READ THIS OR ELSE!!!

We're not going to tell you what you can and can't trade. We just don't want you buying and selling things. Though I don't recommend you trading for non-gaming items.

[yoritomo]

So, over the past month several people have decided they wanted to buy things on the trade board. I thought I made it pretty clear that this is against the rules. This is a bannable offense.

If people keep trying to buy and/or sell things here then I am going to be forced to shut down the trade board. Please observe the rules so that you do not get banned or ruin part of the forum for others.

can u ask 4 someone to give u something 4 free

I have the strange feeling that it is the same answer as the following questions:

Can you use real words so you don't sound like an idiot when you post? And,
Can you follow the forum rules on posting l33tspeak/chatroom speak?

In reference to the thread title: Or else what?

Or else Yorimoto will suck all the life energy out of you and feed your biomass to The Hive Mind, ohm nom nom nom.

lol
its true though, he will

[randoman11]

Lucky I read it then

[fastkangaroo]

Stop rocking the boat guys, rules are there for a reason you don't buy and sell here simple, just leave it at that

[Frontier Guide]

Someone's got the cranks.

May I thank Yorimoto for allowing me to fix my post after I was daft enough to break these easy to follow rules.

Seems obvious how the restrictions work once you read the rules, stupidly I didn't do that! (even though it says READ THIS OR ELSE.. and I had posted on other proboards forums without mentioning monetary exchanges earlier that day!)

just goes to show how intelligence is variable according to sleep and hunger.

Ok, the rules seem to have evolved over the course of the thread, some more informative than others... Can anyone recommend where we can go to solicite non-business oriented *SERVICES* of a Hivish nature? I'd go more into detail but don't want to get accused of playing semantics. Thanks.

if GW wants my money then they can provide me somewhere to park my car that has working cctv, and preferably a fence of some description. or then can relocate the store to somewhere where there is less likelyhood of getting mugged for your smokes and looks less like baghdad after the american armed forces have paid a visit.

i'm not against GW, i just think they could have picked a better location unfortunately if the place goes under they prolly won't bother opening a new one (the store is pretty much deserted as it is), so 3 or 4 jobs are lost

sometimes i wonder if they truely are evil and do it on purpose.

what are you talking about? that sounds like a lovley location ;D

I think GW put a lot of thought I to that location. The parking lot and surrounding area sounds GREAT terrain. It would be very convincing.

I think you're going to have to come out and say what you mean - can't tell from this post.

Google things like "Tyranid bits" to buy bits, "miniature painting services" for commission painting or search Ebay for just about anything.

Perhaps if you want to trade something material for a service like commission painting that would be okay, since money is not changing hands, and it is perfectly acceptable to ask for something without having anything to trade yourself, as long as you make it clear to begin with.

Other "non-business related services" include what? Levelling a character in an online RPG? Disseminating information with inherent value to the recipient but not to the possessor? Engaging in non-profit related charity work on your behalf? Proxy gambling or stock market trading?

lol - I just didn't want to get into trouble with the mods for being "that guy" who's trying to skirt any rules.

Long story short - I find myself with so little time on my hands that even the most basic gaming requirments (like magnetizing and painting) is nearly impossible. For the first time in 10 years I got all my Nids together and noticed I have too many of some, and nothing is really 100% complete.

So I figured that I'd pay/trade someone to do it for me. I'm tracking the whole on-line business painting thing but what it comes down to is I don't want to pay that much. My models never see tournements to begin with and I am naturally suspicious of people I don't know (businesses).

The guy-with-exactly-the-opposite-problem as me is who I'm looking for. The ol' "kid from next door doing yardwork" thing. I preferably wanted to help someone specifically from the Nid community but didn't know how to go about it without someone thinking I was being sneaky.

So I'm pretty sure I can trade my excess models for painting/magnetizing service here, but can I solicite a fellow Nid player to do it for money? I didn't figure that was acceptable so I was asking for a reference somewhere else. All the no's deal with material objects for cash so I wasn't sure.

Edited for clarity (I think).
