Closing threads

[chrisroe]

Dear Mods & rockers

Can someone explain the reason threads are closed straight away when we post a job up ?
Im sure there is a good reason but eg i cant update the thread or give more info etc also if their isnt a lot of interest etc

also how do i post back comments made from these people good or bad on their experiances following a recommendation via the forum


Await your thoughts

the thread is closed so you can pm the member directly and not divulge prices!
customers can log in and post a thread recomending you or praising you

[doug boardley]

Pretty much what David has said Chris. Also if you get a few tilers that are desperate for work it could lead to animosity in public forum and bickering.

[chrisroe]

yes i get that side of things but would it make sence that the person who started the thread can add / update the info on the job etc or bump the thread again to gain more interest !

the feedback side of things needs to be a looked at as well cause its all fine when a job goes well but we need to address the fact not every job will be a success and like it or not the company/ tiler need feedback especially if it bad so they can take it on board

[doug boardley]

But it's not a discussion section of the forum Chris, just a notice board kind of thing. Maybe best if you pm Dan or Dave for a more detailed explanation

If you wanted to add anything to the original thread, a PM to one of the mods or Admin would be the best way.
As stated we do "cloese" the thread as we dont want to start a discussion in a public area and therefore we suggest the PM system. We also make the thread a "Sticky" so that it stays at the top of the list and doesnt get lost among others.
As for any feedback then that should be started as a new thread entirely.
Any other problems just give me a shout , you know I am only here to help

As mentioned they are closed to stop pricing in the open forums and made sticky to stop in the top half of that forum, they are also marked new job until they are sorted which we then mark them complete and unsticky them to drop away from the top of the list.

If anyone who posts a job requires anything added then all you do is contact or moderator or admin and as mentioned above, feedback is simply that and leave that in a new thread recommending your tiler, we have a forum for that as well..

This system works well and we do not intend to change it..

As above.
