Rename "Real Life Items" section

[Grave]

Please write me an essay. Unless you're challenged and can't clarify what Real Life Items means, I'd expect you to understand.

I feel like you posted this just to post it

You honestly can't read. I told you to private message me, and you're the only person who's acting like a complete idiot on this thread. I made this suggestion because of the high amount of spam in the Real Life Items section due to people assuming they can sell anything having to do with real life. Here's your essay.

The real life items section has been filled with spam ever since it was made. People completely ignored the stickies, and sold anything that they associated with ‘real life’ including gift card codes, marijuana, and hosting. More stickies were added in the future that required people who were selling items to post pictures and restricted what could be bought/sold even more.

Although many people read these stickies, the majority of the people who are new to this section do not. This causes confusion, which leads the people into posting anything that they cannot sell in the regular game markets. They assume because the section has “real life” in it, it allows the sale of anything having to do with real life.

If the section was renamed to something more appropriate, new people to the section would lose the thought of being able to sell anything having to do with real life. For example, if someone goes to the “Physical Items” section, they will not sell hosting and domain names. If the section was named “Non-Virtual Items”, then someone would know that they cannot give accounts for tangible items.

The section should be called anything that is a synonym of “tangible”. As some people stated earlier, many people do not know the meaning of “Tangible” so it would be better to call the section “Non-virtual” or “Physical” items. This will hopefully cut down on the amount of spam in that section because the first impression of the section will be changed.

Now, please stop posting on this thread unless you have something to contribute to it. If you do not support or agree, then explain why. If you have a comment about the essay or more questions about why I created this thread/why, PRIVATE MESSAGE me. Thanks.

You're obviously stupid, not challenged if you truly believe spam would be reduced by "non virtual items" vs. Real Life items.

I reckon sin666's answer was the best.
Most appropriate imho.

There would be no negative outcome from the name of the section being changed. I'm not saying all spam would be gone, but most of the spam from the people new to the section would. This would help out a little bit, but wouldn't completely obliterate all the incorrect threads that are there. Pardon me, I'm stupid? Who was the person who asked me three times to explain what was already explained on the first post? Oh, okay.

I agree.

I reckon that's the best choice. First I thought "Physical" would be better but that sounds rather strange.

The problem is the people who don't read the stickies, or pretend not to have read the stickies. They post it in the real life section just to get their thread seen elsewhere other than the appropriate section. They think "oh I'm selling my runescape account FOR real life items so it belongs here too!" ...Wrong

A simple name change won't stop people from trying to sell guns, but it will cut out a lot of the virtual stuff.
