Re: Getting To be a habit
Good point to a certain extent..... but in all reality the amount of spamming is unbeleivable. A simple request or giveaway or trade and all of a sudden it's 4 pages long with useless comments....

A trade/giveaway is a useless comment/post to begin with. It's only expected that users carry on the topic.
Re: Getting To be a habit
ya good point, then you get those people who just say good luck mate, or something thats just not related to the topic, and then another person don't like what they're saying, and they will start arguing in the same thread that belongs to somebody else, so some people just started closing it, to avoid those type of people.

On the flip side, it does "bump" up your thread somewhat, I am NOT advocating or condoning the act of Spamming, don't get me wrong...
Your Post could be "buried' really fast too.......LOL
Re: Getting To be a habit
I totally agree with you. It has advantages aswell as disadvantages. An advantage is indeed that your post gets bumped so gets new readers. 2 Disadvantages are that it is full of spam you do not need and that there are a lot of negative comments in it. Especially comments like 'trading is bad' are found in every thread, 'you shouldn't trade this or that'. That's what you think. Just let the guy go ahead and mind your own business, then we don't need to spam your thread :)

Well this is a trading forum so I don't see how a trade or giveaway thread is useless. And yes the users that are interested carry on the posts but all the "very nice", "that's not worth that" ect... is useless and then u find urself scanning thru heaps of posts....
Buy yeah on the flip side as stated, it can bump up the thread lol
