I need to request some threads created for my local town forum, which is CleburneForums.com

 

I'm new to this so I'm not entirely sure how to go about it. After reading this, if you have any suggestions for me, I would be glad to hear them. I think it's best if I create a list:

 

1. I want it to look as though there are new members signing up, so I think you should make 1 full page of threads in the "Welcome new members!" forum. Along with a few replies to each new member, welcoming them to the forum. Although I am not sure how many threads will have to be created, in order to fill in that first page. I don't know what the default setting is, so let's just have you stop at 22 threads, each posted by a different member.

 

2. There is a forum which is not visible to regular members, and I would like you to post nothing inside. It's "Local business advertising".

 

3. Please add content to the "Buy, Sell, and Trade" forum. Where the members you create will appear to post ads selling things. Other members you create should post replies to the ads, asking a question about the item. Or perhaps saying "DM sent!", so as to imply that the item was sold. And of course, after a "DM Sent" reply has been made, the "OP" who posted the ad can reply "SOLD" so that it looks as though the item as posted, and then sold. I would like for you to create 18 threads in this forum.

 

4. Please add content to the "Wanted" forum, where want ads are posted by members, and are fulfilled by other members. Only some of the wanted ads you create should have a reply. Many wanted ads are unfulfilled on most forums, so I don't want it to look like every single wanted ad was filled. There can be the usual "DM sent" replies, as well as questions about the items, and replies to those questions by the "OP" of the want ad thread. I would like you to create 16 threads in this forum.

 

5. There is another forum that I would like for you to avoid, and post nothing inside. It's the "Garage sales" forum.

 

6. The rest of the forums I believe are self explanatory, and I would like for you to use any remaining threads and replies (that are left after completing my previous instructions) to fill in these remaining forums with threads and replies to those threads. Although I must admit that I'm not sure what lengths you guys go to. For instance, in the forum "Current Events and News from Cleburne", would you simply google some current events in Cleburne Texas and then create a thread about it? The same goes for my "Local Politics" sub forum and the "CISD" (cleburne independent school district) sub forum. I do need content added to those, but I don't have any idea on how to instruct you. So I will have to leave the rest of the forums to your professional opinion.

 

I can't think of anything else, thank you!

Just as a recommendation, maybe some guidelines could be created for people who are going to create threads. The one I'm thinking of would be,

 

Don't spam threads in one sub-forum, as most forums would not allow this behavior.

 

Since forums won't allow you do to this, it looks like created content. For me the latest instance of this was in the Food of Cleburne sub-forum. It has to look as real as possible, and spam will have the opposite effect. It will drive people away if they think the forum is a fake, so doing this is counter productive. I had no choice but to delete two of the threads because my forum is intended to be a for profit business and when I begin advertising, I can not have new members thinking the forum is staged or is otherwise a fake. It wouldn't be a problem if it were just one person using different user names. But the same easily recognizable (no avatar) username posting 5 threads in a row (talking about food) is not normal user behavior and looks suspicious.

 

Thank you

I'm almost done. Just 15 posts left and I don't want to do all at once. I'll probably finish up tomorrow.
I have completed mine.

We estimate your package to be completed by March 13, 2025.

 

I have updated this post with accurate totals/counts.

 

The remaining content to be delivered on this order is 8 threads and 48 posts. I will be responsible for completing my existing parts of this order (3 threads & 18 posts), but it would be ideal if a [uSERGROUP=6]@Content Team[/uSERGROUP] or other staff member can take the final spot at the bottom of this post to help get this order completed.

 

Thanks!

Does anyone know if there is an addon which will change the thread order? I need to be able to move threads around, so that it doesn't appear that one member spammed 4 or 5 threads in a row, in the same sub-forum. So if anyone knows how to move threads up and down in the list, it would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thank you

I believe Ozzy has a bump thread add on. I’ll come back with a link later today.

This is the reason why I myself always attempt to spread my posts out as much as possible. I'll never make more than 2-3 posts without waiting for other people to post too, as I feel that just makes the content look more natural. I just hope you realise and appreciate that my own lack of timekeeping on this particular order is not out of laziness, but out of wanting to ensure the best and most natural looking content is delivered. To that end, I hope to finish up my small remaining part of this order over the next couple of nights, and hope this is OK with you. I know you've waited a long time for completion of this order already. :)

 

In regards to a plugin or add-on that changes the thread posting date, which from your description is what I think you're after, I'm not aware of a plugin for XenForo that does this. There are plugins offering this functionality on MyBB and phpBB softwares though. If there is not an add-on for this, which I suspect as I'm sure Cedric would be aware, the alternative is to manually edit the posttime field in the database. I can provide more instructions on how to do this via PM, if you need them. Feel free to reach out.

 

EDIT: There are two XenForo plugins I have found that provide this functionality. Unsure if either of them are up-to-date or compatible with your version of XF, as I'm not very well versed in XF myself, but here:

This feels like a natural place for me to end this order - I am 3 posts and 2 threads short of the total amount, however I cannot find a place to post that would feel natural and I don't want to make posts for the sake of posting that may not seem genuine.

 

In recognition of the fact this order took longer than we would have expected and that we had a few problems along the way, I have applied a slightly cheaper price to the package that we would ordinarily charge. The deduction for this package will be 4,000 Credits.

 

Thanks!
