Marketplace forum is filled with "Moved" (Sold) items

I'm not sure if it's just my browser/computer, but the marketplace is full of items that have been previously moved by a Moderator. See linked image:

It isn't just you; the forum is jumbled. I'd suspect either a mod made some kind of error (as it appears many threads were being moved tonight) or the new server hardware isn't cooperating.

They have been marked as sold and probably have a redirect on them, they should disappear in a couple of hours. People have been lax in not closing their own threads.

I took a look at the threads and 90% of them didn't have expiring redirects on them. The 10% that did had expiring redirects were set to a month later. Since there wasn't an option for me to immediately expire the threads, I manually went to each thread and set a 1 hour expire. After that, they should all disappear from the main sale forum and only be seen in the "sold" forum.

A note to mods : If you move a thread in the sale forum, I think it's best to choose the "Leave no redirect" option since leaving a redirect tends to clutter it up

I am shifting all the sold items to go to sold section.

Toshi, I left some threads with "redirect a month" in case you guys want to "re-moderate" these particular ones.

It is better to move some of the sold items to the sold section. Otherwise, the browsing experience is basicly reviewing sold items.

Mods, please don't manually move any threads or mark them as sold- either use the "Mark as sold" feature (if available), or contact the member who posted the thread.

Also, redirects can be removed- see the "remove redirects" option in the thread tools.

I will be waiting for that feature to be implemented and perhaps leaving this marketplace moderation to more capable ones.

noticed that a lot of people are selling things and taking the time to say "item sold" instead of marking it as sold

I will add a notice to the marketplace forum later today to remind sellers. Thanks
