Damn, I didn't even notice that there wasn't a BST section.

Good call.

This section (general discussion) is what the Tiny family uses as a BST forum.

Its too random..not well thought out IMHO..

By haveing a proper BST you get rules and a true market feel. Rules such as needing to have in the topic FS (forsale) FT (for trade) WTB/WTT (want to trade/buy) and rules such as minmum 50 posts of usfule help and referances and help setup a stabile BST that works!

I can't really speak for other Tiny Forums, because I honestly have other homes that I became involved with first that I tend to spend most of my forum time at, but I will agree with having a seperate section.

However, I am a member at them. I do visit. I think I'm going to like this one. NO red.

reluctantly i would have to agree with this. it's been a headache from day one keeping sales/trades/buys within the misc. subform on mzr. i understand the rule has been clearly posted and been there for a long time but it's jsut something that continually gets ignored and or abused. hE is still fresh and new so i don't expect there to be much going on in this dept. there. trc has one i believe?
having a specifc subforum for this can be done much easier by setting posting requirements such as 50 post count on teh software side so no moderation is even required. forum editing can be set to replace keywords that get removed with links to rules so members/admin don't have to continually repost links and or explain why something gets edited. the simple fact is nearly every forum does in some form or another and and it gets conviently forgotten when someone complains when it happens to them on a trc, inc. site.

anyway, i know epoch1-43 has some options, i just hope they can be implemented, possibly when or after all the sister sites are upgraded. it makes it easier for the members and less policing for the moderators/admin.

So is that a thumbs up?
