WHAT CHANGES WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE ON EBAY DISCUSSION BOARDS - Ina Steiner

"eBay is revamping its community area including the discussion boards. The change comes as eBay transitions away from using LiveWorld to moderate its boards. As we report in Monday's news story, eBay was not ready to provide more details when we broke the story last month. Who will moderate the boards - will it be brought in-house, or will eBay outsource it to another company? We'll have to wait to find out.

But we do know eBay is revamping the boards. Certain features will remain the same, but the design will change."

One change that is puzzling is how eBay will designate an employee's post. In the past, moderators' posts were always shown with a pink box - with the new design, posts from eBay employees will be identified by a blue box surrounding the post. Users had always referred to eBay forum moderators as "pinks" - so changing the color seems an odd decision.

Users have already expressed concern over what the change in moderation will mean for the user experience, so hearing that eBay will revamp the community area will likely cause more concern. On a positive note, eBay will move all previous posts to the updated forums.

What do you think of these changes, described here:

and what would you change on the eBay discussion boards if you could, and why?

ME hawk! Have you forgotten the good old days? 

First off I have no issue with you and didnt intend to make it personal

But as you have directed that post towards me, I did say QUOTE "I have heard of people that have continued to come back with fake IDs over and over getting total bans or threat of it happening"

In your case it wasn't a fake ID it was your husbands ID

Now you can thank Joono for dragging me into this.

Morning Cue,

it was called Community Next Generation Board &  was supposedly a board where you could ask the mods a question.  They dId answer some questions, but not all. anyway I just noticed that it's completely disappeared.

AM3:Yes, some complain others are trying to tell them what they can and cant post.

Then  we get someone counting posts......and targetting one person.

There are no limits on the number of posts one can make in a day/week/month/year.

There are no rules that limit the number of posts you make one after the other.

Get it?

are you telling people that they can't post about post numbers ?
