Think someone reported it as off topic. I left/ignored it as it was boderline but another mod must've felt it was appropriate to delete.
was quickseller's post needed? does the fact that it is on topic mean it is not spam?
that's not just a spam. he said that it is too expensive for him. people will interpret that as "lower the price a bit and I'll think about it"
you want to see spam?
this guy just made 20 post in less than a hour, and he's not even wearing a sig.
when you see a post that you think is a spam. report them. there's no need to reply to that post without contributing to the topic. or if you did, edit that post and add something valuable
So why didnt he just ask for a lower price? did he have to put in 3 lines into it, just makes me think he is trying too hard to make his posts look constructive
So according to you merely asking for a lower price wouldn't be spam, but because he wrote three lines including stating that he'd be interested if it was lower that suddenly makes it spam?
You could ask was your post really needed too? If a post is on topic then it's generally not spam (and QS's was on topic).
so on topic means it is not spam?
someone opens a thread about tomato seeds and you come talking about spinach, dont worry, both are vegetables so no spam here right?
What the hell are you talking about. I don't see how this is relevant. It's like someone opening up a thread selling tomato seeds and QS says he will buy them but for lower and you coming in and off topic asking if he's going to buy them.
Oh, and double posting is unnecessary and considered spam. You can edit them into one post.
Then why dont you guys take a page out of hack-forum's book and combine posts automatically?
how about this "I will buy if price is lower" his sig manager may says that that post doesnt deserve money but, expand that into 3 unnecessary lines and you will surely get paid for that post, do you see where i'm aiming at?
