So i log into Torn everyday, and i check the trade chat to see if there is anything thats acquired to my taste. However its become a cesspool of repeated spam.
Its flooded with 7-10 lines of emojis, tinyurl links and a list of every item on the game(Exaggeration).
I get that people want to make some money or be recognised but its literally a race to see who can write the longest post and press CTRL+V the fastest.
As soon as their posts are not at the bottom(newest part) of the chat CTRL+V is pressed (or Tap and Hold).
It has become impossible to browse.
So i start scrolling right and boom 3 seconds in i brought straight back to the bottom because "Frank" over there wants to tell people he is buying Plushies, Energy drinks and all boosters. But dont forget his cheap prices and testimonials on Tinyurl.
Its also become impossible to post e.g "Looking for a job" or "Selling Company" or even "Anyone want to Buy a Revive" etc. Its just lost in repetitive text.
So my SUGGESTION is maybe either:
1. A 2-3 minute post cooldown
2. A max character limit e.g 100
3. A script that prevent exact same text from multiple users incase they try to pay users to post for them.
4. Or my favourite idea even a whole new sytem like the Bazaars except reverse. You fill it with Item Icons and Names of what you want to buy and also with your price. You could attach money to the Bazaar and people could come and get paid from the user automatically until the attached amount of money the user left in the Reverse Bazaar has emptied. Then they could log in after work etc and claim the items they have received.
This prevents links taking you from Torn and also gives an easier process to buying items in mass quantity without having to resort to the trade chat.
I want this to be a discussion and not an attack on my suggestion from active Traders.
Ive rambled enough.
