Tips for a Better BST Experience
We love to have people selling, buying and trading here. To make it fair to everyone and easy to go through the threads, here are some tips.
We are going to be strict on the format of the threads. The subject line should be brief and to the point. For example
Wanted-Oregon-Muscovy Ducks
or
For Sale-Oregon-Muscovy Ducks-Pick up only
or
Trade-Oregon-Muscovy Ducks for Goose Eggs
If your post doesn't follow this, we will ask you to change it. Threads not following htis format may be subject to removal. Thanks in advance.
1) Editing. Please edit your original post to add new info. It is considered bumping when after a few days of no response, you add info or just post something to say anything to bring it to the top. To edit, click the edit link in your first post on the thread.
2) Speaking of bumping .Everyone here wants to be at the top. It is only natural. When you bump your thread, it bumps someone else down. We want this to be fair to everyone. Staff will remove Bump posts. Excessive threads that we have to moderate will be locked. Locked threads are subject to the forum rules regarding locked posts as follows * If a topic is closed or removed do not, under any circumstances, re-post the same topic or material. If you have any questions as to why a thread was closed or removed please contact a BYC staff member. So it is to your advantage to understand this.
3) Chatter. Please dont use the BST forums as a place to chat. Threads filled with excessive chatter will be locked or removed. See #2 above regarding locked threads.
4) When you sell your item, please edit your title to indicate that it is sold. Staff will lock your post so it falls off the front page to give others a chance. This avoids #3 above.
5) If you are interested in entering a transaction with someone, please go ahead and post. If you are not going to enter a transaction and only want to chatter, argue, flame or question the OP, please dont. Such posts will be removed and disciplinary action may be taken against the offender. If you see a problem with a thread, report it.
6) PLEASE PUT YOUR LOCATION IN THE SUBJECT LINE Yes, there. I yelled it. For example, if you have a Pick Up only in your subject line, it wastes my time if I am in Oregon and you are in New Jersey. Know what I mean?
7) Have a great time and good luck with your sales.
