lord of the board tony does it again


Clownfish please kindly forget off. Every thread you and Tony are on, you just yell "He's trolling, he's baiting, everyone stop!!"

forget off.


I totally agree with Tony. I totally support the idea of security, however, if I want something, I want it now. Email verification should be the only step between items being swapped, and the items are held till you confirm the email.

However, people who want extra security and spend more time on trading, should have the option to do that. It shouldn't be forced on everyone is what I'm saying. That being said, if you somehow get scammed while you have the option turned off, valve shouldn't have to do anything. I understand valve doesn't want people to lose their stuff, but they shouldn't force everyone to have to wait 15 days for items.

I was hoping for some actual discussion, too

what a shame

If you could choose what level of security you want that would be ideal. I would rather take the risk for the sake of convenience.

How annoying is it that I have to wait 15 days until I can finally use the TF2 weapon I just bought? I bought it because I want to use it now.

You can afford to buy tf2 weapons, you can afford to have a smartphone.

because clearly I'm the problem here lol
it's my way of saying "stop responding to his bait"
now, not all of his posts are bait, but some of them are clearly meant to rile people up

I don't see how posting this is bait images is any better.

Yeah like 1 scrap for a TF2 weapon which equals like less than 5 cents.

Of course TF2 server trading still has about 3-15+ trade holds.

If only there was Steam for Windows Phone...
I had an Android but I lost it somehow (I had turned it off so I couldn't call it) and I'll have to cope with this now.
Good thing I have not traded recently for a long time...

For real, though, this is just too much security...

the same reason why microsoft ditched the whole idea of allowing you to turn off updates with windows 10 home (pro allows you to though)

everybody kept disabling it and it caused such a major issue to the point where they just couldn't allow it to happen anymore.

I don't think clownfish knows what baiting even is.

If I were running around screaming stuff like "abortion is murder" in random threads that would be considered as bait.
