How long has it been ?

[Peter Hartwig]

Thread comments have always been frowned upon.

When I 1st joined, I made what I considered "innocent" thread comments in a few sales thread, which got reported and for which I quickly got head slapped for doing. So, I stopped doing it.

Just pointing out that the like gave them an outlet, they now won't have. Sure all will work out one way or another

From the rules of the Exchange:

1. Do not post in a person's thread unless you have an implicit interest in buying the item. Posts like, "Nice knife!", "Why is the price so high/low?", "I wish I had funds" are not allowed. This means absolutely no commentary or feedback in someone's sales thread. Seriously, if you stomp on someone's ad, your account can and will be locked. The only exception to this is in the Knife Makers Market areas (if the maker/craftsman requests and welcomes feedback). Save questions and offers for email rather than cluttering the thread.
2. Malicious Buyers will be permanently banned from the forums. Repeatedly flaking on deals and buying items only to turn around and complain is also not a good idea. Don't waste our time.
3. If you must back out of a deal, it is YOUR responsibility to communicate with the other person WHY you are unable to complete the transaction. Make sure this happens BEFORE any money or items have been exchanged. Problems should be attempted to be resolved between the persons involved, before Feedback threads are started.
