Do you think FST should get rid of the Trading section?

[pro267]

Well, guess what, the invite section is breaking tracker rules and is endangering trackers.

Like I said hypocritical.

I agree, but look at it this way:

Staff is obviously trying to make a change here, one that many seem to believe is the right one for FST. It may not be the complete solution, but it's definitely a step in the right direction towards improving relations between FST and the BT community. I also believe that in the long run, this site is going to benefit from it.

You know what the say: "Rome wasn't built in a day". If every initiative for change gets knocked down then you end up in a state of stagnation. I say let's start with this and go from there.

Considering the size and activity of the trade forum vs the GA/Req forum...I think it's fairly obvious that FST would be just fine without that bit of traffic that the trade forum may bring. Imo...most people grow out of trading before long, esp once they get an account on the trackers they want anyway.

Me thinks things would be just fine w/o a trade section...

how will this site benifit from it? These tracker sites can get taken down at anytime and FST will always be here. Many of you wouldn't have your accounts you have now if it wasn't for these trades. Now that ppl got into the sites they want they think trading is a bad thing. Also LOL at FST improving relations between the BT community. FST is the BT community if you get what I mean.

Haha, funny question. My answer is definitely yes. xD

Yeah close it
but the traders will just go to another website and trade there so I don't think it would make a difference

[Adama]

it's simple
a trader stays in the trade section
an anti trader stay in the giveaway section
a non trader stays in both and trade by pm
and every one win
and if you get red of it i think it's not fair for traders lol
cause this is a public forum and has nothing to do with trackers rules
and as far as i know fst has no rule against trading

[pone44]

True, as said. Unfortunately that will not stop trading as they will scatter to some other forum-site.The majority here (so the vote reads also) probably would love to see the trade section go. Is up to the Staff of course.
It would ease things a bit here i would think.? A step in the right direction.

If we get rid of the trading section, let me tell you trading will get WORSE.
Traders will always find places to trade, but without a trading section here, we won't be able to tell who's a trader and who isn't.
That means alot more traders will get invites from the Giveaway/Request section and go trade them in other forums.

To all the anti traders and people that voted yes, get this :
We need the trading section to know who not to trust!!

And like Cabalo said, there is no way it will be deleted since it attracts users and generates ad money for the site.
The trading section will stay, and that's a good thing.

H.

Anyone disagree? No? So this is settled then?

[killercam101]

majority voted yes to rid it and nothing will happen and so the cycle continues...round of applause to all those who participated... next poll Do you think FST looks fat in this dress?

[Sanka113]

So far it looks like most people have voted in favor of giving the trading section the boot. I guess the guys with sever dupe accounts haven't voted yet.

On another note, if the trading section goes down the WTAW and BT rep should go down with it. Both would be deemed irrelevant without the trading section. People should know who's who in terms of who's a good member based on their post history and personal interaction with that person.
