More Thread Prefixes in Premade Builds & Currency Conversion

[BucketOfSloths]

Now that Builds section is Premade Builds I think it definitely needs the [Shop] header.

Currency Conversion could definitely benefit from the [Selling] and [Buying] tags, it would be much easier to filter with the click of a button rather than scrolling through and having to look at the different formats such as "Buying" "Selling" "Giving PayPal for BTC" "[H] [W]" all that stuff.

With premade builds we force users to select a thread prefix, either buying or selling. If you're selling premade builds through a shop you can make it through a prefix selling and then all selling threads will be in one place and all buying threads will be in one place, rather than being split between 10 different prefixes.

I see your point, however a shop prefix may still be useful. Buying for those requesting a build, selling for those selling a build and shop for those that are selling several builds over and extended period.

Buying and selling threads are likely to open then fairly soon after be closed again, since the person has either bought or sold the build they want. A shop thread is different, those threads are likely to be open for several months if not longer. Since the seller is likely selling none exclusive builds and will keep restocking their shop with new ones. A shop prefix would help to define the difference between one of builds, and shops.

What about a buying and selling section, and in each, a subsection for shops and 1 time things?

Way too much of a bother for builds.


I just simply want the 'shop' and 'free' tags back. Shop is perfect for if someone is looking to buy multiple builds, while 'free' allows us to skip people asking for free stuff (Which WILL happen, always) while simultaneously allowing for the sharing of the occasional free build (say, someone posts a thing on PMC with download).

I'm planning on redoing the thread prefixes that we offer to have more consistency between all product and services forum, so I'll move this to pending to be implemented when I do redo prefixes.

Thanks for the suggestion BucketOfSloths. If anyone's got any more feedback for how they want prefixes to be please reply to this thread, I'll unlock it.

For the premade builds I suggest adding exclusive and non-exclusive tags

Instead of using thread prefixes, we're switching to use our new filtering system. The new filtering system is not going to have a filter for shops/individual products though, and I don't see how that could be practically beneficial to our users.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.
