From now on, anyone caught breaking the new rules will have their post deleted. NO EXCEPTIONS.
The reason this is being done is because I for one, am sick of seeing threads that give you absolutly no information at all. There is no point trying posting and skimping on words. You do not have to pay for this service, make the most of it.
(Based on rules originally written by Garth, Julie and OSO-060)

Any threads deemed to have insufficient information are in breech of the Trading Rules and WILL BE DELETED.
4. If you have a problem with the asking price or any other aspect of an item please take it up personally with the seller via PM. Do not post negative comments in the traders thread. Legitimate complaints or concerns can also be reported to Administration or Moderators for further action.

MUST have 20 posts and have been a member for atleast 3 months. Users who post usless comments in order to post in here will have their thread deleted.
Chat In Trading Post
Just a note to all users. KEEP IDLE CHAT OUT OF HERE. If you are not asking a question to the seller about their item DO NOT POST. This includes comments about how nice their car is and wishing them good luck with the sale. If you wish to compliment someone on something DO IT VIA PM.
There is a few certin repeat offenders that have caught my eye. I am sure you will know who you are. If anyone is caught breaking this rule you will be given a warning. Second strike you will have Trading Post privilages taken away from you for a month.
Please see some examples below:
1. 'Nice car, good luck with the sale'
This is pointless, it does not achieve anything and wastes time.
2. 'If only you live (insert location) i would buy it.'
Same as above. They dont live near you so too bad.
3. 'I wish i had more money to afford this'
Well you dont have more money. If you want to work out some sort of deal with the seller regarding payment fair enough, but wishing for more money is pointless.
4. 'Geez, thats 3 times what it is actually worth'
If someone wants to sell something at an extremely high price then let them. The money doesnt come out of your pocket and it is none of your business.
5. Asking for pictures IS allowed but only needs to be asked ONCE, not by 6 different people.
6. 'My best friends girl friends sisters boy friends mates uncle has one of these.'
Why bother? Once again, a waste of time.
The above mentioned examples are only a sample of the pointless chat that cleaners/mods/admin have to deal with on a day-to-day basis. It wastes our time deleting it so dont waste your time posting it.
Thank you for reading and happy trading
