Classified Ads

gixrj18 is a member, but hasn't posted on the forums in a long time.

At some point earlier this year Marty set all such users to a status of 'awaiting moderation' which means their account needs to be re-activated to post in the forums. (I've had another user like this who I asked Marty to re-activate).

It also means they don't show up in the standard member list. I can see them in a moderator member list though.

It's possible for members of this stats to still post clasified adds, and I think there are a lot of clasified adds from users who only come here to do that and so because they don't post in the forums they also do not show up in the member list.

These adds were posted recently so I think are still current.

Here is another one, taking Ecuagenera pre-orders for a show in March, 2011.

I've sent a message to the poster to ask if it's still active. It was last bumped by the poster in January this year and is set to expire in just over a week. I will check back in just over a week and see if it's still active.

1 week later and the time left on the ad is now 4 weeks.

Hmm, yes.

I've asked Marty for info on why this might be (whether the user is changing this, or if something automatic is happening). Not sure yet.

I am not certain, but always thought it must be automatic ...

Seems odd, what's the point in and end date on a listing if it then automatically updates to something else when it gets to the end
