If somebody starts an auction in the Marketplace:Goods subforum, will it be move to the Auctions subforum?

No.

Done. Topic starters can still lock their topics.

If you do this you might also want to add a sticky in the new Auctions forum noting that posts are not editable, so that auction starters think carefully about how they set up the rules for their auction in the first post (since they can't edit), and so that other viewers take care to read the entire thread (and any "clarification" posts by the OP) before bidding.

This is a good idea. I will create it later today.

Auctions where people can edit their posts cause trouble...

If we had a separate forum for auctions where no one can edit their posts, it would help, methinks.  Wink
