PSA: Thread = Closed? Don't PM the member about the product. - BottomNotch - May 15, 2019
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe most of us aren't selling the product/exchanging anymore if the thread is closed. Yet, I still get PM's about really old exchange requests that have the thread closed 😅
Thread is closed = Don't PM.
Thx.
That being said, does anyone still offer the product/exchange when their thread is closed? I don't see how certain members are getting these bad habits.

Mainly only have a problem with this when it comes to exchange threads and threads that are 4 years old.
Like if I closed the thread for x product in 2014 why would I still have some in stock?

That is just absurd.
Are these new members or they been here a while?

Mostly members who aren't upgraded (18-19) and L33T (17-19). Hardly ever have older members commit this sin.
What sucks is that every thread (personally) normally gets 2-4 PM's DAYS-WEEKS after the thread was closed.

I guess maybe before closing your thread, add something to the title like "[CLOSED]". Or add it to the ones you're still receiving PMs on.

As you can't wipe thread content, just before the original text, add something like 'NO LONGER SELLING' in bold red letters. There will be still some members PMing you but you'll keep the numbers down.

I'll probably start doing this 🤦♂ It was so obvious. Thanks for the suggestion guys 🎉

These are probably users that are desperate to find someone to get their dirty paypal funds. They probably saw that the thread is closed, but thought to try anyway.

Users do be looking for a way to scheme or look for something outdated.
