OT: Suggestions for BST thread title prefixes
Since we're at the dawn of a new era and can now post our own individual threds, I think it would help everyone if we use standard prefixes for thread titles. That way people can tell at a glance what the thread contains without having to open the thread.
Certainly not mandatory, but a courtesy to readers.
FSH: - For Sale Here
FSHO: - For Sale Here Only (not being offered elsewhere, e.g., eBay, Coinzip, Coinwants, your own web site)
WTB: - Want to Buy
WTT: - Want to Trade
WTTF: - Want to Trade For
eBay: - For auction/sale on eBay
OT: - Off Topic (for threads like this one )
*SOLD* - Once an item(s) is gone so that people know the thread is defunct.
Any others you can think of?
EDIT: Added *SOLD* to the list.

Perhaps we should get SM1 to post an announcement of the change in the old BST, for any curious lightsiders or others who may not have noticed yet. I'll shoot him a PM.
And we should take pride - we've already outperformed the Stamp BST in half a day
1. One active buy and sell thread at a time (active being first or second page).
2. Bumps no more frequent than once a day.
Exceptions made depending on:
1. How saturated an existing thread gets, or
2. If an item sells.
The latter being since we cannot delete threads, a person shouldn't be held hostage by the fact that their item(s) sold.
I think that as long as we operate in an adult manner, there is some flexibility. Just keep in mind that if someone abuses things, they may ruin it for everyone...
<< <i>Not about the title but should we have a gentleperson's agreement that each member will have only one FSH and one WTB at a time. You can always edit the existing tread to add items. What do you think? >>
Sounds like a winning idea to me.
