Can we actually enforce the stick in the gp buying forum?

My suggestion: Remove the sticky, because no one follows it, and mods never lock the threads anyways.

Literally every other thread is composed of something along the lines of...

"wont go first, add me"

"not going first, post"

"thats all, i won't go 1st"

Almost every other thread doesn't have the payment method, or contact information. Half the threads in there should be locked. If you're not going to actually enforce it, why have the sticky in the first place?

I realize mods are busy, but seriously, isn't a market mods job to do just that, lock threads that aren't in compliance with the rules? It's like the easiest thing in the world to spot, you don't even have to open the thread half the time.

THAT IS JUST ON THE FIRST PAGE ALONE... of threads that should be locked/moved.

 

Mods are busy as you said just report the post it will be handled.

 

But it's pointless to report them. All it would take is a market mod to go in there once a day for about 5 minutes, and it would be fine. I shouldn't have to spend a half hour of my time reporting threads when a mod could simply spend 5 of theirs. Not to sound rude or not thankful to the mods, but I find that a bit ridiculous.

 

^^ Your dumb it takes time to Close Infract Archive a thread and warn the user. + they come up rapidly if you don't want to help by reporting don't complain I personally DON'T see anything wrong with some of them.

 

If your so worried about it report the posts the mods will get to it

 

Most of them don't have payment methods. It blatantly states in the sticky what four things you need to have. That is why I'm suggestion, DELETE THE STICK, because no one follows it/knows it's even there, and market mods don't do anything anyways.

You don't have to archive every thread as you do it, or even give them an infraction them. Lock the thread, and post saying it doesn't meet the guidelines in the sticky, and you're done. You're dumb if you honestly think it takes more than 15 seconds to do what I just said. And most of them do not come up quickly, some of them have been posted days ago.

Or maybe a market mod could just go in there once a day and lock a few threads, because 5 minutes is all it would require. Isn't that what they're supposed to be doing in the first place? If not, please correct me, because I thought that was their sole responsibility, the markets...

 

Thanks for telling the staff what to do..

Report the threads like everyone else, and we'll infract them, simple as.

 

I'm not telling them what to do. I'm merely asking, why do we even have the sticky if absolutely no one enforces it? I'm simply saying, a market mods first and foremost job is to patrol the markets, is it not? I'm not being sarcastic, I'm asking a serious question, or am I mistaken in that?

I just don't get why one of the easiest rules and things to enforce, never does get enforced. As to the replies who just keep saying report it, I HAVE, and most of the time the threads don't get locked or edited with the required information. Why should I waste 30 minutes reporting multiple threads, when a market mod could just go in there for 5 minutes and lock the threads that don't have all the information. Logically? It would make sense for the mod to actually go in there once in a while, instead of seemingly never looking at them at all.

 

Maybe they were already there for 5 minutes today? Think about what you're saying...

 

I am guilty of doing this too, and this is why:

If I just leave my MSN in my thread I get a TON of impostors adding me and it gets so annoying. That's why I make people PM me and I'll give them my MSN.

Maybe these people are doing the same?

 

I'm not really talking about the people who don't put an MSN, because I can understand they don't want spam. Most of them say PM me or post for their MSN anyways, so that's fine. I'm talking about the people who post buying 100m for bleh bleh (if they even include a price), and never say what payment method. I think if there's something you should for sure have is the payment method above all else. It's really annoying to always post, do you accept bleh, do you take blah, etc.

All I'm trying to say is why is the sticky there if it's not enforced. I just reported a thread yesterday, and the global mod told me it was fine, even though it's word for word against the supposed rules.

Either remove the sticky, or enforce it, that's the only thing I'm trying to suggest.

 

Does it honestly matter that much to you?

 

I don't see how it's a big deal... not hurting anybody

 

This Isnt Really Good Argument.

 

SAD, unfortunately, you'll find on forums people like to argue with you as they have nothing better to do and are scared of common sense.

 

Because it's extremely annoying if your browsing there trying to find buyers or sellers and you have to waste extra time asking them their payment option when they should of included it in their OP
