There are already so many ads on the forum, I'd have thought it's easier for people to only browse through ones that are actually available rather than also have to look at lots of things that have already sold- I was just trying to unclog the forum....

Not in my opinion.


Deleting content is unhelpful to others. They might, for example, waste time a day or two after a post was published, searching for it again but unable to find it.


It's also unhelpful to the poster. It would remove information that might help a reader gain a good impression of them as a seller. It might also get them wondering what reasons anyone had for deleting details of what they had been trying to sell. Most of the ones that come to my mind involve some variety of dishonesty.


I'd leave the housekeeping to Admin, who will mainly be concerned with clogged gigabytes and will trawl from time to time. Users can't delete a whole post anyway, so just take care of the subject line. "Sold" or whatever added there tells all that's needed, in a few tenths of a second. Opening a thread to find the content gone takes a lot longer and may annoy.

    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
    • > however I know I will have to prove it and provide a receipt,  both I can't provide. So what leads you to say that the dustmen have done damage to it?
