Disallow the use of this, it makes the forum(s) spammy

In the Configuration section you will find this a lot:

offender SimplyTrash


It just makes it look spammy and pushes people who only have one thread for everything, This is what the resource section is for, to have individual resources for Configurations, build etc. And then this happens. It shouldn't be allowed in any of the sub-forums.

Examples of other sub-forums:

offender zPoseta

offender Vikram

offender Diced Hosting

offender Penzzly LLC


For staff for a company, one thread should be all they need, and for Configurations or setups that are PRE-MADE should be a resource.

I agree that you don't need a separate recruiting thread for every position. however, for other threads, bidding would get confusing if you're having 20 people bidding on 5 different things, so separate threads make sense.

This is more aimed at the people who use 25,000 threads for the same subject, but I get what you mean by the bidding as that would get ugly quick, like seen in some of the Minecraft Accounts.

It does look spammy however they are all separate advertisements. If they were each individual companies posting them, there wouldn't be a problem.

For advertising there is literally no reason for it. For configs and resources the dedicated "resource" addon should be used.

Obviously, for accounts etc it would be stupid as too much would go on.

If users prefer to keep all of their threads (especially recruitment) ones separate and independent from eachother then I don't see why we shouldn't allow them to do so. There are definitely advantages to keeping the products or services or requests separate from eachother.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.
