For those old school people using the Trader Forums you will notice a slight change in how the threads are handled. For the new folks this will make sure you understand the rules of the trader forums.

Now when you submit a thread you will notice this in the description:

All new threads will be moderated by staff prior to posting. This will cut down on any errors prior to posting, as well as problems with threads being derailed till someone gets the information needed correct.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask here, and thank you for your support of the PCApex Trader forums! Now go sell something!

Good idea, staff. Sucks that you all now have to do more work up front, but I guess it will save problems later.....

Will we get a PM if we do not have the required Info?

What about Free stuff? Would I still need an ISP if I am giving away stuff for free?

All posts in the trader forums have to follow the rules.

Great idea!
I think it will increase the trust level that newcomers will have in the site, encouraging growth in that section of our forum. Thus helping pcApex grow!

What if we do not have an ISP email address.

I do not know of any ISP that does not provide email addresses as part of your internet access. Do you?

No, but I do not know what my address is, password, ect. In the 6 years with our provider we have never used it.

What email have you been using? Or better yet PM me the details.

I can't even imagine how much "Please read the rules, need ISP email address and prices" this will save. Good Idea.

Agreed, I have seen a recent surge of such problems.

I would have to think you have User name on ISP start page.Jo

Hey foe I dont have an isp email either. The reason is I actually dont directly have an isp... my apartment complex has wifi that we all get as part of our lease (we give them our mac addresses so other people cant get in for free)... so I just am on their network and dont have an actual ISP. I dont have plans to sell anything soon soon, but just wondering what i could do as an alternative, or if i just have to list stuff on ebay instead?

This also means no more Trolls though.....I had so much fun with there addys too. That really made my day when one slipped up here with there garbage and Foe gave us there addy, only memories now.

Serious note though good idea!

If you go to college though you have an email through the University. If you want to PM that to me for verification purposes when you want to post a sale thread then that will work fine.

O yeah good call there foe. I definately do have a University email address. Thanks.

Maybe this was part of the overall moderation idea, but if not, perhaps it wouldn't be a bad aside for it...

It has happened a couple times recently, and I don't want folks to get the wrong idea, but think about it for a second... If you have an active thread (at least a post or so in the last 24-48 hours), why should you impinge upon others who have something they'd like to B/S/T by creating a second or third or even fourth additional thread? Combining the multiple threads into one would certainly allow other folks to have a crack at the top of the front page...

Once a thread is complete, the original thread starter would be required to contact a moderator/admin to have the thread locked, and modify the original title to "SOLD", or something to that effect. Locking the thread would allow it to sink to the bottom, and allow others to rise and be seen.

Having the threads moderated will also cut down on anyone trying to double post the same items, over and over.

In separate threads each time? OH HALLE-FREAKIN'-LLUJAH!!!!

I also have the problem of not having an ISP email address because of the fact I dont pay for internet, a friend of mine does and he routes it to me. I have my highschool adress for verification but I dont know if that will suffice. Hit me up with a pm please, Foe
