This is a really good question! The forums have many rules that defy common sense. Their only purpose seems to be to give forum mods work to do. Forum mods can essentially make-up rules on the fly; most are never written down in an 'official' webpage. The forum moderation review thread is the place to complain, although you will not be successful as the depth of the 'reviewing' is hardly fair...

As for separating phat pc's from the other pc's, I do not support this, but would be interested in hearing others' thoughts at the session. I cannot see it being successful (remember other 'friends chats' used to price check GE rares, too), and it will only be confusing to 90% of forum users and fc users (I am imagining referring people with no forum experience to two different forum threads from ingame). Not sure it will be a significant improvement on what we have now tbh. But maybe we can try it for a while and see if it's better---no reason we couldn't go back to how things are now. (Unless there are unwritten forum rules I am not aware of :D .)


I completely agree!

But isn't it against Quark rules to criticise Forum Moderation?

Not on this thread, although I won't allow it if it becomes too negative. The point is that the fmods are there to try and make threads run smoothly. By criticising in the thread they're trying to fix, it derails the topic of the the thread rules. It's for the discussion of rares, (not people or actions) and arguing/criticizing generally causes more harm than good which is why we try to prohibit it.

In regards to forum rules I reached out to a few jmods with a few solutions to help make v42 and future less 'toxic'. It was regarding what they thought would be easiest to implement/how much power they would be willing to give moving forward. I should have a solution that we can implement without breaking any rules (or allowing exceptions to rules only for our case) by the time we have the next rank session. Of course it'll only be a trial that we'll have to reevaluate at the end to see how the time period overall turned out.

Was just informed by Shareholder that my trades are not taken into consideration because I'm a smiley rank.

I've never asked for a rank before because I never wanted to get mired down into drama (look at what motherland did) but always requested a smiley which Lyra agreed to many years ago.

Could I ask for a rank update so my hat trades are taken into consideration? I've reported honest, accurate hat trades for years and helped numerous times in range discussions as well. Can I have the lowest possible rank that allows me to report trades to be taken into consideration as "confirmed" trades?

I would never in future ask for a higher rank than the lowest possible rank for reporting.

Thanks,

Most trades are used in ranges unless person is kos and can't get proper confirmation, or the transaction is between someone and an alt with no credentials. Most, if not all, of your trades have been used in the past and likely will be in the future.

Sorry for not updating the rules properly on front page, we have a system in check for comps but once in awhile there is a trade or two that may or may not be used based on which admin/rank is compiling.

I said the smiley rank trades are not counted as rank trades. Not that they weren't taken into consideration. I also said that all trades that are confirmed properly, participate in the range compilation.

In regards to the rules being updated, is this still the case or has it changed recently?
If you need bulk items quickly, PM me ingame.
