Marketplace Regulation

[kiba]

I will be tagging forum topics with [BUYING] and [SELLING] tags to make it easier for forum users to navigate.

You are welcome to object to this policy if you feel it is a bad policy, etc.

I tag my own with [WTB] or [WTS] because it's shorter and more of the title can fit on the main page under the "Last post" section of the forum.

Might be a bit more difficult to understand to non-native English speakers.

How about [BUY] and [SELL]?

I can do that from now on.

Or maybe just

Code:

[B] / [S]

or even

Code:

That's nice too.

Truthfully, I don't care as long as it's shorter than [BUYING] and [SELLING].

[kiba]

Ok, from now on, I will tag non-complaint thread with [BUY] and [SELL].

[dust]

What about separate child boards for buying and selling?

WTB and WTS seem less ambiguous than BUY and SELL.  If a thread says buy, it could mean the OP wants to buy something, or that people can buy something in the thread.

Also my [FS] selling thread just got a [BUY] put on it so I changed it to [SELL] 

[Inaba]

Umm... yeah, WTB and WTS are definitely more standard than "BUY" and "SELL" which are, as has already been said, ambiguous. 

Double extra downvote for BUY/SELL. 

Upvote for WTB/WTS

Why don't we simply have a "buying" and "selling" section..? It will save you hours of pointless categorization.

[fabianhjr]

Another reg, LEG for Legitimate offers. And GREY or GRY for the ones that have certain legality/ies issues.
I am also upboat the notion of a Buyers and Sellers subforums.

That's a good idea.

A waste of time since the bitcoin forum prohibited the selling and buying of black market goods in one own's country.

[theymos]

I created subforums.

Topics will remain in the outer marketplace section if they don't fit neatly into one of the subforums. For example, an announcement of a new exchange would go in the outer section.

Not really, I mean stuff that might have some cultural conflics, like porn, warez, "Terrorist Cookbook", etc. Or is otherwise not school/collage/work safe.

a) Everything has cultural conflicts.

b) For some people, porn is work-safe.
