Sometimes people may mention the word by way of comparison even thought the ad is for another item.

in the first post, yes..and other keywords I have the system set up to filter.

if people start trying to get around the wolfman closure (I saw someone use WM instead of wolfman a few days back), we'll keep adjusting it accordingly.

we were very serious when we said we have better things to do with our time than moderate wolfman bst threads.

I guess what Im asking is...If someone titles their ad "Gillette Tech for sale" and in the body of the first post says:
"its not as smooth as a wolfman wr2 but it comes close"...will that thread get auto locked?

Yes, it happened to me with my Carbon Cx ad.

That seems too broad. Can you consider only restricting WTS and WTT posts with Wolfman in the title, as opposed to the post itself? That might let a few slip through when members are selling a bunch of things, but that should minimize the need for moderation without impacting those that only mention Wolfman as a reference point.

nope, sorry. if someone has a question, they can PM the user. further, if someone doesn't want their entire thread to get automatically closed if they're selling several different, non-wolfman items, put the wolfman stuff in its own thread.

as I said, if you've seen the number of times we've had to step in and moderate wolfman threads, you'd understand why we did what we did.

So now that the new policy has been exploited, what's the next step? Might as well lock all BST comments right? Quite a silly situation.

Why are you so upset? And yes, I locked my own thread because I don't like dealing with rude people.

What makes you think I'm upset? It's a fact that you've exploited the new Wolfman policy, so I thought I'd ask.

Funny to me that you think other people are rude when you're purposefully misusing the site.
