Hi all,
Don't worry, we are still around. We actually started working immediately after the CNY public holidays. I'm sorry that we may seem a little slower recently in removing the highlighted threads as we are busy with some other tasks at the moment. For example, we are busy developing the look of SingaporeMotherhood.com. Also, I've been consulting with other IT experts (hopefully) in how we can manage the future traffic growth of the forum. I hope to be able to speed up the forum response but it is a complex decision as every solution has its pros and cons, especially when we have a very limited budget.
About new users posting sales threads in WTB and other markeplace threads, we are painfully aware of the situation. We know that we can restrict access to all the marketplace threads for new users, but similarly, they would start posting their sales in non-marketplace threads. We are reluctant to limit access to the "WTB/Free Items" thread also because we feel it'll be unfair to the genuine new users who are really looking to buy or free pass-me-downs.
This is our dilemma and we are sorry that we don't have any creative solutions yet.
Regards,
Chin Leng.
