"Greetings, Beer Traders!
Thought we'd kickoff the New Year with a new log and much needed update.
Too many users have ignored or abused the repost rules for far too long. This resulted in a lot of reports from other users, a lot of warnings issued by mods and subsequent tears.
Thread Limit
Thanks to Mike, we just applied some custom code to the forums that removes the need for the repost rule. Its goal is to reduce reports/warnings/hurt feelings, force users to put a bit more effort and thought into their offers and restrict those who were essentially over-posting, cross-posting or spamming offers.
Currently, here's the deal:
- Users may only post once every 24 hours in any ISO or In-Person forum. So if you post in ISO:FT, you can't post again in any other ISO or In-Person forum for 24 hours.
- Upon posting, the ability to post is disabled until the restriction expires.
- Deleting your thread doesn't bypass this restriction. Once you post, it counts. This includes threads removed by mods.
- Users still have the ability to edit/delete at will.
- Feel like posting the same offer as the one you did the day before? Go for it! But it's your one thread for the day.
- All of the above applies to mobile too.
- Beer Trading Rules have been updated.
Thanks again to Mike for translating my request into code. We hope you dig it.
Cheers!"
