Zathras Posted August 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Cool And I see from the other one that popped up at the same time that great minds think alike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelley Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 It is in the works, there are some legal issues to clear up before going forward. We need to protect ourselves and LCVG first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcalx Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 There are times when one stumbles upon a good deal. Should those posts be kept in this impending board, or can a thread be started in Controller Down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainl Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 First thing I'd recommend is that any for sale board is only visible to members; it stops prying eyes of nasty things seeing personal stuff. Second is that I'd suggest that shop offers are placed either in General or the relevant console, rather than For Sale or Controller Down, as they don't need the hiding and are on-topic. But thats just my thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Zot Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 I agree with iainal, those are both good ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTello Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 Just putting in my feedback,... I'd like to see a trade/sale forum. I'm hoping to pick up a DC title, one that rhymes with Pez! :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbert Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 I don't remember any DC games about Turkish hats... Can I make one suggestion about a forsale/wanted forum? Do not allow "professional" traders in it - ie one must be an active participant in the forum to make posts in it. On a couple of DVD forums I visit, there's one particular trader who /only/ posts his (overpriced) for sale/trade list. He's got huge post counts but that's literally all he ever posts. Annoys me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer Monkey Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 One forum I belong to requires 25 'regular' posts before being allowed to post in the for-sale section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTello Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 -I completely agree, I can't stand Dealers clogging the boards. Altough, I imagine it'd be a pain to police for'em. I guess if you had some sort of program script that was able to quickly scan the forums for content other than sales it'd make the job of nixing the dealers easier. But, I have no clue about how these sites are constructed and managed? -P.S. Here's a hint, ...it's not Aez, Bez, Cez, Dez, Eez, Fez, Gez, Hez, Iez, Jez, Kez, Lez (too bad :wink: ) , Mez, Nez, Oez, Pez, Qez, Sez, Tez, Uez, Vez, Wez, Xez, Yez, or Zez!

AndyVX Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 Ya, I like the idea of having the forum only visible to registered members. That sounds like a good idea to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoys me Very good point dogbert and one that will definetely be implimented! Though I agree with dogbert (and the other ideas above), how will you define and police that, exactly? Someone also suggested that only regular posters can trade. Will you say "he/she doesn't contribute enough so he/she isn't allowed to offer items for sale"? How much is "enough"?

On other sites, I've seen limitations of "your post count must be over x" before you're allowed to enter the for/sale section (or sections like it). Does that stop them from posting 100 times & never posting outside the fs area? No, but it's a help. One thing I'll add: if such an area opens, it will require extra tough modding. Not more mods, just one really good & fair one to keep an eye on "problem sellers" or spammers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackcalx Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 I have a question about the rules in regards to this passage: No Price or "interest" checks, there is no bidding allowed either. Only post if you have something you want to sale/trade or are looking for. If I understand the principle of the rule LCVG is attempting to avoid price trolling, which I can completely understand. However, there are times when somebody truly just wants to get rid of something regardless of the selling price. By the letter of the law "Make an offer" is not allowed. How would this situation best be handled? Thanks for the hard work in getting us the new board. It's a nice addition to an already great site.
