Some issues

[RazorClaw]

Hi,

I have some issues with how Celadon Department Store is run I find it to strick and has an atmosphere of favoritism involved and the hope that everyone pokemon fan/freak uses this site and will post on a thread which is not true thus the thread get's closed to allow the mods/super mods/admins/higher ups here and their friends to have the only running shops in Celadon Department Store boards.

Please go ahead and elaborate, I'm not sure what you're talking about here. All threads have the same lockdown period of 14 days, as noted in the GTS rules (I think in Celadon Dept. Store rules too) - this is handled automatically by the forums and there's no favoritism involved on our part. Whether you have customers or not is in no way controllable by us, either.

yes it controlled by u u can set it up the server to not close down shops for no activity since it sems u only want one shop here this site is startign to suck no wonder everyone is on the Serebii.net forusm at least they don't set up a lock out shop at time.

Fiddling with the time limit only lets us the unpopular (for whatever reason) or abandoned shops to lie idly there longer, it doesn't remove the inevitable closure of shops that don't interest visitors. The auto-close is up because people often just disappear without any notion, and we don't want open shops without any shop owner to float around there. Furthermore, this rule has been in place since the advent of Shop Subcenter in the old trade section; it was just automatized when the new section was created.

Also, I'm under the impression that all of our sections with auto-close use the same cutoff time for technical reasons, so modifying the time would change it on all other forums (like Bulbanews section).

That said, I'm not planning to make changes to automatic closure.

w/e this is getting no where fast u don't like spam so we can't show that the owner is here but if no one replies to our shop we can't ensure teh active status of the thread good idea nice plan at making us lose our shops.

Double posting is allowed by the shop owner if the new post contains enough new information, such as Pokémon reserve updates.

This rule was implemented in the newer incarnation, so no, we do have a way to make sure you're still alive, unlike before. Unless, well, you don't have anything new and no one's interested in your wares, in which point you should probably consider trying single trades instead.

Also, I don't remember you ever PMing me about your shop, which seems to be the source of the problem here; we have previously and still do open threads by request.

Please stop speaking like we'd have some sort of conspiracy here, we do not control which shops prosper and which don't.

Yes their is a Conspiracy here cause all u need to code in or look for are cookies to see if the shop owner refreshed set page at their end or do u not have a web developer background at here.

The current system does what it's meant to do just fine, there's no need to use up resources for writing an alternative. And I don't believe anyone would be interested in such a job either.

No, we don't. None of that stuff is possible.

w/e get a professional web designer/web developer in and fix it cause everytime a person refreshs a page it should tell the server their still ther and looking at it or allow bumping of the owners thread so their is activity since thus far this forum site sucks bad or are u to cheap to get a good sized hard drive to run on ur server to allow for a large forum site?

It already does.

and looking at it or allow bumping of the owners thread so their is activity

Looking at it to keep it active doesn't even make sense. And Soulweaver already explained how to keep shops open without bumping.

since thus far this forum site sucks bad or are u to cheap to get a good sized hard drive to run on ur server to allow for a large forum site?

A bigger server wouldn't solve any of the problems you have.

WOW talk abotu favutorism kep active by getting busy lawls have it open for 2 weeks no business closes, thus needing bumping noob 2 weeks is a short time for threads maybe for technology it is a long time but for this shit it's not.
