Chrome Posted July 7, 2004 Report Posted July 7, 2004 Just wondering ... what do people think about adding some kind of "marketplace" thread here? Something specifically for posters such as "marissam" who are trying to sell their stuff? I hate seeing that stuff crammed into the other threads and it's obvious from most people's responses they feel the same. With some kind of specialized forum, we'd have better chance of keeping it in one place. Plus, it's conceivable some of these people would become "good" posters here if they weren't hounded for spamming the board where it's not wanted. Quote
undergroundagent Posted July 7, 2004 Report Posted July 7, 2004 Isn't this the whle point of the "Offering and Looking for" section? Quote
RDK Posted July 7, 2004 Report Posted July 7, 2004 The problem is, even if there was a "Marketplace" thread/forum, the people who should put their posts there would most likely ignore it (or not know about it) and still spam the board anywhere they saw fit... Quote
Spontooneous Posted July 7, 2004 Report Posted July 7, 2004 RDK is exactly right. Besides, we have so much fun ganging up on the spammers... Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted July 7, 2004 Report Posted July 7, 2004 I'd probably avoid a Marketplace thread.... B) The "outsiders" usually post in multiple threads anyway. Quote
blue lake Posted July 8, 2004 Report Posted July 8, 2004 It would be cool if there were some kind of mp3 compatibility, though, so folks could send along snippets of music they'd like everyone to hear. (Just a thought). Quote
chris olivarez Posted July 8, 2004 Report Posted July 8, 2004 Such things should be the sole decision of our board host. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted July 8, 2004 Report Posted July 8, 2004 You ruthless bastards dumped on another poor schmuck for spamming??? And I missed it??? Darn... Quote
wolff Posted July 8, 2004 Report Posted July 8, 2004 I like the Commercial forums where retailers post sales/specials or post about upcoming releases, but unless it remains civil they will quit posting. Spammers like Marissa still get hammered when they show up. Quote
Z-Man Posted July 8, 2004 Report Posted July 8, 2004 I think a "Marketplace" type of thread would introduce even MORE spam, as it would give the spammers a "legal" place to post. After being invited here by the Marketplace thread the spammers are likely to pollute the rest of the board as well (as RDK mentioned). The Marissas of the world don't show up that often, and when they do they are dealt with accordingly... Quote
Brad Posted July 8, 2004 Report Posted July 8, 2004 Don't think we need it. We already have a forum devoted to that as Underground Agent indicated. Quote
Chrome Posted July 8, 2004 Author Report Posted July 8, 2004 Isn't this the whle point of the "Offering and Looking for" section? My bad ... not having visited that thread too often, I always thought it was just for people buying/selling from their own collections and stuff like that. Quote
