To the people who complain...

about people who post here on this board the cards they have for sale. First it does not bother me one bit. If someone posts here a card that I have been looking for, for a very long time I would be very happy to see that post. I am sure the ones who complain would be very happy also to see a seller has the card they have been looking for. I don't see the problem. More of us check this board first and if the seller has a very sort after card for sale, it is first come first served.

it could get irritating if it turned into a mostly-spam forum, but i dont mind seeing some now & then for decent stuff..
Then there are the spammers who use ALL the message boards and type only in capital letters!!!!
...but this is OK?????? How about every third message!! would that be OK?????
Where does it end????
There are unobtrusive ways to post the tough or interesting items you may have for sale.

I totally agree - especially if it's a regular contributor who has some stuff he "knows" will be of value to other board members.
Here's the problem - as illuminated by Pandrews - many people don't have the time to wade thru the threads that 'turn out' to be purely spam - they're not always explicit in the thread title.
It would be better, perhaps, if all the top threads were things we wanted to read and contribute towards.
Having said this - I never saw the spam as a major problem here and if it were, I would imagine with a well placed email, the problem could be fixed - threads have been moved in the past.
I've been gone - is spam a problem here now?

Spam is never a problem if cooked properly.
No, spam has not become a problem.

Absolutely! There is a big difference between the post that blandly advertises about ones "new listings on e-bay" and the post about something very specific that the poster knows will be of interest to somebody who frequents this forum.

Be good my brothers.
As for this topic, I appreciate and respect all the opinions expressed. My main thing is as long it does not get out of hand I have no problem.

Very true. Although as you demonstrated in Greg's post on the Set Registry boards you're still compelled to complain about those as well.
There are forums dedicated specifically to advertising. This isn't one of them.
This thread however, I have a problem with. I was glad to see no one respond and the thread just sank and is on page 3 now. This guy obviously has a separate agenda being his id is his website and he's a dealer and doesn't post other than to tell us his "specials." This guy should get poounded as opposed to the new guy that just doesn't know the way of the board.

Then there are the spammers who find it necessary to respond to their own SPAM just to bring their SPAM thread back up to the top...................................
