So about the classifieds...

[MKULTRA]

I think it is kind of annoying when people post a thread about their upcoming sale to build suspense or whatever.  Can't we just post the thread whenever we have the sale ready?

[longweight]

People like to feel special and build hype about them selling CC's.

[esoomenona]

You just don't understand how to properly test the waters!

[MKULTRA]

People like to feel special and build hype about them selling CC's.

Yes that is why I posted this thread.  I think it is obnoxious.  Just post your sale thread whenever you have your list of items compiled.

[Moosecraft]

I personally enjoy reading the hype and testing waters threads.

[funkymeeba]

TW threads strike me as scummy behavior. I vote we get rid of them. And I really would be highly disappointed if I see another moderator post one.

Are there any rules other than having to have 60 posts and the 24 hour bumping (which is abused also), when it comes to the classifieds?

I forgot the M in the title. Trading With Moose

transparency, people always complaining about clack trades via Pm so.....

[esoomenona]

My goodness. I was right the other day when I said geekhack doesn't know what it wants. You want transparency, and then when you get it, you complain about something else. Make up your minds!

[phx]

came here wanting to start a topic, but hey look, I'm not the only one
this **** needs to stop, it's just spam and stupid

http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=47608.0
http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=47602.0

no more posts in classifieds without actually having something listed for sale,buy,trade

[Sifo]

My goodness. I was right the other day when I said geekhack doesn't know what it wants. You want transparency, and then when you get it, you complain about something else. Make up your minds!

Seriously. At one point everyone was complaining about PM trades and how shady it is.

Now you get everything open in the public and the *****ing continues.

Just let people go about their own business, stop trying to get involved.

Why would people care about stuff you trade over PM?  That is stupid.  I have a problem with profiteering Clacks, not trading over PM.  That is your business.

I just keep getting disappointed when I see TW, thinking someone is going to sell some transparent wood.

It's less about trading in public than posting TW threads or classifieds threads with nothing in them, trying to build suspense for your future sale.  Just post your FS thread when you figure out what all is gonna be in it.

It's the same logic as having an IC for a groupbuy. If someone's unsure of whether or not what they're selling may be of interest to people or not, there's no point in wasting their own time writing up an entire FS thread only to get no interest.

So take it to PM.  People getting butthurt over PM trading are stupid.  These threads are pretty useless and clutter classifieds.

Also you aren't the only offender here don't think I'm just talking to you.  There have been MANY times where members post a FS thread with NOTHING in it (presumably to build suspense) and then wait till later to post all of their items for sale.  That clutters the classifieds and is just straight up annoying.

[IC] exists because it takes a lot of time to set up a GB.
only takes a few minutes to type up a friken sales thread, plus you are trying to sell stuff for money.
and why would you ever write a IC for stuff you have to sell? What would you write? "I have X, would anyone be interested in buying it if I put it on sale?", then just friken write "I have X for sale". it's the samething. bringing up useless hype for a sale is stupid, even more stupid when you don't follow through it.

posting it in public is basically a giant middle finger to the public

People do get butthurt about that for some reason which is retarded.  There is no reason for people to get upset about trading clacks over PM.

I still think these threads are ****ing stupid, and the stupidity is not exclusive to Beast and moose's threads.

No it wasn't a joke... and they're not useless either if the two threads brought together a trade. I don't understand why people are butthurt about people posting trade threads. Both parties listed what they had for trade. They ended up PMing each other after discovering what each other had through reading their threads. The deal was made. It's not your business nor mine or any one elses but them two.

I have seen the light with my newly acquired model F AT, so I have decided to sell all my Mx gear since it is now worthless.

[KangarooZombies]

Classifieds are turning into a testing waters circlejerk quickly.

I and many other members would appreciate some moderation on it.

Not only that but the members should know better by now.

Moose and Beast are old school members that know whats up, so quite frankly this immature, unnecessary propagation of drama is unexpected from them.

That being said, just because they are generally respected people, does not mean they shouldn't be taken action on.

Grow up kids.
