Someone somewhere mentioned restricting posts based on geography. I don’t agree with a blanket restriction since many brokers/dealers will work out of their home region. BUT, for those broker/dealers who do use restrictions, I’m wondering if it is at all possible for them to add restrictions when creating a thread, kind of similar to Ebay where, when creating a listing, you can select restrictions on types of bidders. So, for example, I’m a broker/dealer who only works in CA and does NOT allow out-of-state deals, then I could select “Only allow posts from users in these regions: …”
Yes, of course they can write “not out-of-state” but many do that and yet posters from out of their state/region still post. It happens daily.
I mentioned then deleted in Aronchi’s thread, a prompt before you get into the thread, something like “just so you are aware, this deal is for this region only, will not entertain other regions” I don’t think you can restrict anyone, but it might help weed out people who don’t read.
Would there be a way for users to know if there is a new update if only the 1st post is continuously edited? Or would you have the broker make a new reply each time?
Well, all they need to do is to read one post which would have the latest updates as well as a permanent header with broker’s review link and contact info. So it would be up to brokers to keep it current.
I think updates to the first post bump the thread up.
That’s not up to me and I can’t, anyway. Why do we have the PNDs on the front page and not in the current Marketplace then? How does this make sense to you? Victoria has the same view as you, btw - that dealer/broker threads should be open for discussion, so here is your answer.
