Buy/Sell/Trade sections

[Joe Riley]

These things are seriously getting out of hand now. Every thread in the Tradin' Post section is about how unlegit someone is. I delete threads left and right for not following the rules, as well..

In my opinion, it should just be gotten rid of already. Or seriously modified. I know I've read other staff members saying the same thing. What do you all think?

you all know my opinion on this, get rid of the shit.

We should of got rid of it a long time ago. Let's get this over with.

 

[Joe Riley]

A suggestion, instead of completely getting rid of it, which could possibly work, is a different part of the forum called the Marketplace. Although mods won't be there to check it, so it's 100% at your own risk. Just to get it off of the forum so it isn't so bothersome.

Although, I'd still prefer to just get rid of it. I'm an active seller and I still think that that section of the forum is a disgrace.

im in favor of killing it

 

[Kieran Mayhew]

Nah just get rid of it, regardless of how much we made them aware that they traded at their own risk, they will still come crying to us and kick up a shitstorm.

 

[Scott Trainer]

I think we shoudl either get rid of it, REALLY crack the fuck down on it, or assign someone to specifically moderate that section.

 

[Travis House]

Fuck 'em. Get rid of it.

OVER IT.

I actually think we should keep it. Its a major part of the site, and I feel like its really helpful to people who want to get rid of parts/get cheaper/used parts. I do think we should pay more attention to it though, and crack down on the scammers (perma-banning anyone who tries to scam someone).

There is no way in hell we can keep it. No matter how much we try to moderate it, they will find other ways to fuck each other over. They will start a trade on here, then start moaning to each other on facebook instead, then when it doesn't work out, they will just post another fucking unlegit thread on here and cause a shitstorm. Fuck the trading section, it infuriates me.

I like this idea because sometimes i still want to sell stuff but i dont want to deal with all the other kids' problems.

 

[TomK]

I still stand by the idea I posted in the last trade section discussion we had here.

 

[Hep Greg]

fuck it, lets get rid of it. if you wanna sell stuff, sell it at your local park or on facebook. kids get scammed too easily through here, we have absolutely no way to authenticate who's legitimate or not. if you sell shit locally you can get more kids into riding. fuck that section, lets ditch it.

So is that unanimous?

 

[Joe Riley]

Pretty much.
Like 9 favor getting rid of it against 2 wanting to keep it haha.
