I just hate when the same questions are asked over and over. This really bothers me, lol. Like just do a google search and you would've found your answer!

Dislike:
- No shop talk in chat box. (its like no sex in the champagne room). I can see where it would be problem with noobs asking questions in there but I think we all come here to talk shop.

- My sub expires in less than 30-days, that sux too...

Like:
- I love this forum template.

- All the things I learn here.

If I had to be critical, i'd say...

Dislikes
- Moderation has become too lenient, wasn't like this couple years back. However, understandable.

Likes
- The forum does the job. If you're looking to learn and know how to use the search function, it can work wonders. There's so much content. It just works.

Have to agree with this.

Under the listed benefits of subscribing it states "Live Forum Chat".

I don't think people subscribe so that they can tell the rest of us what they watched on television last night.

Think the issue with having shop talk in the comment section is that it will take away from the rest of the forum if it ends up being a 24/7 Q&A Session.

The essence of a forum IMO is helping others and sharing wisdom, and by having it in the forum section, someone who comes along few years later can do a quick search and learn. The same cannot be said if this all ends up happening in the chat box.

Furthermore the chatbox only shows name tags, so newbies won't know the credence of the other user who's helping them without vetting each users profile individually. There are some users here who spew nonsense, and you wouldn't want newbies taking away bad advice.

I just see lots of cons to this... but certainly something that can be trialled.

DISLIKE:

1. No shop talk in the chat box. There's literally just a handful of us that ever chat in there, anyway.

2. A moderator who threatens to ban people when they are disagreed with. I find this superbly infantile and self-aggrandizing.

LIKE:

1. The plethora of information that exists here.

Default Re: What do you dislike about the forum?

Dislike:

1.) No decent holiday decorations on the forum during specific seasons

2.) The Green color for executive/subscribed members

3.) The lack of a credit card section where everyone can give users ideas/methods on how to raise credit scores

4.) Lack of a section where users can pay a fee to resell items on a new marketplace

5.) The inability to delete threads/post

6.) A section detailing ways to make funds outside of auction sites

7.) A section where we can talk about whatevers on our mind

Dislike:

1) No shop talk in chat. I'm always thinking about shop and its convienent/enjoyable to discuss this with other like minded individuals on the fly...Although I do understand for the "greater good" of the forum discussing this in a thread A) reaches and benefits more people B) Benefits the Aspkin site as eccentric discussions are now achieved by web crawlers and grows traffic to the site. Although I still want to have the ability to talk with others in chat regardless...

I’ll do what I can with the new forum update.

1) certain members of the moderation team (inevitable, can't be fixed)
2) Moderation has become too lenient, wasn't like this couple years back. However, understandable.
3) A moderator who threatens to ban people when they are disagreed with. I find this superbly infantile and self-aggrandizing.

We’ll try to take a more relaxed approach.

I just hate when the same questions are asked over and over. This really bothers me, lol. Like just do a google search and you would've found your answer!

Its inevitable but I get your point. How do you think we can change that?

Okay, we can have shop talk in the chatbox. I personally won’t participate though. I originally decided on no shop talk for a couple reasons. One was to get away from shop talk all the time (for me personally); sometimes I need a break.

I’m skipping your post BL.

Cool! I’ll continue to work to make it better.

It just allow us regulars to ask a quick question amongst ourselves without fear of moderation, really. I don't see any negatives coming from it.

If a noob comes in with a question that would serve people in the future, we can always direct them to make a thread.

Like: Everything. The knowledge received here and executed on eBay has made me a fortune that I could only dream off a few years ago.

Dislike: None

While you're at it, would you take a feature that may be useful but does not currently exist?
Here: Rather than traversing Marketplace --> Accounts for Sale, wouldn't it be nice if buyers could declare their needs in a 'wanted' section under Marketplace?

Forum rules should permit only authorised sellers to contact buyers.

If implemented, this should save time and reduce the number of PMs buyers send to sellers asking for 'items' advertised on sales pages but not currently available or out of stock.
