Hello Grumpy
We are talking about that.I just noticed AK has a Marketplace hole just for this.
Those not interested just don't enter. Posts of that kind show up elsewhere? reported and moderator-moved there (as a suggestion).

"I could be arguing in my spare time"
I hear ya. Hang out for awhile, and watch where these threads go and how
the 'newbie' stories turn out. Your opinion may change ... or not.
Didn't we just do this?

Can a "bot" be setup to monitor people with 10 or less posts looking for trigger words such as how much,value,worth etc?
If so then perhaps the bot could then refer those inquirys to the How much is it worth sticky-which I could then ignore.

I don't think the software is that flexible... but you hit near the core of our discussion... how to monitor without spending even more man hours moderating.
Also, if/when we make any changes, I'd like to see changes that reduce other Market Place issues that have popped up from time to time.

Hey, Oldmics...
I guess we just need ya'lls help to make us bots more effective. Best way is to Report a Post - that escalates it right to our attention. Otherwise, based upon the private bot-chat we've had on this the past week, we will be spending more time in Marketplace...
I think we should have Chat Auction Bidding Room on JBL and Altec speakers.
I"m certainlly NO software creation expert but it seems that it would be relitivly simply to use the portion of existing software that automatically counts our posting numbers and mingle it with some keyword triggered software.
Counts of less than 10 posts (20 or whatever amount deemed corrrect) then automatically get monitored and searched for triggered keywords such as ,worth,value,how much,etc.
This would be the wildcard as the keywords would have to go developement to catch all of the creative posters "How Much" wording issues.
Then the program could redirect the posters question to the "How Much Is It Worth" sticky.Then participants could choose to be active or ignore.
I think the real problem would be if existing software can effectivly allow such a change.
As I said,NOT a software engineer here.
I believe this could be a precident setting situation as other sites definatly suffer from the same issues.

Seems simple, but here are some normal questions that would get bounced:
"How much power do I need to drive my L250's?"
"How much glue should I use on my new Rick Cobb surrounds?"
"How much better is the L250 than the 250ti?"
And some others we might also miss :
"How much would I have to pay someone here to take a free pair of very tall triangular teakwood JBL speakers from my parents' house?"
"Is it worth anyone's while to help me move a huge JBL cabinet with an arched front from my parents' house? I know you value your time so I'd be happy to let you have the three sections and the speakers inside them for free if you help me move them."
"I value the assistance I've gotten on this site. It's been worth a lot to me. I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed the site and I'd like to leave you my estate in my will but I can't seem to get my post to show up to ask how to make such a bequest."

I think oldmics should be put in charge of monitoring all members with less than 10 posts. He could keep an eye on those pesky newbies who have only come here to get valuations.
OK, JBL'ers...
I've received some pm's, so I've modified this beleaguered thread - the Poll has been removed.
So please just post your views and ideas.
Oddly, this has surfaced as a real point of discussion.
So that my views are known:
- in the Poll, I voted "NO".
- However, in private discussions on this with the mod's, I urged we just ignore all these type posts. I had never paid any attention to them, either as a nuisance or a help.
I was doing just that, until yesterday when I tried to what I thought was the new "right thing" (which, duh, was the wrong thing and I did it poorly) - and, it bent a few things.
So, here we go, back were you were. If you care, post your cares. We will try and coordinate our actions better.
Thanks.
