auctions comm?

[13thought.livejournal.com]

hello lolis! mostly as a response to ubercookie, and quite a few others, would you-all like a seperate loli auctions "group" to post in? If so, I'll be glad to moderate it the best i can; as in, make sure that the auctions are at *least* egl/ega-able (im nice, i swear). The question is though, will members of this community, and possibly egl-plus and metamorphique, look through it? or would it be better to just continue posting items for sale here, and not bother with a whole new list? You all decide! yes, no, reasons, etc.
domo arigatou! -*natsuko*-

p.s.-side note, i think it might also be a good place for everyone that *provides* egl/ega items (ebay, personal store, special request) to post up their info as a catalouge to look through. would be a good resource, at the least. mayhap?

You could always view the post as a moderator before it's posted on this site and judge whether or not it's egl. ^_^

And yes, I agree with you. <3

Why a separate group? Not saying it's not a good idea (it is), but I think a lot of the trouble is caused by the fact that the ebay posts generally comprise of a huge picture or collage of pics. Plus often a list of the stuff underneath.

How about just banning picture ads? Just make em include the url & a (very) brief summery of what's on offer. By that I mean what size range they're selling, & what countries you'll ship to. When you think about it that's the most important info for potential customers. No point making people go 'Oooh!' with pretty pics, then they click on & find it won't fit & they live in the wrong country. Maybe go further & hide the summery behind a cut? That way it's just a one line post.

And maybe a rule that says you can only have one auction post a month or whatever?

yes, for a while there was quite a bit of...posting...about auctions being too huge, and for a while all the auctions became lj-cuts. it seems that the pictures are starting to come back, and it looks like frustrations are building again. the only real way to ban picture ads is to have mod who will delete them, but i don't know who the mod is, or if *they* are willing to do that
