    Hi,

    I'd like to suggest that more is done to hilight the fact that the Graphics & Multimedia forum is not for selling products, buying products, or asking for reviews on individual publications. It seems that about half of the threads there are out of place, and the same goes to the Photoshop subforum.

    I'm writing this thread because I've been reporting some but not all of the offending threads because I'm not sure whether I'm doing the right thing and something slightly more sustainable should be done.

    It seems that the sticky thread in that section isn't quite putting across a clear enough message, perhaps it should be highlighted like one of the premium members' BST threads?

    Thanks! :D
    H.

    Please keep reporting. My grandmother's unpublished poetry gets read more than stickies do.

    Also, one thing I'd like you to possibly clarify if you'd be so kind :)

    What I'm confused about is that the types of thread aren't really polarized to the BST or the Graphics & Multimedia forum, so where's the cut-off point? I'd say the thing that really distinguishes it is that the G&M forum is for designers asking for help, rather than non-designers asking for free designs, because there are lots of people in there doing just that, which belongs in the freebies section.

    Many thanks for your patience! :D

    If you are buying, selling, trading or wanting/giving something for free belongs in buy, sell, trade area. Other discussions, questions, etc belong in graphics and multi-media area.

    Ok thank you very much for clarifying; there are a lot of out of place threads in that case!

    Report them when you see them. Basically, buy, sell, trade is for that purpose only, not chit chat.
