Sorry, but you may only reply to your own post once per day in each of the trading forums. Please go back and edit one of your previous replies if you need to post additional information.

WHAT?!?

A customer replies to me, and I'm not allowed to reply back to my customer.

LAME!

You would rather me lose business, and turn off possible customer because they don't get replies (and consequently think negative of me and of this site in general)

Just because I'm not allowed any communication on my own topic of which I have created based on forum rules.

your 'customer' is not going to check your list to see your reply. Private Message them. there is a button to do that, right between 'mail' and 'im'. lrn to use site before you bash it.

What's going to lose you business is using the worst possible method to communicate with people on this site. You've have two significantly better options in email and private message on here alone.

And failing those, posting on the list of the person who left you the message on your list is infinitely more useful than somehow hoping that someone is in the .000001% of people who would even think of going back to someone's list to see if they responded.


edit: Now that I think about it, how silly would a customer have to be to get mad about you not responding even if that were somehow a good form of communication? If the rules limit that, how on earth would someone have a negative feeling for you over doing something you're not able to do in the first place?

The reason you are limited to posting on your list once per day is that since that bumps it to the top of the forums, we would have people posting every 30 seconds, which would drive people nuts and overload the server.

Generally people use email or the private message system for communication.

Imagine you put an ad in the newspaper, advertising a car for sale. If someone wanted your car, wouldn't it make more sense for them to call or email you? Would you really want them to post an ad telling you they wanted it? Then you could post another ad responding to them, and so on.

I really would like you to cool off in general. I've seen multiple posts from you talking about how terrible MOTL is. It seems more like you just don't understand how to use it. Please reconsider your antagonistic stance, because if I see you talking about how terrible MOTL is, or how stupid the rules are or whatever, I will ban you.
