From my point of view as a moderator, the sub-forum has become a nightmare. The guidelines clearly state it is a role-play thread, but that seems to be lost on many people, and the ensuing mess is nigh on impossible to sort out. Plus the distinction between characters and players is blurred all the more as a result of these ship sales - indeed it is apparent that the Stock Exchange being used for the sale of ships carries all the dangers of any open market, never mind a market frequented by inter-galactic scallywags...
That being said, discuss or do not. Please avoid flaming.
