An idea for the trade forum

[7upncider]

You can only put trades down in one thread. This thread should be stickied so that everyone knows to put there trades in there. This would prevent the mods from having to sort through everything. Also if it is not in the proper format it does not get traded. I think you guys are doing a great job but you need to get things to help you out along with us. If all trades are in one thread then the mods would know what needs to be traded and what doesnt. Also you wouldnt have to wade through all of the talks of trades. And you would be able to tell which trade you should trade first instead of going with the first one you come to in the trade forum.

I'm just throwing some ideas out there to help you all. Its a cluster f--- in the trade forum i looked and couldnt tell which one is first and so forth.

would be cool to have certain trading threads "open" at different times...

Like, if you want to trade something, you have to wait for the trading post to be open, and then only a certain number of possible trades would be issued until the forum is full, then you have to wait for the next one to open

something i have thought of,
it would be great if a filter was applied to the trading post forum so that all locked (completed) threads went to the end of the forum and active / unanswered trades at the top.
This way it saves going throught the pages to find an older trade that is still waiting to be ansered and means that people wont need repost the same trades.

It does work that way. The ones with new posts for to the top. After a trade is complete, we normally lock it, and then it's deletesn it'self in 3 days automatically.

but it always ends up you guys do the new ones first and dont get to the old ones. It should be the oldest trades to the newest not the first one in the list. and the only way you are gonna know that is by having the trades put in a thread by themselves. Then you will know what order to do them in. instead of doing em when someone asks you can go right down the line and wipe em out quickly.

There is a forum just for Trades, it's the Trading Post forum under the Mars Lounge forum.

When I go in to do trades, I always start at the bottom of the new replys and run up the list, so that I do process things in order of oldest to newest.  If I miss your trade, please feel free to bump it back up towards the top.
