How about only allowing posts in the BST forum from SELLERS ??

    The seller posts his sale, buyers respond through pm.
    The buyers don't really need to post in those threads (link sales especially).
    That should slow down the pace in there a bit.

    What do you guys think?
    Something is going to be done soon, I fear, to calm those forums, I feel that anything that would hinder the sellers would be a disaster, for they are the ones who make livings off this kind of stuff....

    Remember, the govt that governs least is the gov that governs best.
    Lets not let the "forum rules" grow and grow until the place is ruined.
    Tread lightly, I beg.

    If you are so scared about buyers posting in threads why don't you just go to ebay?

    They you go, words of wisdom from fryman...and so truthful!

    But yes, the bst forums are more and more the place not to sell anything.
    Easier and quicker (and more money) to use ebay.

    If you have trust in the product/service you are selling there is nothing that can really "hinder" the sale. Stupid comments from other members just makes them look stupid, and the kind of customers who you want to attract will see past that.

    Jimsmith, you know like you can sell anything you want on eBay, they have a category for everything, and also if we put up threads only for Sellers, then where will the WTB kin go to?

    Jimsmith, the amount of times I have seen people selling stolen goods, eg Warez templates and people about to buy them but I remember I have seen the templates elsewheree is countless, so no silly idea.
