The Tower of Commerce: A new discord trading channel

Hello players! Or what's left of you guys...
So i had the idea many months ago to create a discord server for trading in STO. There are many reasons for this, thanks to Discord's website and phone app it can be accessed from anywhere 24/7. It also allows ads to be posted that will stay up since chat isn't wiped every time you log out. Also it will allow a wider range if goods and services to be offered such as custom weapon/item crafting or large quantities of an item and of course things too expensive to sell on the exchange.
So in addition to all of the normal trade functions people who turn over large quantities of certain items can offer up a miniature store front of sorts so that everyone will know who they are and what they sell. In addition we can host auctions for highly prized items and also put Discord's voice chat functions to good use.
I think there will be many more benefits we will discover as time goes on but for now i'm just inviting everyone to come take a look around and start trading!
We are a small team so far, many of us are from Reddit and The Science Channel so we have experience with this sort of thing. That being said we are currently accepting applications for admin and moderator positions. We prefer it if you have some market experience.
So if you want to get back to basics in a fun and engaging trade atmosphere, or maybe you just want to be part of a trading organization not run by an TRIBBLE, join up today!
We also have an in-game channel so that people can link up to complete agreed upon trades.

Having much experience of Discord based operations I can see some advantages to this. The platform is very easy to use and open to a whole host of adaptions that could be very useful for such an idea.
> This seems like a lot more hassle than just using TheTradingChannel like most people do...
Fair enough but i think it will actually simplify the experience because it can function as a sort of mini-ebay so that ads don't get burried in chat. Post once and it's good for days.

Yes but the exchange has a fixed price and sellers are anonymous. You have more flexibility in what your selling and for what. Plus some things you can't put on the exchange like game codes, some ships and massive bulk items.
Why does it bother you so much? If the dude wants to make new channel, so what? It's not like you have to use it if you don't want to. No reason to keep spazzing out in his thread.
Then there's the other virtue, how well it's run. TTC is impeccably well run...

Without starting an argument i will simply state that i wouldn't have bothered to create a new trade organization if i thought for a second this statement had any truth to it. You might say it was the catalyst that drove us to do this.
"I was here before you, I will be here after you are gone. I am here, regardless of your acknowledgement or acceptance..." - The Truth
Gotta agree here.
As for wanting to create a new channel, that's everyone's prerogative; personally, I'm quite content just staying in TheTradingChannel, but YMMV.
Same.
l don't know.
l really don't know what l'm about to say, except l have a feeling about it.
That l must repeat the words that come without my knowledge.'
There's literally no reason to create new trading channels unless someone needs their own private scamming channel.
Anything to get a few suckers before they're burned and have to start again. Judging by what I saw of the place it seems like people that got ran out of TTC and the trading subreddit for being scammers deciding to try and make their own place where they can do whatever they want. Saw some things linked that make the guy running it look real questionable for other reasons too.
Although it does seem more like poetrade (path of exile trading website) than the hack your account and use it as a spambot site that we all know and hate.
Not sure where you pulling that information from, but I've never been pushed or ran out of either the TTC or the trading subreddit.
I guess I'm just questionable then
But anyways,
Just give it a try, hang around, if its not your thing no need to join it no one here is forcing anyone to join it!

This is just a try at providing a different means of getting people together for trading. It's not trying to steal your EC or scam you out of ships, it is simply a platform to allow people to talk in real time in and out of the game to arrange trades.It also includes voice chat channels too.
If you're not interested don't join. If you want to give it a go then feel free to join and act in a civilized and polite manner to your fellow members.
