New Classifieds: Yay or Nay?

[proffrink]

We're coming up on a month since the new classifieds took their place on the forums. Some bugs and suggestions later, they're still not complete but are 80-90% there feature-wise.

 

One question: Should we keep the new classifieds?

 

Poll respondents with less than 5 community reputation will have their vote removed from the total. This is to stop (the admittedly slim chance) of someone creating accounts to flood the poll. The poll will close on Sunday 6th May and the result implemented by Sunday 12th May.

 

If the new classifieds are removed (a 'no' vote wins):

• New classifieds will be archived immediately and visible for 2 months (no new adverts accepted)
• The new classifieds system will be fully scrapped after those 2 months
• We return to the original classifieds sub-forum that we've been using before

 

If the new classifieds stay (a 'yes' vote wins):

• New classifieds system will stop double-posting (i.e. posting a thread in the old classifieds too) as this was merely a precautionary measure to create an 'old style' copy of adverts if we ever moved back to the old classifieds systems
• The old classifieds will stay unarchived for 2 weeks (and can still be bumped) to give people time to migrate their advertisements
• After 2 weeks, the old classifieds will be collapsed and archived (they will not show in Google results but will still be accessible through a small link at the bottom of the forums)
• A rewrite of the classifieds rules will reflect how the new classifieds works
• Tweaks in the functionality of the new classifieds will continue - there are still some things that aren't where I want them that's for sure

 

This isn't a discussion topic. Go here for providing feedback:
