Ban threads asking for partners with money

[21217]

I've seen too many of these threads.
People are asking for an owner for their server which needs to invest like $500000 into it, yet the other owner INVEST NOTHING
This should not be allowed, cause the other owner should at least invest half.

Spoiler: Example

hi, i need a partner
i need you to invest 50k to my server and i can't invest
pm me to become my partner

Saphirus why you disagree?

Saphirus why you disagree?

Surely we should stop all invested threads then?

Investment threads are allowed, but going onto the "find staff" section and posting that shouldn't be allowed

Cause it's obvious because on investments you don't look for a partner which the partner get's X amount of money back?

Before I agree or disagree, does this suggestion exempt threads looking for partners to help pay? For example:

I'm the owner of xx, I will pay 50% if you pay the other 50%

or something along the lines of that?

Threads like that are allowed.

Doesn't mean all partner threads should be ban.

I never said that, I said only threads which the other partner pays nothing but requests huge amounts

So your expecting a staff member to check daily to and decide if the post is faulty or not. That's plain dumb.

You're plain dumb.
It's annoying looking every day on the forum staff section and seeing fucking people asking for 40k without investing anything themselves

It does not break any of our rules. If someone is foolish enough to go for an investment like that, it's their own risk. We're not here to coddle everyone. You do have to use a certain amount of common sense.
our mods are already plenty busy, no need to add more work when you can think for yourself.

Don't get but hurt. If your really that bothered just don't look at the section. Your pretty much asking one staff member to dedicate their time each day to delete a partner thread if it's asking for money. How could someone possibly make that decision if there are no set of guidelines and whatnot.

Do you understand what moderators do?
They moderate the forum. It's like saying "Mods shouldn't look at investments since there's too many of them"

They are moderators for a reason, to moderate the forum. They aren't moderators assigned to a specific section.

Yes, but I see no reason to add more work for them when you can simply decide to ignore their threads[DOUBLEPOST=1470565839][/DOUBLEPOST]

It does not break any rules, so I see no reason to ban them. It's just a ridic risky investment.

Well it's annoying and there's getting more and more of them. It shouldn't be allowed
