I have honestly never seen someone use either one of those remarks in the invites section.. and i have no f-in clue of how you became a mod or w/e on PtN

anyways, thanx for the poll option of 'STFU SenorBubbz'

It's really time for a trading subsection. As a nontrader i'm sick of seeing their lame offers clutter up the bt invites section. From their perspective I'm pretty sure they're getting sick of people spamming their shit all the time. Making them a separate section (like they do at most other forums) would give nontraders no excuse to go to the trading subforum and spam their stuff.

the mods tried to limit good luck posts, but there are just too many asshats that kept posting them that it wasn't worth the trouble of deleting all of them

junk posts of the like would be difficult if not impossible to moderate, especially in that section

The point of a public forum is free speech, people will say what they want, however immature their comments, as others have said this is not only a trading forum, there are others here that don't agree with your business, and they have the right to voice their opinions, but in this case I think a picture speaks a thousand words................

so what constitutes a bullshit comment besides good luck and hope you get it and do notz trad3?

i can argue that the quoted post is completely useless; that it's just an agreement post with poor grammar, spelling, and l33tsp34k, so where do you draw the line?

I don't think that what you consider "nonconstructive" posts should be disallowed. I think trading threads should be disallowed.

BTW I chose the STFU option.

Wrong.

The point of this forum is to be a resource for it's members in both areas of file sharing knowledge and material. It has nothing whatsoever to do with free speech.

We have rules which require members to adhere their posts (speech) to particular sections and there are even a couple of topics which we do not even allow to be discussed.

Members do not have freedom of speech here and this is not a forum governed or inspired by any sort of democracy. We have our own set of rules and allowances and free speech is not one of them.
