LFM Window becoming a Trade Window

There should be a way to report the LFM people and with enough reports from different accounts, they should be restricted from posting a LFM for a certain set of time.
The whole LFM turning into a trade channel is global and most unfortunate.

Actually....this has happened before and it was stated that this is reportable and people have gotten banned for it before. If my memory is correct this was ruled on as "harassment" and handled accordingly. Just report it and a GM should ask them to remove the LFM and if they refuse a bann should be on its way.

Haveing said that...this is how it was handled before so unless turbine has changed it opinion this should be how its still done.

I always report it as spam, especially now that there is a trade channel for that stuff

Which is in itself a horrible bunch of spam sometimes. At least its official though.

The trade channel should be global, I use the LFM to buy things only, not sell. Until I see mod confirmation that it is frowned upon, I see no reason not to do it.

The solution: Fix the auction house. Lower the 30% to 5-10% and make it more user friendly.

This is on Argo, although not to the extent that your screenie suggests it is on Khyber. Personally, I find it to be really obnoxious, but I do think a system like that needs to be implemented in game.

Sure, there is the Trade channel, but I like the idea of having a "message board" like the LFM but only for trades- so much easier that trying to negotiate whilst in a dungeon.

Most of the time, I send the player a /tell letting them know that they will likely have the LFM taken down by a GM-- quite honestly, most people respond kindly and tell me they didn't know it is frowned upon.

Will this work:

Concerning the use of the LFM windows as a classified section:

Reports on trades/sales in LFM should be reported under 'harassment' and not using the new spam feature.

Why should the auction house fees be lowered? One of the reasons for this fee is to remove plat from the economy. I am fine with 30%, if you don't like it you don't have to use it.

The user friendly part is currently being worked on.

It is agaisnt the rules and not reading and knowning the rules isnt a defense people have been banned and will be so in the future and should be.

They have said it before, and if someone reports you the GM will tell you to take it down. I know someone who got a 3 days suspension because his warning came while he was having a bio and in that 60 seconds they warned him, then banned him for not immediately taking it down.

Turnabout is fair play I suppose.
(j/k that's just silly)
In fact was it a joke? Was there an argument about /trade spam raging at the time?

As a matter of fact, yes, I believe there was - I remember seeing the same LFMs when I was on earlier, right after watching some e-peen waving in trade spill over into general chat.

[Nexx]

Maybe turbine needs to implement a TRADE tab and not just a trade channel, so these people can stop flooding our LFM with their flea market.

That's just silly. Why would a wiz/sorc wear rouge? You're talking crazy, man.

Because he wants to feel pretty?

Lfm be wrong place for such agreed, be a place for everything, 'sides bloody one should be more subtle in presenting a trade.

[Aussieee]

I don't mind people trying to trade that way, but when they try to recruit with LFM seriously makes me wonder if they turn anyone down or just blind invite.....
