items I posted FS years ago.

Not everyone has the respect to reply to PM's like most of us do Steve & that really gets the fur ruffled on this old bear especially when they are the ones to start the conversations

2 posts directly from one mod that I like to poke fun at once in a while but do think he is also cool to deal with.

It's easy enough to post a follow up post with items that are sold, or price renewals. If someone doesn't have the time to read all 7 posts in an ad, they probably don't have time to drive to your house to buy it. It's not that tough..

The people that want the editing back in the buy/sell forums are typically the ones we're specifically targeting to NOT edit

There is no real NEED for editing, other than perhaps tank journals, which I've always tweaked for people as needed.
