Trade Posts? Not allowed?

Post by Savannahtron »

Hi there,
I was wondering why it was not allowed here for Trade posts, and why you guys just don't make another section for selling/trading?

Just a thought.

Straight from the rules page...

4. Please don't advertise any items you may be trying to sell or looking to buy, sorry but it makes the message board look bad.

Trade posts fall into this category. However, if you have a trade website set up, you're allowed to include it in your sig. That's a rather common thing 'round here.
Any other questions?

i agree with Savannahtron, there should be a section of the forum called "Toy Market" ou something like that, where we could trade or advertise transformer toys. (exclusively)

Yes, one example would be me.
As seen in my sig, I have a link to my trade page.(Shameless Plug)

Perhaps the mods should post an announcement on the main toys page and keep it there, because this discussing comes up every so often.

It doesn't look good for the board. Sooner or later, someone'd get their fingers burnt, and it'd come back on the board.

Bottom line: It's Brendan's board, he don't think it's a good idea, so it don't happen. To take Omega's more succint line from Transfans, if you've got soemthing to sell, use eBay.

Thanks for answering my question so quickly.

I have only been on for a little while and wanted to know.

Yeah... a quasi-permanent announcement would make a lot of sense.
