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
I and many others would disagree with that. If you think this is just a trading forum you're missing out on a lot and I hope you can see beyond the invite section.
And SAM is right the spam is getting out of control. It's one thing for someone to post off topic if it's well thought out and interesting but the crap that's been posted in the last few months is :sick:
EDIT:
I'm not advocating a ban though...just some light discipline from the mods

Honestly, I have kept my responses to a minimal....
It should be call " Just PM me "....LOL..just a thought :frusty::frusty::frusty:
I agree with u but u don't want them to lock it then?? I think they should lock em to avoid spam cuz like fisherman said.....like 80% of the comments in a thread r totally useless n just a way for users to increase their post count.
What I hate though is when someone requests something n people spam or go off topic in that person's request, that's something that needs to be fixed.
Mostly users who lock topic to avoid spam is the one's who want to trade......like for e.g. a guy named calender (or something like that). The guy has bumped his threads like 20 times n then just locks em n everytime he bumps it annoys me :dry:
Re: Getting To be a habit
Yea constant bumpers are the worst, especially when you lock your thread afterwards, but to each it's own i guess.

And as far as the pictures in threads I personally like them because it gives me some variety when I scanning this section and yes those guys that post just pm me and lock there threads seem like the type of people who not interested in the site other then for the levels.

That's because you are not allowed to persistently start new threads with the same topic.
Bumping your own thread of what you want, providing it hasn't changed, is the best course of action actually.

No the ones that don't follow the 12 hour rule. Sorry Sgt i should of been more clear about my point.:pinch: But yes i agree with you with only having one thread though. I see people opening up like 5 request threads for the same request. Thats an automatic no no(no help from me) for me.
Re: Getting To be a habit
Spamming is a lot more annoying than bumpers. It would very primitive if we had to ban every ''spammer''. Then a big discussion would blow up regarding what's spam and what's not. First of all we have decide if we are going to allow spammers or not.
You have to know that there can't come out anything good out of spam. Spammers have only one intention, and I think we all know what that is by now.

Re: Getting To be a habit
considering the amount of spam we see in this section everyday (this thread was a good example before i cleaned it up), closing it right after posting for a trade and unlock it 12 hours later to bump it seems to me like a wise way to act...
the close thread is an option available in the invite section and there is a reason to it, so just respect people who use it
