• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Evidence I think that ads aren't reviewed by humans it's just software algorythms.

I posted an ad on marketplace listing a few old NUFC programs (80s / 90s), these are complete with the relevant tickets including box seats and are relatively uncommon and collectable. Champions League, FA cup etc.
It was up for a few days then removed as it "contravenes policy on tickets". 2 requests to review have fallen on deaf ears so I've had to write it again removing any reference to tickets. They are spent and 40 years old FFS :ROFLMAO: Dozy gits especially when you look at the huge number of fake and fraudulent ads, cars and motorhomes especially, they allow through.
 
Good job you didn't list that witch doctor's twelve inch pianist..
 
To be honest it's just as likely that it was a human, but that human isn't allowed to apply any sort of common sense in interpreting the policy. It just says "sporting event tickets" aren't allowed, and says nothing about whether the event is in the future or the past, and they're only allowed to follow the letter of the rule.

It's quite likely that the people doing this are being paid poverty wages in south-east Asia, have performance targets that expect them to decide each case in ten seconds, and get disciplined for departing from the letter of their instructions. Common sense isn't included because Facebook isn't willing to pay for it.
 
Yeah that makes sense and no problem for me really though it was annoying I couldn't just edit the ad and had to start over. The ads are free so it's a bit stupid to complain about it. :)
What I do find irritating are the fraudulent auto ads I mentioned. There are hundreds where a vehicle photo has been copied from wherever and posted at stupid low price and if you click on the "seller" they're listing dozens of them. Overseas I'd guess as they can't spell, say petrol when they're diesel and many worse obvious errors but they must catch people out I suppose getting personal details or even deposits. I've reported them many times and they're never removed.
