Very shortly I will be changing the permissions on the Fish Market forums. Going forward, members will no longer be able to post a reply in any threads. If you are interested in an item, contact the Seller via PM. Anyone can create a new thread, but then only you will be able to post. If enough people contact you via PM asking the same question, you can update your thread with that information, but no members (except the OP) will be able to create a post in the thread.
Why am I doing this, you ask? Because we tried just having a rule for No Discussions in the Fish Market, but there were still discussions. We were pretty lenient on this until discussions turned to aggression. Then we tried requiring everyone to agree to a basic set of rules (including NO DISCUSSIONS) in order to post in the Fish Market, but there were still discussions that led to aggression. Then we started issuing infractions for discussions, but since we are human beings and not machines, some got missed, and people complained that there wasn't consistant and fair treatment across the board. So...that's where we are now. And my only options are to 1) remove all possibility of having discussions in the Fish Market, OR 2) shut down the Box. I'm going to go with option 1 for now.
Expect to see this change sometime this evening or tomorrow.
Thanks.
