Opinions Please: Daily proliferation, several dealer/distributor ads,..


Good Day...I'm not looking to start a war, nor am I asking this question to cast any negative comments on one or more manufacturers and distributors/dealers that look to use Audiogon ads EVERY day or at least weekly to post a long stream of the same ads over and over again on new equipment be it Tube, Solid State or Cabling as if it were their own personal bulletin board. There are several that do this on a daily and weekly basis.  It makes it difficult to go through the "new today" and "new yesterday" auctions, classifieds, etc..and figure out what regular members and others who post one-at-a-time postings have put up that day.  

I think it would be sensible for Audiogon to consider putting up a separate "Dealer/Manucturer" Sell Forum right here on the same site that would allow them to conduct their business while keeping regular member/others' ads which we also pay money for, in a place where these ads stand a chance of showing up earlier in the list, not one page or more down after the repeating dealer, distributor and manufacturer ads are done.

The firms in question are all fine members of the forum and provide good products; I think that Audiogon should consider setting up a page for them and give regular members listings a better chance of being easily seen.

Thoughts?

agree with the separation ides...I find I spend less time looking at ads now that there are so many new/dealer ads...

I think it's a good idea to have a separate category for personal ads. Otherwise, people will stop posting here and find another site like usaudiomart. That site is getting lots of new ads every day.

All the best,

Thank you all for the feedback...I'm going to forward the thread to Support and see if they will consider it.

Viridian: I don't have a "severed weight problem" but do appreciate the consideration :-)  Just for the record, this website can choose to cater more to dealers and better support dealer showcase functionality HOWEVER, anyone well-versed in user interface usability will tell you that you can easily accommodate both types of patrons, all of whom pay ever-increasing fees by having appropriate separation of the way in which you interact with the site.
