For this section and this section alone, I would like to propose the following rule changes:
1. You must be a member of XDA for a period of no less than 6 months, and have contributed no less than 100 posts before being permitted to submit something here.
2. You must not resurrect an old thread ("Thread Necro'ing") that has lain dormant longer than 72 hours (3 days) as this can cause some confusion on whether or not a deal is still valid. Most deals posted within this section last 3 days or less, let's let the threads go quiet and stay quiet after they've served their purpose.
I humbly submit these minor changes in an effort to help the Member Found Deals section run a little bit smoother.

I could agree with #2, but I think #1 is pointless. I haven't seen a new member come in here and post anything useless. Why restrict them? I've seen veteran members more often then not come in here and either post stuff they're trying to sell or posting things that aren't really good deals.
I've relayed the information to our mod-team. I am also in support of your second point (not so much the first).
#2 sounds like a great idea.
#1 doesn't work. Why reward the blabber-mouths that make pointless posts and ask the same stupid questions over and over again, while penalizing those that read, use search, and don't clutter up the forums with useless drivel?
I'm glad to see that these recommendations are being discussed at least. The second one got me the other day so that's the one I really wanted to see in-place, however, I threw out the first one to try to alleviate those who're posting sales of their own items. Anyone have a way to address that fairly, any idea at all?
I agree except for #1. It seems to. restricted

yeah, as someone with under 100 posts (but still a 3+ year user) I'm not thrilled about #1. I only post when I need to. We need to encourage people to search out their issues instead of just posting to up their count.
I disagree with number 1. I think that number 2 will be helpful but what about discussions that last longer than 3 days or deals that last longer than 3 days?

A deal is a deal, I don't care who tells me about it.
I agree with number 2, what about adding that OP must add expiration date to the title when applicable, and no posting in thread after?

I don't think the expiration date is really useful cause what about talking about receiving the item and etc

The expiration date is a great idea. Would the mods agree to just come along and lock threads that are past expiration (or immediately lock those that don't have one?)
would it be ok if the OP bumps a thread if he knows the deal is still live?

Why lock it maybe the OP does not know the expiration date? People could benefit from it. maybe lock it if it is known to be done deal already.

sometimes ppl follow up on items they bought. locking the thread would stop ppl from doing so.
for example I posted a thread on cheap knock off ps3 controllers. im hoping it will work and pair with my phone. I don't have a ps3. when I receive it I was planning on letting the thread know what was the result. would that be bad?

Let people know how it went in case the same deal pops up. I think there should be an expiration date if applicable else listed as unknown/confirmed dead/confirmed alive.
#1 - I think the consensus on that is no and I agree. As said before, a deal is a deal - it doesn't matter who told me it.

For number one to stop people from posting deals I say delete op and lock thread instead. That is why they keep doing it because if locked still get deal out there and can get pm's. I also say a tally system were under thanks have "deal interactions" first is warning one tally, second temporary punishment infraction and so on.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
The expiration date is only based on last active post in the thread. If the last active poster was 72 hours ago and you're not responding to a direct question, then that should be considered necro and would be against the rule.

Please note the sticky announcement at the top of the For Sale forum. Because of this sticky, I'l close this thread as it's no longer relevant.
Hey guys and gals,
In case you haven't read the latest oneplus news, 15 more invites are going up for sale...auction, that is. I thought it would be a great idea if 15 xda members (myself included) wanted to band together to bid for an invite. Let me know who all are interested and perhaps we can get together on a G+ group to communicate. I'm attaching a link to the oneplus thread below.

Pay for the right to buy a phone? How about they just send out invites so people can buy the phone and they just donate a percentage of the sales from the first x-amount to one of the causes they listed

I know, right?...I flipped when I realized the auction was for invites. However, between 15 people, it would probably not be too much.

True but it's getting a little ridiculous for me. Lot of stuff to go through to buy a phone. If they want to help charities tack on an additional $1 to phone and donate that.
Good luck to those of you who take part in the auction though.

I understand what you're getting at, but I have little doubt this "auction for charity" will be "won" by someone who's just going to use all the invites for himself so he can buy a bunch of phones and resell them for profit.

By this, you are insisting that all of us band together to bid on 1 phone?

That won't be possible because you will be allowed to only buy one and send the other invites to other people. Unless you are going to cheat of course.
I'm interrested. Already exists some G+ group?

Of course someone will.
If you guys actually visit the page and read, you'll see that oneplus specifically says you can get a group together. It's not cheating...it's common sense lol that being said, I can understand everyone's doubt. I will create a group and link in OP today.

I did read the page. What I meant by cheating was to create dupiicate accounts and because of that being able to buy more than one phone at once. That you can create groups to get an invite is fine, you'll put your money together then entering into the auction only once.
Count me in. Whenever a G+ group is set up, would somebody be able to send me a PM or notify in one way or another. Thanks very much.

I can join since it will be for a good cause too. Let me know when the G+ group is set up. If not then I'll wait for whenever the hell they decide to sell the phone
So we have to pay for a ticket that allows us to buy the phone? That's stupid I'll pass.

Hey folks, I have reopened the other invitation thread that had been running for a while...so please go there for further discussion, thanks...

Seems like my thread got messed up and no longer exists. I had tried to send a message to a developer who was looking for an invite but XDA went down and I have lost that person.
So I am asking if any other developers (or that person if they see this) are looking for an invite.
The one I have only has 15 hours left.
Yes please!
for a 64Gb black belgium?

You're right sorry, I just wanted to improve development of the device by giving to developers.
Sorry
It's all good, was just letting you know. I've managed to bring a few devs and contributors to our device through my invite thread.

One more is about to come in. As soon as my OPO ships! lol

Yea, I looked at your thread and it seemed like you had more invites than people so I thought I would just post to see if any Dev's had skipped that thread and would comment on this.
I still have it, 4 hours left sadly.

Yeah, demand for invites has taken a serious nose dive over the last week or so. Before that it was absolute bedlam.

Simple mathematics really. It's due to the exponential growth of available invites in combination with a changing supply and demand curve.
Funny though how people are still begging for weeks and weeks on the OPO forum when here we're having trouble handing them out before they expire...
Whenever I'm having a bad moment, I just head over there, click the invites section, and instantly feel much better. :laugh:
I got a device already, but thanks for the offer
any more developers need invites?
