Expiration of trades in GTS

Post by leech »

Hi,
I have a suggestion:

I think it would be nice if after some time (one month for example), the trades in GTS expire.

The idea would be to remove the offers from inactive people. For example, I search for a pokemon that I want, but the only offers are from 2013.

I believe the GTS system would benefit with this :)

Best regards,

I think this is a pretty good idea, to be honest. Old trades that are never gonna accept any offers can be pretty annoying.

Maybe it is also a way to keep server capacities clear ?! :)

That would be a good idea, I guess someone already once mentioned it before ? Not sure though...

http://www.virtuadopt.com/forum/viewtop ... =8&t=17682 it was here.

I actually really like this idea, but I think there was some reason it couldn't be done or the admins were opposed to it. I know the trade posting dates were added instead of an expiration.
