    Well maybe the topic was irrelevant or the mods decided it was too spammed up. It's not that big of a deal.

    Because there is a place to post your trade lists.

    Am I going on about the right thing?

    Or perhaps you broke a rule, like posting your trade list in a thread, while we have a huge sticky thread for trade lists.
    All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
    I like watchin the puddles gather rain
    And all I can do is just pour some tea for two
    and speak my point of view
    But its not sane..
    I just want some one to say to me
    Ill always be there when you wake
    Ya know Id like to keep my cheeks dry today
    So stay with me and Ill have it made
    And I dont understand why I sleep all day
    And I start to complain that theres no rain
    And all I can do is read a book to stay awake
    And it rips my life away but its a great escape..
    All I can say is that my life is pretty plain...

    its just wierd because i see some threads on the forum that people have posted their list of games for trade. Also, if you read my post correctly im also helping others and offering my time into sharing my games. i did say im releasing and seeding any of the following to anyone, did i not. i guess its my mistake or my ignorance.

    The Trading Post (6 Viewing)
    This is the place to request and trade roms and ISO's, as well as to post your favorite romsites! There are no requirements here, so just have fun! And may luck be with you in finding what you need!

    Well, if you were posting your list along with an offer to seed some of what you have, I see no reason to close the thread. I'll take a look at it, and see what's up....

    EDIT: Eh, I'm going to leave it closed. This is an issue we need to work out amongst the staff. You are encouraged to post your list in the provided thread though, so use that until further notice, alright? Thanks....

    Thank you.

    hopefully administrators would look deeply into posts not just look at the title or something.

    Eh. The Watcher linked me to his thread and said it was supposed to be closed, so I just closed it, assuming he knew what he was talking about.

    The Watcher, maybe you should read posts before judging it and asking people doing a favor to close it. thanks.

    Am i not aloud to help others out? And maybe moderators can read the posts not just listen to other people.

    Ziegfried, you're the moderator, man. Use your best judgment as to wether or not something needs to be closed.

    As for myself, I'd have left it open, if only because he was not only posting his list, but freely offering up some of his games as well.
    The inevitable requests would've only served to have cluttered up the Trade List thread as I see it. And while in the past we didn't really regulate it, I'd like to see the Trade List consist of y'know, trade lists, rather then lists followed by page after page of requests.

    We deal with things on a case to case basis. At least we should. This thread brings up a good point, which is that rather then simply glancing at a thread and making an on the spot judgment, we as moderators should treat each case individually, and determine how to handle them as such.

    *Nod* You're right, of course. I should keep down on moderating in forums I don't have much experience with, I suppose. Oh well, no hard feelings, I hope, empir3? Splendid.
