erect the impaler ... why excessive bumping is bad for your sales

[zingo]

In this thread, you'll see example after example of what happens when people try to game the WF SBT section.

The purpose of all these bans is not simply so I can be an ass, rather it's important for our community to showcase respected sellers on page 1 of all the SBT sub-forums so members can find the services they need quickly and painlessly. This is impossible to do when newcomers bump their sales thread over and over ... so I impale the offenders and leave their rotting carcasses at the gates of the city as a warning to any noobs.

To clarify, we love new services but we hate idiots. Use common sense when selling your products & services and you'll be fine.

Original OP:

The buy, sale, trade section of this forum has been flooded with a bunch of kiddy cocksuckers from DP and WaFo ... they shut these clowns down on those shitty forums and now WF is there haven (not any more!).

There are some good services in the B.S.T but good luck weeding through them, glad I picked out the goodies before this shit started or I would have never found them. They just love bumping there own threads over and over if no one wants there bullshit.

The post count needs to be raised or something before they can even post there, or banns need to happen for not following the rules.

The fury of god needs to be unleashed on them basically :angryfire:

Not even kidding, I had a dream 2 nights ago about how I got promoted to mod status and given a ban hammer and I went to town on all the one-post-wonders asking for free reviews and the DP clowns posting their 'services'

Yeah it is quite annoying, but I think most of us here know by now that reputation actually means something and we also look into something before jumping into hiring someone. Still, it is a pain in the ass to see them flooding the section and hurting legit service providers.

You and me both.. I would love beat the shit out of them with a bann hammer..

Pain in the ass yes.. I dont spend as much time there anymore as I end up getting too pissed off.... lol

It seems like there is a small team of them (maybe in the same office in india) that bump each others treads and say "great job" to each other.. Makes me want to kick my poor dog. I am having DP flashbacks and may need to see a shrink soon.

I concur. The BST should be for NON noobs only. Maybe have a requirement to start a thread in that section.

I agree, a bunch of fucking "free review" beggars. I have considered making this thread at least 5 different times.

You should have a handful of people like bofu and maybe guerrilla or something be the official reviewers. In exchange for their review services they get a fuck ton of free shit and we get less idiots trolling for free reviews.

 

[erect]

Link me, I've got a hammer that's beggin' for some blood

The problem is this ... SBT is waaaay too big for a moderator to troll. I rely on feed back from you guys. I can promise that every PM I've gotten has been followed up on .. but the injuns are way out numbering the cowboys on that part of the board.

Now we've got a thread ... put your direct links to their posts below and I'll start cleaning house right meow.

People I'd love to see banned:

1. <100 posts demanding review copies
2. fraudulent bumping
3. fraudulent itraders
4. copy/paste sales pitches that call us warriors
5. sales threads with > 3 bad reviews
6. anything with rainbow font

How about the little report button, you don't have access to those?

Always wondered who is dealing with reported posts...

The problem is the same people get free reviews over and over, and usually are compelled to write shitty, 2-3 sentence reviews akin to "this service is awesome, thanks!" The same people also constantly get reviews and have so many on their plate that it takes them a while to post, if they ever do at all.

I will be the first to do the needful. My business got down since these DP fuckers have started bumping their threads. Within 10 mins my Sales Thread would be in the 2nd page. What the Fuck? I love to see a real business platform in WF, not a moron bunch of DP cheap/newbie sellers who call themselves "SEO professionals" when they don't really know what SEO stands for..!!

That's why there should be an official team of reviewers. People who will leave honest reviews and couldn't give a fuckk less about the providers feelings or income.

I personally like bofo's reviews. They always seem to be pretty in depth and honest. Same with guerrilla, grindstone, and a few others. Though I think guerrilla may be a little too polite on them sometimes.

I take days away from WF sometimes (last week for example) ... having everything in a thread that's going to show up in my cpanel is so much easier IMO. I don't go through and read all the reports because other mods have usually taken care of most of them. SBT will always be my babby ... it's nice having a place to buy useful shit.

This is the goal. A market place looses it's value when it becomes oversaturated with useless shit. WF is close to a free market & I am government regulation ... hire a lobbyist and buy my vote!

Same with guerrilla, grindstone, and a few others. Though I think guerrilla may be a little too polite on them sometimes.

Link me, I'd jump at the chance to ban guerilla for a week ... enough pussyfooting around with reviews!

iKid obviously, but no review should be sugar coated just because it's free.

 

[projectv3]

itd be cool to have a BST section for members with posts > xxx and then sellers who are looking to post can be vouched in if they don't meet the requirements etc.

 

[zingo]

erect..

I spend a lot of time in that area, would be glad to help anyway possible...

We need:

1. Post Count to be increased or rule about no BST posting with below certain number.

2. Solid reviews for any new service before they can peddle there ware.

3. Possibly have a link to report the offenders or send p.m to you?

4. All basic rules to be followed or instant ban no questions asked.

5. IQ's above room temp or no post at all

6. Ban guerilla for a week just for the fuck of it (and free DFB for 2 months for all with over 600 posts)

 

[matt3]

1. submit rainbow thread
2. nudge buddy in diagonal cubicle to claim free review
3. "sorry guys, all free reviews gone quick time"
4. ZOMG, best service in world!
5. profit

It's the same shit all the time. I like some people's reviews, but the people who are most credible are way to slow as they have better things to do.... I don't wanna wait a week to order, and there's many threads where "respected reviewers" just never comment.

There is another option... instead of bothering with the cess pool, pull qualified providers out and make a legendary service thread.

 

[Hellrot]

A review outline would be nice, specific points the reviewer needs to cover.

Less talk and more blood

This isn't congress, it's a fucking execution
