sticky threads

soolin

We have a number of sticky threads and I wondered if we needed to unpin any of them and replace them at all? Sticky threads should really cover the important things on the board, including rules .

So for instance we have the spoof email thread:

which I am not sure serves any purpose as most of us can spot a spoof at a mile away, whilst people who do fall for them don't read the thread anyway as it is not particularly current.

The HMRC one is possibly out of date, but I would need to ask the team about removing that one:

has anyone got a view about the car boot sale one, does it serve a purpose any more or should we start a fresh one with new places when the next summer season starts?

the forum rule one must stay as it is an MSE one:

I think the postage one is useful as threads often refer people to it:

This one is useful but very out of date and needs some real work and perhaps the addition of a big warning about the paypal on collection issue?

I would also propsoe sticking the expanded seller dashboard thread , or at least putting it in any revised ebay FAQ thread with a link to the thread.

any thoughts?

I think the seller dashboard one needs to stay, but I think someone needs to write something that is a good 'dos and don'ts' for maintaining customer satisfaction (there are people who can write good neutral posts better than I can), and not allow it to get out of hand where (banned) sellers are simply complaining about eBay/their buyers/Paypal being unfair. This makes it less like an autopsy and more like a genuine attempt to help some failing sellers.

Of the above, I'd say the spoof email thread could go and replacing the car boot sale sticky is a good idea. Could the HMRC thread be replaced with a thread about business registration in general?

Thank Crowqueen, keep the idea coming and as long as Forum Team are happy I'll make some adjustments.

Sounds like a plan!
