As can anyone, but I don't see them running up the trade forums with silly bids...

Shouldn't you be working on CTC stuff anyways?

I am!

Cool I look forward to trying it again.

nox my inbox is spammed purely with people asking me to clean their threads from you specifically. It would help a lot of you would stop spamming peoples threads with garbage.

what you need is more roleplay less pixels...this isn't farmville

The Trading forums could be set up with its own list of allowed members to post. Repeat offenders should just be banned from that one section then. It could be setup so they can still read the section, just not post there, so noone could argue that they couldn't see what's for sale or bid. They could send PMs if they wanted to bid on something. They would have to use IRC if they wanted to sell something though. I don't think that's too harsh for the repeat offenders.

While initially it would be a bit more work for someone to set up that change (but it's pretty simple and quick to do), once it's in place and repeat offenders were off the Trading forum, the moderation required would likely be cut way back. And knowing that there are now consequences to posting trash there would probably help cut down on those posts in the future from others.

Its pretty easy to tell who needs banned from the trade forums and who doesn't. I honestly don't understand why the moderators of that forum continue allowing the same handful of people to disrupt threads in the same exact way.

the rule of the internet mostly :<
the more you try and ban/moderate the worst things end up getting

Absurd. You're essentially telling everyone that they can run rampant in the trade forum and you'll do nothing about it.

i clean peoples threads on request, or if there is inappropriate verbage
its been working fine for 3 yrs until the last month :<

alas if the hammer must fall it must fall!

I honestly don't believe you can't tell who needs banned from the trade forum and who doesn't. The job of a moderator is not to be everyone's friend.

Why are these few people not being punished? It makes your job harder and gives everyone on the server headaches.

they are a fine example of how the trade forum should not look

Why should the poster of a thread have their trade post moved to trash talk due to other people making comments on the post? This should be changed people really need to be banned at least temporary so they know they cant just continuously get away with it.
