i also support - for easy reference - as all of us are aware precious metals trading is really the in thing nowadays

yes indeed.

both Gold & Silver threads are hot topic in that section.

I must agree that it has pros and cons for trading too such as scam etc. perhaps sellers can verify themselves with admin by providing details or IC to gain the safe trader tag to boost the confidence in here. might not 100% safe but we can help each other to assure the safety. start small first

I support this too!

Support !!!

what happen next if majority support?

wait Admins approval lo~

Where is my Lowyat Silver Sub Forum!!!! Give me my subforum~! im waiting~~ waiting...waiting... b(",)d ..support! support support

Are you asking for a subforum in Finance, Business etc or are you asking for a subforum in Garage Sales/Street Mart?

Added on October 15, 2011, 6:11 amWe don't decide these things on the basis of how many people you can gather to come and post 'support' here. Especially posts like yours when you have only made 1 other post relating to this subject last month.

Added on October 15, 2011, 6:15 amAdmins checking ICs is not happening. Quite honestly, neither is a subforum under Street Mart specifically for the sale of precious metals. There isn't enough trade in that area here - a quick search of Street Mart reveals that much. I could, however, give you a 'precious metals' tag and we can assess again in a year or so.

i support this idea. a subforum for precious metal (physical) on garage sale

its always there
but its up to buyers/seller responsbility to be on alert in this type of things
furthermore there are a section for complain in this forum

Hi RBR, Thanks for replying. well we basically requesting for a subforum in Garage Sales/Street Mart.

Sorry guys but don't think it's going to happen like explained by RBR. One can just create a topic in Street Mart general section and link your sales thread in your signature.

By posting in the discussion section, it will eventually caught the eyes of potential customers. However be reminded that discussion section is not meant for blatant advertisement although we do close one eye sometimes when it's minor.

wow! I can;t believe the amount of respond i get just for a simple suggestion.
i think for a start let create a sub-topic under finance & business discussion.
then as the traffic grow, then make a tag for sub-forum under garage sales.
in this way, it will be fair to both parties.

however, the moderator will have to make some exception that sale advertisement is allowed
under the sub-topic finance and business discussion.

Allow sale advertisement in forum discussion section is a big no no.
You get plenty of spam post, PM me, and lot of sales advert only, eventually the forum section become a pure ad place, and genuine people want to have good discussion will shy away those kind of place.

If exception allow in gold or silver topic discussion, then so does the rest from insurance, mutual fund or whatever.
We don't want finance section become a blatant sales section, it kills the entire section eventually, little people bother to go in to check the section, if it is full of advertisement only.

RBR suggestion tagging method in good enough as starting point.

But sub-forum in finance section for advertisement, is big no from me.

i got really negative from mod and admins.

seems like they don't want make this forum including trading precious metal widely. have to rojak our sales thread streetmart with other non-precious items.

forget about it. not really want to discuss anymore because i felt that i am treated like a child.

just focus in FB group enough

https://www.facebook.com/groups/284739938217191/

i did post in the silver forum regarding this fb group we made. since lowyat.net doesnt like d idea of giving us d sub forum.

anyway to cut story short, it seems my post regarding the FB group in silver forum seems gone missing..

mod or admin deleted it? may i know why?

i'm looking for all the coins, antique, precious metal, old stamps and all the rare item for a few hours.

i'm requesting for topic tags just like in Mobile Phones and Related Accessories which has like nokia, iphone, blackberry, mobile accesories, mobile number etc...

in hobbies and collectibles we'll have coins, currency notes, precious metals, stamps, toys, fugurines etc... hope the mods will consider this and everybody will get what they want
