outboxes and away members

Post by alienated_one »

I have a few people that I have had successful trades with, that have never logged in after the trade was complete. So, their message for Good Trader Reference is sitting in my outbox. I tend to use the Outbox as a way to track whats been picked up by various people and whatnot, and its kind of annoying that these messages are still there.

Any ideas on how long you should let a Good Trader notification message sit in your outbox before it can be deleted and not be considered rude?

Any help would be appreciated.

If you don't have your Location listed in your User Control Panel, why not take a second and update it? It will let your trading partners know where you are from the beginning.

There really is no reason to delete it.
It will sit there until they open it or until you amass more than 600 messages waiting to be picked up, at which time the older ones should start dropping off. LOL
If you amass more than 600 unread SENT messages, however... that might be its' own problem. LOL

If it's just a notice that you left a ref, you can delete it if you want, though. It won't change the ref you left.

Lower rating? You ship first.

Want my help with a BTR or backout? All messages sent/posted should be in CHRONOLOGICAL order. Otherwise, I just won't read it.
