Mods ban assholes spamming the main forum
 

I am quoting a great suggestion made in this thread:
https://gfy.com/showthread.php?t=1077728

This is getting annoying .. do you lack man power? If so - pick another mod just for that.
Sell and buy + hiring forums are there for a reason!

they cant afford another mod... :(

Better idea ban assholes who call out the mods, get a life

:1orglaugh

They will still ban you for spamming though...

Your thread was just random one, not calling the mods, just mad at people who spam main forum clearly knowing that their thread belongs to "buy and sell". Bad karma :2 cents:

:2 cents::thumbsup

What a pussy...

There is a few spammers on here that need banning.

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

You've been here 5 years and still think there are mods monitoring posts? Try being a little more specific if someone is abusing GFY, then notify the man.

Better idea, Ban anyone who isn't in the adult industry, ban all the dumb ass trolls :)

yep, gotta keep the main forum clear for conspiracy theories, olympics chit-chat, markham's bullshit, etc.

Fuck having to skim past legit biz offerings to get to the important stuff, way better all that shit goes in the buy/sell forum that about 0.001% of gfy visits.

Most people don't check the buy and sell or hiring forums.

What is it hurting you if people post in the main forum?

Jesus christ, you'd think people would have better things to worry about.

Quoted for truth.

This !

If its some new guy - just regged etc - different senario...

But members for a good few years? WHO CARES?

Btw sorry to come across as an arsehole there. I get caught up in the gfy mindset a lot of the time I'm here. Could have worded that way better to make the same point, my apologies :thumbsup

If it was me all those olympic threads, off topic threads would be shit canned to "off topic" forum. Same way as buy and sell threads should be in buy and sell forum.

Completely disagree with 0.001% argument. EVERYBODY who needs or wants to buy something is visiting that forum.

I've said that for years - but never going to happen. The traffic is what makes GFY profitable to investors and those advertising here. Rid yourself of non industry profiles and the sales of ad space and board daily posts etc will drop significantly.

Thing is, I often buy stuff from here that I didn't think to look for in the buy/sell forum. I've read that section maybe 3 times since 2003.

Then look more often.

Still as in most buy and sell (retail for example) businesses majority of buyers are the ones that need/want to buy something. And those that bought something only because they saw something (spontaneously) are the minority.
Your example just proves that you did not need to buy much here. If you needed something - would you pop in buy and sell and do a search or would you do nothing and wait expecting that someone would post a thread in main forum? Even if it may take a month or a year lol

And what are you saying is - gfy needs to get rid of buy and sell section, because it is better to post in main forum than in buy and sell?

For things I don't know I'm looking for? Righto.

:2 cents:
:thumbsup

If I look for something specific I'll do a search on gfy as a board, not just the buy/sell forum, on account of not being a fucking moron who would restrict the results and possibly miss out, so I'll find it anyway - people posting products/services here on the chitchat/olympics/nwo/tv show/daily mail/would you hit it/cookery section gives more exposure to whichever product is being sold, and does me a favour by way of bringing my attention to a product/service that I may think 'hey, that sounds pretty useful, I can use that at xyz site, or for abc project'.

And no, I'm saying gfy should get rid of pedantic up their own arse members who get anal about a product/service being posted in the main forum because 'wait! there's another section for that! It's against the ruuuuuules wahwahfuckingwah'. Or members cluttering up the main section with useless threads moaning about other threads, and making it harder to find the important chitchat/olympics/nwo/tv show/daily mail/would you hit it/cookery threads. Because god forbid anyone skim over a thread topic that didn't interest them. Prick.

i clicked into a link to serious money thread!! oh noo!

You see very pathetic. Is there no honor in this world anymore?

The US Gov has everyone being a rat bitch

Stop moaning about other threads where people moan about other threads. :winkwink: I agree though.

.

Like I said:
I agre that daily mail, would you hit it/tv show threads are way worse than buy and sell threads in main forum. However there is no "off topic" forum section, so they stay there on main.

I think you should be the one who would vote for deletion of "buy and sell" section - that way you would see more business threads on main forum among all those off topic threads :)
