irokin Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 OK, there has been an increasing trend of people peddling their wares outside of the for sale area. From wikipedia A peddler...also known as a canvasser, solicitor, or monger (with negative connotations since the 16th century), is a traveling vendor of goods. So, traveling outside of the for sale area to sell their goods. It has the potential to ruin perfectly good technical information and fill the thread with for sale garbage where it isn't wanted. Examples: http://www.rollaclub.com/board/index.php?s...st&p=202946 http://www.rollaclub.com/board/index.php?s...st&p=185225 http://www.rollaclub.com/board/index.php?s...st&p=182511 http://www.rollaclub.com/board/index.php?s...st&p=169414 http://www.rollaclub.com/board/index.php?s...st&p=130888 Just a couple found by searching for "if your/youre/you're interested" (Selected at random. If its your post its nothing personal, just needed examples) This will stop immediately. There will be a 1 week grace period (people will still be warned via PM) and then people will be formally warned. Any questions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smacko84 Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 So is the ban on offering items in which you intend to sell? Or can you still offer free items? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anastasios Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 lol woohoo I'm a peddler not to be confused with pedders!! i feel so 16th century right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aecorolla Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 (edited) I think that if its relevent than its ok so that a whole thread doesnt get made just to sell the item to the person.although the seller could say if you want check this out then put in the link to their thread. hmm pretty sure I'm contradicting myself Edited October 13, 2007 by aecorolla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Easy enough to just PM the person and tell them what you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irokin Posted October 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 So is the ban on offering items in which you intend to sell? Or can you still offer free items? Do it in PM I think that if its relevent than its ok so that a whole thread doesnt get made just to sell the item to the person.although the seller could say if you want check this out then put in the link to their thread. hmm pretty sure I'm contradicting myself No, nothing, none, nada Easy enough to just PM the person and tell them what you have. Exactly, however if I start receiving complaints about specific people doing this excessively then they will be asked to stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aecorolla Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Fair enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irokin Posted October 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 The idea is to keep technical threads technical and keep the for sale stuff in the for sale area. I'm not trying to stop people selling stuff, just trying to keep it in the appropriate areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

towe001 Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Does get annoying when your doing a search to a tech question you have and all you get is "Does such and such fit to what what? - Yeah matey it does and your in luck i've just upgraded and so such and such is $xxx." Like for phuck sake, doesn't help much with the question. Good move Irokin, good move. :y: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
