I understand the concerns & issues people are saying. I originally thought it was too strict, however, after looking at in the long-term (When most everyone's onboard with it), it won't really be that complicated & should slow the rate of your FSOT threat shooting down the page or pages.
The issue about price drops, I think, is that some people do & will abuse it. What would be an acceptable amount of a drop to warrant it vs trying to skirt the system? I do see the point of having price drops, but 2 things should be considered.
1. Change is usually something most of us are not too sure of. So we like to stick with what we've been doing.
2. When most people are onboard with the new rules, the rate of your thread moving down the page(s) "should" slow significantly. Also, it just means that you should check the F/SOT threads more thoroughly to see if anything's changed (Added items, dropped prices, etc).
The biggest issue I see right now is people paying attention to the rules. I fully understand there are only so many Mods &, initially, this is alot of extra work for them. However, I think over time, it'll be easier to spot the violiations.
Interestly, I would think new members should have less of an excuse for violations vs older members. After all, if they're new, they should be reading the "current" rules, right?
The tough part is the honest ones that want to obey the rules are going to suffer (Watch their FSOT thread plummet) while waiting for the rest of the members to either read the rules &/or do the right thing & follow them.
I admittedly violated a rule a few days ago & just locked the thread. I haven't opened a new one yet, so I didn't gain anything from it, but do want to be part of the solution, as I do think we'll see less movement ONCE it's fully in place.
Of course, nothing's perfect & maybe there'll need to be changes, but for now, I see this as a plus.
