apparently its external site so regardless they remove em. just do it via pm i guess :)

Humie can answer?




So some time ago I was trying to bring awareness to our community the fact that there is a trade site (official from the game developers themselves, part of the website you register for poe) in order to help us have a more informed player base but was given a 1 hour timeout for "linking outside websites"

Sure technically it's an outside website but it also technically is part of the game

So my question to the humies is if I just was unlucky with a mod or does jsp truly consider the trade site for poe/poe2 (again I must mention OFFICIAL) not part of the game experience for playing path of exile?

mods dont think, so appealing to logic wont work :wacko: becoming a mod requires donating, linking and group thinking (i did not intend that to rhyme <_< ). ive seen people literally copypasting their way to trusted tag by linking shit in general help. think of mods (not just on jsp, on any site) as a political party: they have no personality but instead behave as instructed, and if theres 100 of them and one raised hand for something, you can bet that the other 99 will raise their hand as well. i have NEVER seen a mod disagree with other mod about a decision, so expect this to happen every time


i guess in this case jsp sees the official trading site as competition, and competition is bad for business :mellow:

I have my suspicions on this as well, my first thought was one of the traders here is amongst those mods lol

But who knows, I still think we should be allowed to link trade site (to literally has a system for interaction between the trade site and in the game)

what can i say brother, i agree with you...unfortunately it doesnt matter if i agree with you because people who outrank us dont :(

the worst thing is that a mod wont even give you his reasoning ("his" under heavy quotation marks), you will just get an authoritative sounding response in passive tense ^_^



"links to outside sites are not allowed"
"this topic shall not be discussed further"
"if this behavior is repeated, actions shall be taken against your account"

shit like that :lol:

Oh well, at the very least they keep things cleaner as compared to no moderation so whatevs. The unfortunate side effects is we keep getting ignorant players constantly posting trash due to the fact that they simply didn't know any better

Or worse is be sold trash for eye gouging prices
