I had most of my hearts before I became a mod, its cool to see im in the top three.

If you don't like the price someone is setting for the item that you want, don't buy it. If enough people refuse to buy said item, the price will be lowered so they may be able to sell it.

Me, I don't buy into promos/keys/metal etc. why? Because it gives almost no cosmetic value, and I prefer to trade my items for other items instead of for promos, then items again.

You are looking for responses? How about this; The only reason you had refined there and not reclaimed is that you know people were more likely to click on your trade when refined is there when you are only paying reclaimed. You clearly are trying to mislead traders into clicking your trade, thinking you are paying more than you actually are, and then hoping they just settle for what you are paying. I completely support the moderator and think this should be a bannable offense if done too much.

Funny thing people too "lazy" to open notes to give accurate metal offer.

You were the one who was too lazy to open tf2 to smelt your metal into reclaimed in the first place. You are just making tf2outpost inconvenient to others by posting trades that just waste everyone's time, and then you have the nerve to call them lazy.

This post hits it on the nose, thanks for posting it.

Also, trades that are selling keys, they put 3 refined in the wishlist, and they ask for 3.whatever, thats misleading, as people think you're selling for a lower price, they click, giving you more views and more customer. All in all, put what you actually want in the wishlist.

Anything that would constitute as a troll offer, i.e. 7 refined for a key or a few crates for a hat etc.

What I like to do is wait for that right offer, If I really like an item, lets say my misty skull rubber glove (I'm a pyro main) I'm fine keeping it untill I get that amazing offer. If someone offers 7 buds, (I personally hate earbuds) I might not take that, because thats not what I want, I might want a cooler looking hat of similar value, such as a scorching or energy brain slug. Thats why people wait, they aren't just going to take anyone's offer just because "they are worth the same" .

Why not use the Flare Gun?

It's effective at both close range AND long range, plus it does crits.

On the other hand, the shotgun is only useful at close range, making it useless since you already have a flamethrower.

"3. I like the degreaser shotgun/FLARE and axtinguisher"

I did list flare, silly. I like the shotgun because you can do more dps, with 30-110 per shot (depending how close you are and how many pellets hit your target). But when people see there health dwindleing down, they tend to actually move, the flare is nice because you can do isolated damage quickly, its a very big suprise when your health drops by 90.

How much time does a single report take to investigate on average?
Is it a simple, "that's spam, hide" process, or is more investigation needed.

As a mod, what are the differences between you and an admin?

It matters, if its someone saying "lol, thats a lowball" its pretty easy, if there is a quarrell between to users you have to sift through all the messages and see who broke the rules, most often both users are banned if they both break the rules. The average report takes from 15-30 seconds if you average the simple spam ones and the quarrells.

As a mod I don't have the power that admins have (obviously), I can't ban others for more than 2 days and I can't send messages to everyone on outpost (I can send you a direct message that only you can see)

I don't see myself being very frequent on these forums, so, I'd like to formally introduce myself.

My name is Not_Duck and I come from the land of the midnight sun, Alaska!
I play competitive Pyro for the Wild Party as the backup (I was going to be the starter, but I joined another team, after that team fell apart, I crawled back like a lost dog and the Wild Party gratefully accepted me!).
When I'm not playing pyro, I play demo and soldier.

I have an irrational fear of horses, I was bitten by one when I was 8, And when I was 16, I was riding a horse when it decided to run full speed down a hill, into a tree. I fell off and the tree branch poked me in the eye D: (I've named all my main demo items "horse" because I can)

I like collecting odd things, I currently have a collection of aliens swarms, short circuits and eyelanders.

This is a thread just to ask me anything, from my mod position on outpost, to how I like to trade or play tf2. Thanks.

Am I allowed to quote you in my response?

maybe

No, you only live in my penumbra.
