K, i was on A4F which is basically a giant POS. But i did see one thing i liked, on their trading post. they broke it into 3 categories (ref for ref; ref for $, and ref for etc). If they did that at FiPg it would seriously clean the clutter out of the Trading Post here, and help people find trades and shit quicker.

Surprisingly, for something from A4F its a good idea.

This has been suggested before. To make more forums wouldn't clear the clutter, it would only make more forums, meaning more forums to manage.

If they were made into sub-forums, the Admin has stated that the phpbb hack/mod for sub-forums is somewhat tasky and with him being busy with school and whatnot, it's difficult for it to be done since he does it all himself.

We try to enforce the CASH OFFER icon rule consistently. If you are looking for ref-for-cash trades, only view threads with the CASH OFFER icon.

Otherwise, you can assume that a thread is soliciting ref-for-ref trades.

Sadly, not many follow that rule.

you should make the icons more specific, by that i mean taking away the SPAM and the !#%#$% ones and the useless ones. Also, make it so that you have to choose one of the IMPORTANT icons before you post the thread..

I'd say compliance is upwards of 80%. I don't lock threads any more, but I do PM people and ask them to edit their posts.

The icons' usage isn't limited to The Trading Post, so some of those you mentioned have applicability in other areas of the forum. But perhaps we can explore a hack to force users to characterize their trade offer with one of the trade-specific icons.
