|
| BrickLink should setup a system where a seller would need to have a credit card
to sell on BL, and BL charges the seller a small amount (say $5) to setup the
store, and activate it, and verify the seller's information that is on BL against
the credit card.
The $5 would offset any costs associated with checking names/addresses. Once
BL has a card # and a charge on it, they can verify the name and address to the
card, and they know that they are dealing with a real person, at a real address.
Or, maybe make this an option, and have a store icon that shows that the seller
is verified.
Or, perhaps make this a requirement only if the seller wishes to sell high value
products, or lots of items valued at a high value.
I would gladly do this for my store, to show that I'm legit and serious about
selling.

Resistance is futile.

| Would be nice to have the ability to make one or more wanted lists "public" so
that if a link was provided to the list other folks could see the list. This
would work similar to Amazon.com wish list in that others can see but not edit
the list.
In my mind, this would be a check box on the wanted list settings (and creation)
screen. Default would be unchecked (meaning private).
[X] Public List
It would be useful in facilitating purchases for gifts (like little Tommy wants
a bunch of batman minifigs so he adds it to his wish list so grandma can buy
one for him by viewing his list), and for facilitating trading because people
can see what the seller would like as payment for the trade items.
Everything else about the wanted list would work the same as it does now - except
that if viewing by someone other then the owner there would be no editing fields
available.

Re: I am falling off the list -- here's why - legoman77
A forum where you cannot be banned. You can speak your mind, argue like an idiot,
mock people, attack people at will, be a jerk, be a jack wagon, or whatever else
you wish.
THIS WOULD BE AN OPT IN ONLY with an adult warning on it!
Think it would be fun.
This forum would NOT be listed on the forum post stats! And it would be a no
man's land for banned and unbanned people alike.
If it gets out of hand NO SUPPORT AT ALL BY MODS/ADMIN/G-D.
Since it would be an opt in ONLY, just do not go there if you do not wish to
be offended!
Great idea.
I would like to see it called THE WILD, WILD FORUM (with a cowboy and Indian
as the icon's for it).

| I propose that the Forum rules that outlaw discussion of Religion or Politics
should be lifted in times of
"Extreme discourse".
We could have a pre-set background colour change as the discourse becomes more
extreme.
The Green background could turn to Yellow if discussions are ongoing about items
for sale --
Chrome bricks, custom parts etc.
The background would then turn to RED if discussions are ongoing about individuals
and ethics/morality.
When the Yellow background is up - members would be encouraged to post OFF TOPIC
items, jokes, links to cute videos etc.
When the RED background is up - free for all -- anything to change the subject
-- Dirty Jokes, links to "other" videos, Religion and Politics discussion --
EVEN posts to e-bay LINKS selling LEGO instead of just posting all the info necessary
to see it without a simple one click solution !!!!

| Obvious typo: http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?sID=105097&itemID=15921285
Nobody intends to sell this for $33 EURO a piece:
My solution shown here. Hey new Admins, please consider adding this feature.
See my photoshopped red text in the image. This would be awesome.
(and personally, I'd love to know when my items are 25% or more below
average, too)
Thank you,
Todd

| My suggestion: stop purging data.
It's the 21st century, mass storage is cheap.
There's no at all reason to purge data ever.

| Are suggestions still worth making. I ask as none have been implemented since
September.
Without sounding rude..... the reasons are known to all of us why, but no suggestions
have been implemented since September so is the new Admin going to do them or
is Bricklink now running as good as it is ever going to run with no more implemented
suggestions?

| The responses to this got me thinking:
http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=498526
Would committees be a good thing for BL?
I suggest a committee of 3 people for Listing violations: Have the problem reports
sent to 3 members (maybe even conceal the store/user name) and let them vote.
2 votes and the listing gets removed.
I'm sure we would be able to find members for a committee of 3 or maybe 5 very
quickly and that decisions on listings would be decided very quickly.
Obviously Admin and/or the CO would be able to appoint/remove those committee
members and Admin and maybe the CO would also be able to overrule them.
Mike.

|
| Ok, I have two different ideas to solve the problems with wanted lists timing
out. Here is solution one, solution two will follow shortly, please just vote
on the one you think might be the best way to address this.
So, when a seller uploads a large number of lots, and then attempts to notify,
the system can time-out due to too many emails being sent. When a seller tries
to send the notifications, a certain number are sent, and then the system stops
them from being sent. If the seller tries again, the same number of notifications
are sent, and then the system stops them at about the same point. This appears
to the buyers that have received multible emails from said seller, that the seller
is trying to spam them, when in fact they are just trying to send out notifications
once. Here is the real problem, this seller can no longer send out correct notifications,
because the original notifications remain in the system as "unsent". If they
add more lots, and try again, it repeats the cycle shown above, sending the same
people notifications.
Please allow sellers to "clear notifications", so that if they have too many
lots to notify, they can start over, and continue to add notifications at a later
date, only for new lots.
Again, please check my other suggestion, and vote on the best idea to solve the
problem.
Thanks so much,
Darren

Please add a "reccommended maximum lot addition" that will fall within the limitations
of the Bricklink system, to the help section on mass uploads. This would require
the help of some sellers, perhaps keeping track of some uploads, and notifications.
the info could be used to come up with a realistic number of lots that most likely
would not time out.
Again, please check my other suggestion, and vote on the best idea to solve the
problem.
