MyKy44, I appreciate your effort in making a Tshirt for our community, but commercial activity in subforums outside Trade Zone isn't permitted with the exception that the local mods there prepare for it (e.g. a pinned sales thread). This has been the way Lowyat.NET has been running for at least 3 years.

It's like this - you're not the only one who thinks that he has a terrific thing to sell and is doing a big favor to the forumers by selling it to them. The other 10000s of traders in Trade Zone think so too. What makes your Tshirt different from say, a seller selling laptops with a special discount for Kopitiamers? Since we don't have a standard way to measure how "community-oriented" a particular sale is, the easy way out is to force all sales to be conducted in the Trade Zone. Otherwise we open ourselves to being called out for hypocrisy and favoritism (happens too often ey ).

If you have any suggestions on how we can improve our policy, please let us know. Thanks!
