@ Tranquilty - The thread's author started the discussion of whether or not the users of the thread would like to see the "new rare" included in the thread or not. While it is not strictly 'reporting trades', it is the best place to ask the question to ensure that it is seen by the users of that particular thread. It is not really a discussion of what people think of the new hat, (there are other threads doing that), but whether or not to include it on that price status thread once it is discontinued.
The Chat Lounge thread that you suggested is more for casual conversation and community building, rather than discussion about a single thread.
As the question about including the new discontinued item on the thread was asked by the thread's author and it is likely to be a topic for only a limited time, it will be allowed.
