I didn't notice that part of the rules before, but I'd love to see that rule enforced. Bitcointalk shouldn't just be used to advertised online shops that are most likely scams, at least the trades should happen on the forum.
That would definitely get my vote.
Here's an example. This totally scam thread won't go away.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;threads;u=1227343;sa=showPosts The low-life scammer who "owns" it comes back every few days and bumps it.
Does that mean using Selly and the myriads of other similar sites is prohibited in Digital Goods?
Yes, I believe those websites belong to the prohibited category.
Is it "technically" not permitted?
To an extent.
- Not sure but I've seen a lot of these types of threads remain for at least a week or longer
[I don't normally track such threads for a long time] and some might never get deleted if nobody reports them.
There have some that have been going strong for months and a couple for up to a couple years on Digital Goods until the TS got banned. Weird part is after the starter of that thread got banned the thread remained up. I wonder how the mods would handle that "rule" if reported.
