This needs to be addressed in the MarketPlace and probably made into a rule. There should be a time limit on how long your posting can stay active. If there is no activity from the user themselves on their listing for more than 120 hours, then that listing should be remove. This would help with all the clutter of listing that are being bumped up to the page 1, with no actual activity from OP since over 14+ days. If a user will be out of town, then it should be noted on post 1 for that listing.

Recently several threads on a certain type of gun have been censored. Now I can understand you might want to censor some threads some of the time for specific reason. This is a gun forum, and talking about guns and the legal aspects surrounding those guns is an essential part of the discussion.
I think you could improve by letting people know what the issue is, are you being forced to censor, or are you censoring because the subject was uncomfortable in some way. Instead of silently censoring threads, just let people know what the issues are. Publish cease and desist requests for example. If you want specifics on the thread ping me privately, I don't want this thread getting censored. |

I second abinsinia’s comment. How about a little transparency here? Sure, it’s your forum and you can do what you want with it, but this is a forum dedicated to discussions about gun rights in California. Why are you censoring discussion about a gun made specifically for California? What is this, communist China? You may have a good reason which is fine, but the members of the forum deserve to know why.

I was asked directly by the party involved's legal counsel to remove those threads for the time being. I wasn't told why and didn't ask, I'm not the client, however our long history with this law office and their history of successes means I trust they have a good reason. Calguns is read by DoJ and others and we do not want to be responsible for causing things to go awry.

So anything related to certain types of firearms will be censored, even if this legal council or client is/are not involved ? If you name the firearm in question then you also get censored? Are the original threads coming back or gone forever ? |

You seem angry .. I am not trying to anger anyone, I just want guidance on what will an won't get censored.
I'm assuming from what you have said that anyone who mentions anything related to the mystery topic will get censored. |

Unless you really overdo it, the worst you will get is a deleted thread and a temp. ban. Proposing illegal acts such as booby-trapping your home will get deleted quickly enough, just be cautious in your wording. There are no First Amendment rights here. Be excellent to each other. Party on dudes.

If you're on a discussion forum with a decent for sale section, thread crapping will get you banned, for a bit or for a while. I'd count decent forums on ar15.com, the FAL Files, and Calguns, to a degree. Put yourself in the seller's place...you see more than a few comments noting that the gun sucks, is the wrong color, is too much money, you name it. How do you feel? Far better to stfu. Here's arfcom's policy on thread craping... "Absolutely no stomping on other peoples' posts! Do not remark in any way that would negatively impact the sale of someone's merchandise. Do not post comments, opinions or make low-ball offers in threads. This can result in your account being locked for 72 hours."

I like arfcom's rule on that... "Do not delete ad text, including prices, or subject lines. Doing so may result in a temporary suspension from the site. Leaving the subject lines and prices intact allows others to search items out and gauge current market value." Seems reasonable and logical to me.

Some bits of this installation are custom, and would have to be redone - if that's even possible. Itrader seems not to have been ported up, at least in a way that preserves history. It's a legacy system here, and choices on what pain and how much can be tolerated in changing versions or even the whole software used are difficult. Kestryll has a thread on the issue someplace ... ah, here - http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/s....php?t=1440092 from April of 2018

Beware of Buyer/Seller Stickies.
Is it possible to combine them into the same one across the sections of the Marketplace? Maybe a link in the stickies to a master list?

I'd be nice to have an option to hide repeat images. When someone quotes a quote with images, they show up again in full size (unless they edit the quote ofc). Sometimes very few posts take up so much real estate all because people are quoting other who used images.

My comment here, as a lawyer for almost half a century, is that transparency is key. And, if the reason for an action is sound you do not fear exposure of the reasoning. So, unless games are being played (which may be OK if you are in a fray where other games are being played) disclosure of the issues at play would be helpful. |

I was wondering if it would be possible to have a separate thread for legal updates rather than combining them with discussions. Some of us just want to be able to quickly find updates to the many legal cases and challenges before the courts.
While there is also certainly a need for discussion, it becomes tedious to scroll through pages of the same five members constant arguments with each other to try and find updates to the cases. Member Paladin does an excellent job (along with a few others) of letting those of us less in the know, and less experienced in these matters, of filling people in, and does it simply and concisely, focusing on information. Thanks for reading and considering the suggestion. |

Can off roster handgun sales have its own forum? There seems to be tons of them in the for sale-handgun forum indicating that they have become more commonplace. I think it would cleanup the for sale-handgun forum, help gauge scarcity, and make it easier to browse overall.
Thank you |

Can we mandate English, instead of "textspeak" in the Marketplace?
I click on a for sale thread where "Aimpoint (for example)" pops up, and there's a string of consonant-laden gibberish, that makes no sense whatsoever.

Under California 2nd Amendment political discussion I get this error message:
Error 500: Internal Server Error The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request. The problem is on the server side, not with your browser or the address. Most probably, a certain service (e.g., Tomcat engine) is down. Please contact your webmaster. |

Only if you are sending them to Dems. (JK)
Maybe ask this question in the Technology forum, sound like a glitch. After that, I suggest sending a PM to Kestryll. (Be a bit patient, he has been busy using the hammer.) Good luck.

ETA 5-31 that member reports clearing cache in his browser fixed the problem.

I love the calguns community. Been around a while and have only ever had trouble with a few people.
I mostly only frequent the marketplace forums these days, but here are a few things I think would be beneficial. I'd like to be able to privately mark/rate other members so I can keep track of who's trusted versus who seems sketchy, rude, or flaky. I'd really like to have a 'don't show me this thread again' option. That way we don't have to scroll through page after page, re-reading all the old titles that are too far away, or are for things I'm just not interested in, or are being overvalued. I think this option would be helpful in all forums. Who wants to see the same post for months, if they are never going to be a part of it..? Also would like to have all marketplace threads for members have to be approved by mods each time they FIRST post an ad in each respective sub forum. I'm so tired of people not putting location in their title, much less not having it posted in the body of the OP. Some don't list a price, we still have a lot of wtb ads being posted in sales forums, titles with "amp;" or whatever 10 times in a row because they tried to use the &, &, & they don't have a clue why it's not working...

General EDC Discussion area (suggestion)
Just a suggestion...
Maybe it's somewhere and I'm just overlooking it on the site, but if not.... It would be nice if under the General Discussion area there were EDC specific general and sub-areas for example: General EDC Discussion (and under that, the following): EDC Pocket Knives Discussion EDC Flashlights Discussion EDC Pen Discussion EDC Key Organizers Discussion EDC Organizers Discussion EDC Wallets Discusion EDC Notepads Discussion etc. or combine some like, EDC Pen / Notepad Discussion or EDC Keys & Wallet Discussions. There are quite a few EDC threads spread out all over the site that can probably be combined into an EDC area. Just my $0.02 cents.
