From time to time, most of us see a blaster on eBay that we rather want, whether it be a SS 300, CPS 3000, or something else.

It is understandable that in such a situation, ones who really want that blaster may post requesting others to "let them have it", or not to bid on that item.

However, on reflection, this can be seen to be slightly unfair on others who may also have searched long and hard for that gun. It could also lead to tensions in the forum if someone else saw the "no other bids please" notice, kept quiet, and then won the auction themselves.

Of course, if someone chooses not to compete of their own accord, without having been asked not to, that is all to the good, but is totally up to that person.

Therefore, we would ask all users to please refrain from making such requests.

At worst that was a mistake (which appears to either have not existed or was corrected). I also doubt that most will understand what you were trying to say - it took me a few minutes to realize that you meant "WTF mate?" which wouldn't be allowed according to our rules.

Apparently by filtering out certain things we only forced those who want to do such things to be more creative.

That post is a prime example of spam and is scheduled for deletion along with this explanation post. I would like some to read this and realize what we consider spam.

This topic is also locked to prevent further spam. It was only an announcement and should have been locked in the first place.
