Barter forums/ Marketplace forums?

[Dave Blake]

What do you guys think should we or should we not? If we do do we have any volunteers to monitor this forums as there will surly be more rule beakers?

I had a wee lookie at Android Central's marketplace, no immediate problems that I can see anyway.

Not sure if it's a good thing or not really Dave.

I guess if we establish that we are in no way, shape or form responsible for any transactions, then I wouldn't see why not. Originally, on CrackBerry, people thought we were the police and should mediate any time issues arose.

If we had them, I'd definitely monitor them.

I think I'm going to go for it there are a few reasons why I think this will be beneficial. I will make a strict set of rules that will include things like 50 or more posts required to post and you must include pictures. The rules will include something like post at your own risk WPC is not responsible for anything that goes on in this forum, this forum is provided for your benefit so use it responsibly. Hopefully that will keep the spammers out. I can set up the forum so you simply can not post in the forum unless you have 50 or more posts.

I think if handled correctly this type of forums draws attention. People like to shop if they cant find a barter forums here they will go elsewhere. If the forum is not popular I am okay with that because it at least gives us a place to put for sale type posts and a direction to send members in that don't qualify. I think that is a better alternative to closing and deleting posts. That just pushes members away from the forums and thats the last thing we want to do.

I'm going to wait till after MWC to open this forum we have enough to deal with next week I think.
