Trade / Sale / Wanted Section

I guess title says it all - please could we have a section for Trade / Sale / Wanted - general forums is spammed with people selling cubimals and whatnot :(

Thanks

  • A "Trade" forum is sorely needed.

  • The reason it is hard to find not-Trade threads is that SOMEBODY started bumping up trade requests that had been buried for weeks in order to make the point that too many people are posting about trades. Take a look at some of those threads -- they are not at the top of General because traders recently posted them, they got bumped up there by a one-glitch campaign to criticize people for trading.

  • @Vocable: It was me, and you're right, it was to prove a point. We NEED a trade forum so that spam can get out of General ASAP.

  • I'll just wait until I know some TS staff are watching the forums...

  • People who want to trade stuff are not disrupting the General forum, they are using it for an approved purpose to express their own interests. Now if you come along and intentionally make General harder to read by bumping up many weeks-past inactive threads ... I do think that is disruptive.

    Some rather small number of people would like to be able to censor the General forum to remove all trade talk. I don't think that forcing traders to stop playing Glitch in a harmless, enjoyable way is going to get on the to-do list of TS staff.

  • the reason i asked is that, as the game matures more people will be looking to trade to get 'hard to find' items - thus a trade section will be needed as the spam will become more and more.

    I'm not against trading, i just think there should be an easy to see place for it.

    its easy to open another sub section on forums, would take litteraly 3 mins i bet

  • A Trade/Sales forum would actually be very helpful. they are growing in numbers - especially cubimals or emblems/icons threads. Also {a side note to be sure} is a better way to sort through the search function - perhaps sorting by most recent posts on such and such topic, or being able to look only in a specific subforum {which if we get a Trade/Sales forums will help those posts stay out of our searches}

  • I agree with what others have said, and it seems to me this has become pretty high priority.

  • I'd love Trading to have it's own section, just like ideas. It's not a question of censorship, it's just organizing it so that people can get to the content they want faster.

  • I agree with setting up a Trades section, it would help those players looking for trades to not have to look through a bunch of things they have no interest in as well.  It's hard for me to see a valid post as spam, though.
