Suggestion title: Separate sub-forum for offsite trading
Suggestion Summary: The creation of a sub forum for offsite trading threads to go, where users could organize trades for ds game pokemon, CS, Flightrising or any other game that allows offsite trading.
Positive points:
- It helps keep the trading forum organized and creates a place for users to look for offsite trades.
- There's only one trade shop per user and it could get a bit chaotic running essentially two shops in the same thread.
- It could bring in some new players from other sites. Most PFQ users aren't offsite trading, but if they start and they advertise for offsite trades with PFQ on those sites, it could be free advertisment. (Of course that ones more hypothetical, but it could happen)
- I could give a list of websites that don't allow offsite trading to the staff to pin on top of the forum
- Some popular sites that have used this effectively include: Chickensmoothie.com and Flightrising.com, I believe wajas and ayways does as well based on what my friends have told me, but I'm not 100% sure on those. I've been on CS for almost eight years and there's never been a problem with the offsite trading forum and it helps unclutter the already messy trade forums.
Negative points:
- I'm not sure how difficult it is to create a new sub-section in the forums, as I'm not a website coder myself, but that's one of them
- With any offsite trading there's going to be scamming, but that could happen without the sub-forum put in place as well.
Reason for consideration: Myself, as well as a few others, we're interested in trading PFQ currency for ORAS/Sun/Moon pokemon and weren't sure where to make a thread and I thought this could be helpful in the future.
Thank you for the consideration! ^_^
