Archivation/sorting of ended/cancelled auctions in Auction Postings forum

[crisp marten]

Currently auction postings looks kind of disorganized - sometimes somewhere among ended auctions you can find ongoing auctions, some people do not set tags for auctions status (e.g. ongoing phase, trade phase, auction phase etc. etc.)

My suggestion is to revamp auction postings in the same way as it was recently done with bug reports forum: all of ended and cancelled auctions will be archived (sorted as old publications) while still active auctions will be visible on top.

In my opinion this will lead to auction posting being more organized with active auctions being easier to find for players as well as for moderation.

• it will also be easier to identify auctions without tag about its status and enforce rule AR.4

kewl idea

[errant rune]

discord doesn't really have a feature to transfer forum posts to a different channel

[crisp marten]

The idea is rather not to transfer all those post to other channel but simply sort it as in current bug reporting

[sturdy lily]

Add a discord bot that automatically bumps posts every 10 mins simultaneously, and will only stop if post has the closed tag

Or better yet, just close (chat) finished/closed tags

[hoary pulsar]

The goal of tags is to do just this

[crisp marten]

Even if that is the case using it would still be easier to identify wrongly or not tagged auctions

Cause there are some of those

[hoary pulsar]

Thats true but ultimately there probably isnt a better way to implement this

and fully enforcing the associated trade rule would probably be a bit harsh considering what it is

[crisp marten]

I mean this rule exist for exact reason of having tags as a reliable an easy tool to use when browsing the postings

[crisp marten]

And not only for this sole reason

[crisp marten]

Factually speaking I like what was done with bug reports and I think auction needs just that

[crisp marten]

And it pretty much revived and enhanced bug reporting

[crisp marten]

Although it still lacks public spreadsheet tracking component (at least its outdated)

[hoary pulsar]

The issue is that theres too many auctions being posted for the trade mods to be able handle the sorting of them

bug reports are much less infrequent and easier to track

[crisp marten]

Autosorting?

[hoary pulsar]

Not really possible
