Marketplace Prefixes....
I'm just wondering is this community is interested in starting to follow some simple topic name rules, to make it easier for everyone to find what they are looking for...
WTS: = Want to sell
"WTS: 10 Iron ore"
WTT: = Want to trade
"WTT: my 10 Iron ore for 100 logs"
WTA: = Want to auction
"WTA: 5 snake skin"
PC: = Price Check
"PC: 1 iron ore"
AD: Ad for shops and stores...
"AD: Pandemonium's Circus of Deals"
LFH: Looking for Help
"LFH: Getting Bone Knife"
These are What I've seen used in other game communities and it helps out a lot. They are simple to the point and can reall save time for everyone.
What does everyone think?
Pan
Regardless if this is ever followed I'll be sticking to it out of habit.

Re: Merketplace Prefixes
Really? No one has a comment about this? at least a Flame... or even a senseless browbeating.... Be a lot better then being ignored...
Re: Merketplace Prefixes
How much more easier can things get? We aren't cavemen anymore.. 
Just kidding. But I don't think everyone would follow it anyway and I would probably forget to do it sometimes myself.

Re: Merketplace Prefixes
If you logged in to the market and everything had said prefixes... It would be easy to remember.
Just read a few pages in the market forum... some are so veg as to what they are buying or selling... I'd like to see the thread titles to have a bit more direction... as it is now, it's like driving in a different country and trying to read the road signs...
All it takes of a tiny bit of thought when typing your thread title. tiny bit... you could even view it as saving seconds of precious typing time...
WTA Clover
Auctioning Clover
the prefix is '7' Seven letters faster/shorter...(just being facetious)
Thank you for the reply!

People would also have to remember these.
That wouldn't be too hard, I know, but honostly:
"Auctioning Clover" looks a lot better than "WTA Clover".

Re: Merketplace Prefixes
the way it looks is personal preference... And we all have a different preference... I'll agree that full words 'LOOKS' better, but does nothing to clean up the look of all the thread titles in the market forum... (if its about looks... I have a medium level of OCD and we can debate a more bothersome thread title system that will look fantastic!!) I was hoping for more uniformity.

This is one of many communities that uses this... (I don't play there any more, lost interest in the game after 10 years.) the prefixes are hardly enforced by staff and only a few new people forget to use them, but they catch on or end up quitting so its no big deal.
You can see by just checking prefixes you can look at only the stuff to buy or what people want to buy... or what ever you happen to be looking for.
Thanks again

Re: Merketplace Prefixes
Marketplace forum looks pretty clean to me. But I guess that's personal preference again, huh? 
And right now things may look vague, but if people chose too, you can be more specific with detail with full words, etc, than WTS, WTB, WTA, etc.
Not to mention staring at a whole list of those could hypnotize you and cause you to fall to sleep.

The Graphics forums has these rules to keep stuff organized... (been peeking in there... I might be able to lend a pixel or two.)
I think our small debate is about to repeat, but I'm really happy to see you came and gave me feed back
