Hogging the parts boards

[Liz]

bringing this back to attention. There have been complaints of folks hogging the parts boards again. Please respect others so that we do not have to step in. Thanks!

There's folk hogging the board and then there is guys like me replying to ads that are a year old and don't even realize it!! lol

You can tell by my avatar that I'm a little far sighted.

Some of you guys are out of hand!
You know who you are.

Hogging the parts board. This might be a dumb question. But is that posting to many ads or buying everything up?

Nothing wrong with helping a member whose post has been left to sink unanswered.

I also will occasionally go back three to five pages if the OP has zero hits then I will do a TTT to help out.

Every day there's a guy who bumps his ads to the top "ttt"
I went back and looked at my emails, and he has "ttt" every single day. He must be deleting his previous ttt, because they don't show up in his sale threads.
Bumping his ad everyday is selfish and rude to others.
In this thread about hogging the board someone mentioned perhaps 3 days minimum between ttt. I personally treat it like Craigslist and only bump my thread weekly.

feel free to PM me, I believe I know whom you are talking about.

TTT as we are ready to enter a new year and a friendly reminder to those on the parts board.

[LostMy65]

Thanks for the bump.
Nice reminder.

Ttt, Bump, Every other day.
Some think their ads are more important than yours, so they Ttt them every other day.
.
I actually make note of these abusers and resolve not to buy anything from them.
.
They are basically spamming the parts board.

I personally don't think that bumping a post every other day or so is egregious, given the number of posts to the for sale board. After two days, the post would be down on page 4 or so.

Hogging is more a matter of crowding threads covering a 'block' of the page or posting several parts all individually, and keeping them together. And yes, most of these people do bump often. You have to deal with human nature any time there are so many in one place. There are also people who bump single listings too often, but it's not such an impact.

There are some who do it more often than that...

People DO look beyond the first few pages, just look at all the dead threads from years past that get dragged up. If the part isn't selling it's not due to lack of exposure, it's priced higher than what someone is willing to pay or is not in demand.
