trade/giveaway section poll

[Eargasm]

I'll be honest, I have not even looked at the trade section since the split. You could remove it for all I care.

So yes, I'm glad they were split.

No, because account giveaways are unfortunately still permitted to happen in the giveaway/request section. I wish the people who give away the accounts, as well as the people who accept the accounts, would realize that it is wrong, and that sort of stuff belongs in the trade section.

That would be an excellent point to bring up to staff here. The section is labeled INVITE giveaways, not Tracker giveaways. Perhaps they should rename it, or like you said, have account giveaways be done in the trading section.
.

Account giveaways should have there own subsection to reinforce the fact that they are far different from giving away an invite.
Other than that I'm non lascivio.The poll was placed here to bolster a particular viewpoint rather than gain any insight..

Also isn't this in the wrong section?Shouldn't it be in "Anything Related to the Board"?

I don't really care either way. However, I would like to see the giveaway and trades sections totally disappear, and only a request section remain.

everyone has room for themselves. Live and let live.

IMO giving invites away is as wrong as trading accounts. There's not really much of a difference, site's security-wise. Both are a big breach.

This wholly depends on perspective. From the trader's perspective splitting up the two sections and having a "no-trolling" sticky means that they could easily trade without getting flamed by anti-traders. From the anti-trader's perspective, well they'll just have to troll/preach elsewhere.

With the sections being divided, both parties(traders and nontraders) are going about their thing in peace(the flaming's majorly reduced) so I guess that's a win-win situation for FST. I'd go so far as to say that splitting up the two sections achieved the desired result as the trolling had gone out of control.

Another important aspect to note here is that FST is an independent board which isn't run by other torrent site's rules.In short,traders are free to trade.
This simple fact doesn't go down well with certain "esteemed" members here and they like to occassionally put down traders.
I find this laughable and ironic because these very same "by-the-book" members are breaching FST's rules by trolling and flaming threads.

Personally,I'd prefer only an invite request section as Funkin stated.

i think that the separation was a good idea the threads have allot less flaming in them now and you don't have to read the same "don't trade trading is evil" message in every other thread that you open. if someone wants to trade so be it if he manages to get what he looking for that way then good for him although i am against that method...

The invite section should be divided into requests and offers

Excellent, another rational and well thought out argument from the peanut gallery, how exactly did that post in anyway help this discussion ? and therefore is that not spam in itself ?
It was the staff on this board that decided to separate the requests from trades, and by and large it has been a good thing, with far less rivalry between those who trade and those who do not, but then the spam and flaming came from both sides as so ably demonstrated by the above quoted post.

Like many have said before me, I think it has smoothed over trader/antitrader relations a little bit. People aren't trolling and attacking each other nearly as much as it had been before they divided the sections.
