Pls stop using this forum for purges, trades&sales

Posted 2 years, 1 month ago (Edited 1 year, 5 months ago) by Internetwolfje

Okay newest edit, I’m bumping this because the amount of trade posts I see here is insane! Just stop! Use the adoption center! It exists for a reason! 

Edit: This post also includes the freebie tags and category!
Making this thread because I see a growing trend here on the forum. 

Onto the actual thread. Why should you not put purges into the freebie forums? Simple... they aren’t free. That’s it. Easy as that. 

Edit: I honestly think that no one should be posting any offers on a post in the freebie threat at all! If there are offers in the comments on your post in the freebie forum, then it clearly belongs in the ‘adoption center’ forum, not the freebie forum! 

‘But I have a couple freebies in the purge!’ So? Why not make a seperate post for the freebies and post the rest of the purge in the adoption center and simular tags and forums? This thread is for character games and freebies! Not promoting sales and purges! 

’But it’s hard to sell and trade characters in the other forums and tags!’ So? It’s hard for everyone. Does that give you the right to break the rules? Besides you could always make a post about freebies and promote your sale at the bottom of the thread. Your entire post should not be about your purge, but you can always make a little promotion (like a link to a different thread). (Edit: With advertising I mean a link to a different post, there should not be offers on a freebie post!) 

Start using this forum for what it’s supposed to be used! I’m done seeing people not giving a care in the world. I’m sure I’m not the only one annoyed by this. People come here for free ocs, if they want to spend money or trade characters or give art then they will look at a different forum. 

Editing this thread since I see a growing trend in trades here. Pls remember trades (both character and art trades) are not free! 

Another edit: a lot of people use the ‘Freebie Bin 2.0’, the ‘a little advertisement is okay’-statement I made does NOT count on that thread! The rules specifically state not to promote sales or trades!!!

I’m just a little salty today 

Feel free to share your opinion with me ^^

(Looking for freebies? I have a tent freebie purge here

(I actually have a whole thread about all the issues I see on this forum and on freebie tags. You can find it here: https://toyhou.se/~forums/13973.character-games-freebies/268914.problems-in-the-freebie-community-a-psa-)

LMAO pls the amount of times i wanted to ask for a character and realized they were an ota in a purge folder ASJKNJKAF absolute pain

I agree with this SO MUCH. I’m so sick of looking for freebies only to find it’s a giant advert for their sales and trades and they have one freebie that’s a raffle or sm. 

Death_Rose_Mayes

This. 

You are so right! 

Ugh, it's frustrating to see all those purge posts, only because people can't wait. You only have to wait to receive an offer in the adoptable forum. Also DTA aren't free if you ask a draw of a character of yours, like you have said in the other post! People continue to make that and it's really unfair.

Honestly  yes, if you wantto advert your sales thread in the post as a liink i dont see the hurt in that but not the whole post ;.;  same with tags , i look up freebies so i can find freebies [or at times linearts] and though i will click through purges sometimes normally thats not what i want to see.
