Hhm, ok so if we allow auctions to be promoted on this forum:
I recently sold most of my entire inventory on auction. (preping for certain purchase) If this rule weren't in place, I would've spammed this place with dozens of threads, each bumped once a day for 7 days or until BO was hit.
For those saying we should limit it to only high value items, how about a list of items that looks like this?
- Opalo SGA
- TP chip 1
- TP chip 2
- TP chip 3
- 7k novas (highest %MU of almost anything, though only 7 pec TT)
- Set of 6As (7 seperate auctions, so 7 separate threads made/bumped daily here)
- 80 ped muscle oil (hell yeah I'd post it here)
Under your rules, please tell me which items are "allowed" and which aren't, and why.
Also, there's my (item name withheld) currently on auction that ingame MU says is ~+1200, but is currently only selling for ~+300. Would that be OK to advertise?
I guarentee you folks would have hated me for spamming this forum with so many threads about what I'm selling on on auction. This place would've loked like a real bad Facebook page. (Selling another 75 ped of wool thread today -Like
)
And I'm just one guy. Do the math. Think those folks who throw 30 lvl 2 light mining amps on auction won't spam here either?
Oh, and which of you folks will be kind enough to educate every new forum user about what items are not allowed so us mods don't have to deal with 30 reported threads/day and the angry posters after we remove them?
Now yes, for some very rare cases, such as the sale of CND and the mass block of CLDs, we've let those slide. Why? Simple. Those are discussion-producing
litterally Univere changing sales that were going to be mentioned here anyway. There's no way we're going to delete those announcements.
As a moderator, auction user, forum reader, etc. I can
not endorse removing Rule 5.1.
