I love how quickly a topic mood changes. It was a nice friendly chat with us putting out our OPINIONS, but then it turns into a punch up.

Yeah it was nice and friendly cause no one had an opposing view, once that happens everyone is angry. Can't control yourselfs or something?

When was the last time you saw a Pizza Hut flyer inside of a Sbarro? Do you see Windows 8 brochures inside an Apple store? Okay well then let's not "market" on other people's sales threads. That's their "store" not yours, and not a public place for you to "market"

This isn't brick and morar, first off marketing doesn't work like that cause when your in a store, you either go their for a reason or they draw you in. So Kinda is pointless to market inside a store. On a forum it is different, this is helping people make decisions. Can you please launch a company in the same space as me in month I would love to see whose will succeed and whose will fail. I can say my would be 100x better thans yours any day of the week just cause of marketing.

But this is how the free market works and we can't even exercise that here, it is up to the consumers to do research before and if we are giving them more options to look into, I don't see the harm.

It's always been that policy here, so since people are using this forum and not another, that would mean the free market has decided already.

I know it is the policy, and I know it is that the free market has decided about this forum. I am just saying it does hinder the free market.

Do me a favor take three pairs of Jeans from American Eagle or any store of your choice, go stand inside the Gap and try and sell them. Let me know the results of your "Free market" test.


You just told me to steal! WOW dude stop I am not committing crimes for you. Also this is the internet, very different. I think if my site is better than the site advertising that is my opinion until the free market decides. I don't see a problem with it ad on a another thread, about another service that maybe even better.

You're an idiot.

If a person starts a thread to sell or auction their belongings or services you shouldn't be trolling that thread and posting competitive products or services in that thread. That's what we are talking about. Go make a different thread with your product. Post it in your signature line etc. but do not troll competitors threads and market your products/services in their thread.

Think of a sales/auction thread like someone's store. You wouldn't go into someone else's store to try and gain customers and that store wouldn't let you advertise there. So stay out.

The thread starter can make it a self-moderated thread.  Problem solved.

I never said it wasn't allowed. I said it was rude and pretty shitty. not to mention insulting. However the moderator who posted here said it was "off topic" so I guess it's not allowed.

I said it wasn't allowed, I'm the moderator who posted here earlier as well. I was responding to gweedo's assertion that it's hindering the free market when we don't allow people to spam others business threads, when if you actually follow that train of thought to the end, it would actually be the result of a free market. 

I think you've been smoking too much of that free market chronic  Wink.

Dammmmnnnnn you Silkroad!!!!!!

Sounds pretty statist to me.

How so? Because we would like people to operate with some class? Some respect? It's only because this is a forum that allows users to post comments. In any other situation this would not be an option. If this were to happen offline and in a public setting I'm sure it wouldn't end well.

I used to manage a night club a long time ago and a competing night club sent there bouncers in to try and recruit our bartenders. You know what happened? I will tell you moderators, police, government etc had no part in the fact that the owner sent our bouncers to feed their bouncers their own teeth.

It is a free market, however this is not a public forum and when the OP has no recourse it's bullshit. Period.

LMAO I act the same way in real life as I act on this forum, I never had an issue. I also live in NY and we are the trolls of the USA so yeah. Also isn't threatening violence against the TOS of this forum so your the real troll here.

competitive product posts in other people's threads and items for sale posts.


I don't like this either, report it when you see it, it's off topic.

But this is how the free market works and we can't even exercise that here, it is up to the consumers to do research before and if we are giving them more options to look into, I don't see the harm.

No, I'm not advocating or threatening I stated that already though.

Oh and it's "you're" ...... See that is an example of trolling. When you have nothing better to say just attack.

I highlighted the part where you advocated violence.

Yes I would cause that is called a plan, you realized that internet companies do a lot worst but yeah no one cares. Free market welcome to it.

I stated I'm sure it wouldn't end well based on past experience of what I've seen. Further in thread I specifically mentioned that I wouldn't nor do I advocate violence. I forgot you live in NYC and everyone there clearly handles things calmly and professionally. You've never seen things like this "not end well"

It happens, many major companies have been found to post reviews about website claiming they are scamming or unreliable. It's a known fact that it works, and discourages potential buyers.

As much as I hate it, it's going to continue to happen.

Thank you gentlemen. I hope we all learned something from this, namely how easy it is to troll BTCTalk.

And thus the question becomes: Who is really the problem here? The troll smelling an easy target or the easily trolled target? I'd wager to say, the later.
