How about a ban on exclamation points? Especially in headlines.

“Thanks for all the inquires. Card still available.”

How come when I list a card the first or second inquiry at the most results in a sale?

To borrow a line from Carly Simon, I guess you thought this post was about you. Since you asked, yes, I would like to see proper decorum on this board, befitting of gentlemen. I doubt many others here would disagree.

This isn't the place to gripe about others. Thanks

Disclosure if any card came from a PWCC auction would be a good!

Default Seeking a ruling on my modest proposal
Leon, I didn't single anyone out when I proposed banning exclamation points. He took offense and singled me out, apparently assuming that I was referring to him specifically. So I responded.

Do you believe it's appropriate for sellers to use exclamation points in the headlines for their listings? I believe it's an eyesore, an annoyance, and unbecoming of this board that you run so well. What do you say?

"Banning" exclamation points?
This is quickly becoming one of the strangest threads I've seen.

If it bothers you that much, don't look at it...??
I mean I don't really know what else to tell you.

To imply that it's "inappropriate" just seems absurd though...

But hey, what do I know?
I'm sure I'm just an average lowbrow know-nothing who can't comprehend the unwritten grammatical etiquette of a BST thread... You know, the thread where you posted something that wasn't B S or T?

Default Dear Moose
Come on, it's easy if you try. I mean, if someone really, absolutely had to use an exclamation point in a headline, that person could always turn it upside down by typing a lowercase i instead, and it still would be in full compliance with the ban.

I suppose there aren't many Jonathan Swift fans on this board either.

Ah, we have a winner. But we'd all be winners if we didn't have to suffer through any more exclamation points in B/S/T listings.

They should be banned once and for all, at least from headlines . . . iiiiiiiiiiii

Default You know, Fred, it's funny but . . .
When you're the one doing the exclamation points, it doesn't seem to be quite as annoying as when others do it. As you were. Carry on.
