Hey everyone,

First off, Thank you to all the supporters who recently signed up, your support goes to directly funding these modifications and upgrades. We continue to grow faster, recently reaching a milestone of 37,000 users! We were just at 35k in February. We're growing almost 2x as fast as we used to.

Support the site by buying from https://2agear.com - If you're local, purchasing online and picking up at the store helps the site. DM me if you need anything.

It's not much now, but we're working on it too!

We've rolled out a new privacy feature for sold classifieds listings across the site. Many of you have been wanting something like this.

What changed?​


When a classified ad is marked as Sold, the seller's username, verification badges, and feedback scores are now automatically blurred out and cannot be clicked.

This applies across all classifieds views:
  • Search results
  • List view
  • Individual listing pages

Why?​

Once a transaction is complete and a listing is marked sold, the seller's identity will no longer be fully visible to the general members. This helps protect our members' privacy — especially since sold listings stay indexed after the deal is done.

Please do not remove the Title or Price so that people can still see the condition, item, and price for price discovery.

This does not apply to Closed

Who can still see it?​


Moderators and admins can still view all seller information on sold listings as usual. This is strictly a privacy measure for the general membership and guests can't search at all or view feedback.

Does this affect active listings?​


No. If your listing is still open, everything displays normally. The blur only kicks in once the listing status changes to Sold.

If you have any questions or notice anything weird, drop a reply below or shoot us a message. We're always looking to improve the marketplace experience for everyone.

If you like what we do here, please consider an account upgrade. There's badges and perks available with it, plus it lets others know you're the real deal.

Thank you for supporting CAguns.net.

Great idea. One other little thing I just noticed though is that if you’re looking at a Sold listing, the user’s info is blurred in the listing itself, but if the user has other active listings, you still see “More from (username)” if you scroll down below.
Its the same with comments and offer and counteroffer feature.

Honestly, I think the comments, discussions and public offer feature should be removed all together. I would prefer if somebody had comments, questions or offers to make them in private via direct message.

If you're a subscriber, you can lock them... And soon enough, lock emoji's

They should be removed from all ads. All of that stuff should be done privately in direct messages for everyone. I don't care if someone wants to leave an emoji on my ad.

Also, it would make the whole privacy for sold listings work better.

You can upgrade and turn it off... Less than one coffee a month.

Plenty of people believe otherwise and like the comments. There's options for everyone. You have feedback, so I see you've benefitted.

I think you can see i put a lot of effort into this place...
 
But functioning correctly, this is what people want. Thank you!

(Also, I'd like to be able to hide old feedback ad links, because right now I can still use that to tie your username to every ad you've bought/sold, blurred or not.)

Why doesn't this apply to closed ads?
There is a distinction between them. It might be applied but I’m working with sold first. You might have seen the report of how wanted got accidentally tagged. It’s not very straight forward and I’m developing as we go.

For now, the focus is on the Feedback system and the logistics behind that to make it cleaner. Feedback and Reviews/FFL’s. The closed portion can come later but the other two is a higher priority to get right. By bringing more FFL’s onto the system with a growing number of users, I’m hoping prices will go down once FFL’s have more access to people at least on the service side.
 
It's been on my mind, but the good thing about seeing it is you can tell from the feedback how reliable they are. Plus, in the future, they'll just be titles we're going to end up deleting the listing as the site gets more popular to keep things lean and also as a policy. This site is not the main portion, the businesses and community and discussion is the part where we want to keep the interesting things.

I'll tell you what though, it's not off the table. It may only be open to subscribers and blurred for everyone else because usually the people that pay are the ones that you want to know you sold quality things, but you also have volume. So it has its benefits, I think as long as we gate certain things it maintains peoples privacy.

Like said earlier, no one outside can search or view feedback. So its limited to people inside and the people that have badges are usually easier buys/sells.
That’s a great point, forgot you need an account to view detailed postings. The membership perk is good to weed out scammers and give paid members privacy, huge value. Thanks

I didn’t know this site is associated with 29OG. I just stopped by there yesterday!! I live 10 mins from it.
 
@ikeo1 question, if you didn't mind. Are we able to adjust or delete the information in details of a sold item's listing as long as we keep the title and description + price?

If you have multiple keep the title model and the price. Description is not necessary.

They will be removed later once we get our automation going.
