finally a mod gave you the same answer everyone else did.
Two people gave an answer, then a mod, which confirmed to me that as
presently written in the rules no violation had occurred. That doesn't mean the offense that occurred wasn't wrong, or that it could be a future violation via rule addendum. And that mod response brought us here to this poll/discussion, which is a good thing.
Jsp isn’t going to force someone to trade people items.
Enforcement is a legitimate concern, but easy for users and mods to be accustomed to a common-sense rule: "auction is an auction" and, "users should start auctions responsibly, they are liable for their timed-auctions". I would suggest a warning system, then a timed restriction for creating new auctions for further offenses.
what made you think we have an auction posts problem that warrant cleaning?
It's been happening for years, not infrequently. I'm not saying there is a large percentage of posts that include this problem. But if it's ever happened to you'd have the same feeling such as, "Why am I even bidding? Is it an auction or not?" It's a turnoff and a disappointment for users that has a simple solution.
I voted no.
I do not feel there is an issue large enough warranting this type of rule change. I understand the frustration in the situation you personally dealt with, but I do feel the seller should in the end have the final say if their product is sold or not. Thank you for the suggestion though.
Thanks for your vote and sharing! I agree that the seller should have final say in "make-me-an-offer" auctions but not in timed-auction because the seller makes the choice as to his minimum acceptable bid. He should set the minimum only if he is comfortable with selling it for that amount, otherwise, he should not do timed-auctions.
