    I suggest that the admins create a new POSTING SOON prefix (blue is a nice colour).
    · This prefix can only be activated by the admins.
    · This prefix would be used between the the time the GROUP BUY has been completed and posted: DONE    .
    · It can also be used when a tutorial has been purchased by the admins but not yet uploaded.
    · A new rule stating that a tutorial can not be uploaded once this prefix has been activated.

    Thoughts @h1ghm1nd ,@george ?

    Thank you for the suggestion.
    The Soon prefix is now live (available to everyone now).

    Time ago if someone reserved a spot with an own thread (was a kind of "Soon") I can remember there was a fixed period for upload it, otherwise if some other member had had the same material, he could not have shared it for likes...and also to avoid incomplete/false promises.
    So, I think it should be put a time on "Soon" to avoid misunderstandings.

    The soon prefix can be used by everyone now.
    It is good to prevent double purchases. It can be set for maximum 1 week.

    Just to understand better...if there's a Request thread (done by any member) then Mod/Admin can put "Soon" because the Request is accepted and fulfilled by "p-v.club".......Is it right?

    However I still think it would be better to set a period (weeks or months) because what does it happen if another member has already the "Request" ? Can it be shared by him regardless of "Soon" ??

    Thanks.

    My point is...if "Soon" has not an exact date and a (new)member has it (=related material) already in his own "arsenal" why not give benefits to community (and to him with likes) ?
    "Soon" could be months too long....in my opinion, this is the reason to set a date for "Soon"

    Yes, I understand your point.

    I also understand that if an admin labels a post "soon" (and it's not a Group Buy) they might already have it and they are just delaying the upload in order to not get traced back to the purchase date.

    Either way... the community benefits.

    Hope your blue character is for "Soon" ...and not for another (stormy) reason.
    Good point yours too.

    I think Is for all, Is an option on choosing when you create a new thread. And in the rules Is written ". In order to prevent abuse, a warning will be given to the user not respecting the period of time "
    Will not have a sense if warning is for mods

    In some other sites they're very particular on DUPLICATE POSTING, and definitely should be BANNED.
