I remember on the old forums that you were only allowed to post 3x/week in the ISO:FT area. Albeit, I think that this was too few, maybe 4-5 would be more acceptable. However, due to the fact that we can post as many times as we want, I don't people are really thinking as hard about their trade offers. They just throw whatever up there, and hope something sticks. Ill be the first to admit that I have fallen into this a few times, remembering that I used to really think about what I was posting because I knew I could only post 3x/week. Granted I have been trading for <1 year, but I just wanted everyone's thoughts. Cheers! Mike
Don't miss the restriction at all, though I rarely post more than one or two per month. People who post dumb trade requests now were going to do it anyways, & I just don't bother to read their posts. The removal of the limit has had zero effect on my quality of browsing.
I don't think its ever not been transparent. Just from a couple BMs trying to strike down a deal if not from the original offer, you can tell who you don't wanna deal with...at least I can.
I think it's less about the limit and more about the huge influx of noob traders we seem to have gotten with the new forum. People aren't trying to get their feet wet anymore - they're just coming in with guns blazing and shooting for the moon on every new release they score on shelves. Thus a lot of stupidity in ISO/FT.
