Indeed I liked to RP in this Forum,it was nice one.May be you should move it to the Non- RP part of the forum, but Flood? And by the way the gun sale forum is much worst RPed as the ship one, there is not much RP then :
' I sell Prototype guns ,here is my list and my prices'

It's always going to be difficult pleasing everyone. We have to balance the usefulness and functionality of the movechar function with the standards on the forums. Some people like being able to arrange this without roleplaying, so they can now do it in a separate section of the forums without our having to move non-rp'd ones.
Anyone spamming or scamming in the new sub-forum will be pulled limb from limb.
Open Market is still perfect for in RP ship sales.
Actually looking at Ship Sale forum as a Market if you divide it in two different sub-markets with two different customer groups , posting only in Open Market or only in Ship sale will decrease your chances to find a customer.Even the most hardcore RP player will sell his ship to the lolwut, it is just business so I am a little bit unsure...:unsure:
Edit: Not to mention that maintaining of two different sub-forums will cost more time to admins and more time to players as I said it is economic not efficient to sell only in one of the sub-forums.
Edit2:(Final one)
And Other positive side of the Ship Sale forum is that this is the first place where new players see any form of RP in the forum, as new around this was the first place for me ,was not some fancy veteran player story. At this point the new player MUST RP in order to buy the desired ship,even when he writes 'I want this ship buy -100 mil' he MUST read the RP-formed ship information first.It helps, believe me it helped me and may be it helped other new players too.

IMO, there is nothing wrong with: I am (insert reason here) and like to sell ship X.
It : 1) No longer fits my RPG
2) Reactor Leaks
3) Morage payment are too high
4) Got nerfed in the latest disco upgrade and nolonger usible by me
5) Been banned more times by Admins than Zelot get blamed.
6) All the above
7) None of the above.
Some of us sells ships for Rp reasons > money.
With moving the thread to flood noone will be ,,forced,, lightly to try to make Rp from the ship sales.
Admins had lot of work with removing the ,,Ich wannersell BigBattleshippiefor 1billiontrillion,, type of topics. Okey. But c'mon: if the thread will stay in the flood people will start spamming badly, and even the ship sellers will leave out the Rp-just because its faster wihtout it.
Some of the companys or teams who sells ships has problems already because non-rp people are keep selling their vessels for under market prices in Flood. Now- the prices will go lower. You say this is free market? I say this is flood only. Ship sales lost its beauty if we have to do it in flood.

Spam there and you "get eviscerated with a butter knife". Aaaah I love quoting Dieter.
The only thing that changed is that it no longer has to be in roleplay.
1) I don't like the change like lots of others here, no need to repeat them. Just: Flood isn't a good choice.
2) I don't like that you posted this notice in a place where no notices ever go (as far as I can remember), instead of the proper subforum for Forum changes, making me create a useless thread:P
Finally. I've said since the beginning that making ship sales RP would not work. It simply does not make sense 90% of the time. I mean, how do you roleplay selling a battleship, a multi-million credit death machine? It's impossible...
