Is it that effing hard to read the rules? Please let me be the enforcer.

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerReported - clearly one of those who got in under the exemption. I think if you did get in that way, and are breaking the rules, you should lose your exemption...

·Ugh so sorry guys - totally forgot about that (should have refreshed myself on the rules). Acknowledge my mistake and will bear in mind going forward. Please remove the listings/posts if need be. Again, my apologies for overstepping here.

·Unfortunately, all but one of the 4 are bumping to post that it has been sold. This is a perfect example of why I dislike the policy of allowing bumping listings just to say it's sold.

·Agreed- changing the tittle from FS to Sold achieves the same goal without bumping the post- I thought that was common sense.

·And to add to that- I have seen older FS posts that still show as FS but say sold in the listing as the last post- please change the prefix of the title to Sold.

·Funny you mention that. I inquired about a watch for sale on another forum that didn't show sold. The seller responded to my inquiry with SOLD! I suggested, in a not-so-subtle way, that marking it sold was a good way to stop interested parties from asking about it.
It's great that OF allows one to edit the title to mark a listing sold. In some other forums, one cannot edit a post (or title) after a certain amount of time passes. So if you want to change anything, including the price or status, the only option is to add a reply. Here, we don't have that problem, and when someone adds a final reply to say "SOLD", it always makes me think that they are doing it to call attention to themselves. "Look at me, I sold a watch. Thanks OF!" And then other people pile on: "Congrats on the sale."
Anyway, I don't think there's a realistic way to control any of this. But that won't stop me from ranting. 🫨

·Oy, sorry. Just added pics at the request of an interested party and didn’t think of it as bump,but I understand the concern that it is. My apologies.
You can always edit a previous post to add photos, which will not bump the thread, and is perfectly ok to do.
