Bargain Center: discussion, gossip, etc.

[Ou_Tis]

the spam in the main bargain thread is unreal like entering there equals 50% chance of seeing one of the two black avatar guys spamming their soundsets, whatever

Advertising soundsets is not spam. Soundsets are used by some to make music. This is a forum for bargains on tools for making music. How many times does this have to be explained?

these quite irrelevant guys are promoting their products 5 times more often than large retailers like jrr (which have way more to offer), it's just annoying

sometimes if you want something fixed, you have to make it worse. find a bunch of other people who sell soundsets and samples and tell them to join an dpost every day, and then make your own sample selling page and spam this list every day. eventually a majority will complain and then they might do something about it lol

i wonder why they dont seperate plugins from files that go into plugins

I usually wouldn't mind but Spektralisk has been posting a new shitty "deal" every day. It's annoying and it's probably losing them business. I would have been open to buying presets from them, but now I'm never going to. Many potential customers won't even see their "deals" because they've been foed....

[JerGoertz]

Yeah, just "foe" the preset-makers and move on if you find them annoying. It's clear the mod's aren't going to force them to have a separate thread. Life's too short.

+1, and vote with your wallet, which is always a good idea.

If only the mods could at least make it such that you don't get an email notification when a Foe posts...

"Foe"
Very "cringe".
It would be a start abandoning this term of the nineteenth century.

It’s the term the KVR forum system uses. Under “user preferences“ you will find the section “friends & foes”.

That's exactly my point.
For what it's worth, adding users to one's list replaces the wall of spam with a wall of posts telling you that you cannot see those persons' posts because you put them on your list.
Great success.

I absolutely agree with Fjodor.
The whole idea of tagging people in ”friends and foes” in the Forum like the Kvr sound very highschool-popularity-contest-teenage approach.

I would like option this a lot, if it's even possible.

Yes please, no notification and no email on foe post would make me happy.
Some of these preset people post almost daily, this would be great not to always need to check their post out to see they're on the foe list.

The problem with foe lists is you have to be logged in for it to work. Easier to to just scan and ignore it. Likewise, I keep notifications to an absolute minimum. Emails and current specific topic threads.

Moving on from that, I do have a question about Plugin Alliance and any relationship they have with Audio Damage. Avoided PA as nothing really interested me. Until they ran a no-brainer sale on AD Eos 2. So I signed up and of course, now have my email flooded with "offerings". None, of which are Audio Damage.
Was this just a one off or will they actually start selling AD?
Or should I just unsubscribe?

they email a lot about everything. Just unsubscribe if they are not useful for you.
