(Posting this thread assuming Gold is only allowed to be sold or brought for Real Life Cash) - Simply because it doesn't make sense to have global and sub-forum rules otherwise.
Hi, I've seen quite a few people posting totally random sales in the gold forum that have their own section anyway, some of which actually think this is allowed(Couldn't possibly be). It specifically says it's for buying/selling GP for or with Real Life Money. I think the reason people assume it's allowed is because there's not actual rules saying so, besides obviously the sub title - which isn't really a set-in-stone rule
Another reason is I believe people do it, is simply because it's an active forum and they have more chance of getting their thread seen- effectively spam, should be infractable as it's a waste of staff time. If someone wants their thread to get more attention, at the cost of staff time, they should have to pay for advertisments/buy Sig slots, no?
I think this is important because the rules specified in the forum only relate to the sale and purchase of gold with real life money. Therefore when someone posts "Selling my 9MM for RSGP" or "Buying GP for Cheese", the rules related to the sales of such items are in different forums. So technically if I'm offering a Window Cleaning Service in the Buying Gold Forum, I don't need any proofs xD So I could rightfully post my service in several different forums, without it being considered spam, as it is in different forums(Of course I couldn't)
If you think it's unnecessary to spend 30 seconds adding this into the forum, it would most definitely save more time in the reduction of threads having to be moved, in my opinion. Not everyone infracts on purpose Maybe it would help with the backlog of reports a little bit if it was made a little clearer/set in stone. Every little helps
Just a suggestion, won't be replying as I'm going sleep/ that's all I have on the matter.
Example - http://sythe.org/showthread.php?t=1363618 FYI Still needs moving and locking
