It is now a bannable offense to make the /BST/ thread. Effectively banning buying, selling, and trading. Something that has been done here at /toy/ for years with no issues. If you have ever bought or sold anything using the /BST/ thread let out misguided Mod(s) know how you feel about this.
>>11650798No it's not banned.
>>11650829The thread was removed the, archive was removed and the OP was banned for making the thread. So how is this not banning /BST/? He wasnt banned for another offense and /BST/ went down too. He was banned literally for making the same /BST/ thread he's made for years.
>>11650798>It is now a bannable offense to make the /BST/ thread.>big if trueAs someone who was here in the heyday of the BST circa 2013 and onwards, (and made the current BST image) its sad to see it go, it was always the first thread I would check daily and I got a bunch of the rarer figures in my collection here but it honestly feels like an old dog that's been put out of its misery. The threads have been on a sharp decline for a while now. I also don't blame anyone for not wanting to freely exchange info or trust anyone anymore with the glut of shitposters we have on this board now.
>>11650836Wow, wtf? Only bought stuff from there a few times, but never had a problem. Was even thinking about selling some stuff of my own there in the future since ebay fees have gotten so ridiculous.
>>11650866>2013>/toy/ heydayyou were already four years too late, newfag.
>>11650866>heyday of the BST>/toy/ heydayreading comprehension
A real shame, I bought several things in these threads over the years just another sign this site sucks ass now
Well, we got grapeape on it now, he unbanned the user for making the thread and he's checking in with why it got banned.Remember bros, Always chimp.
>>11650903Thanks Anon! Thanks GrapeApe! The ban was indeed removed. Hopefully, this means I am free to make the thread again. I'd hate to get banned again for the same thing. I hope this was just a newbie who wasn't aware of the long standing tradition. I appealed so hopefully I get a response as to why the thread was banned in the first place.
>>11650920>>11650903Good to see, hopefully BST will be up again soon.I was running around and low on data and every wifi I tried to post from was banning 4chan. I saw a library branch and also needed to charge my phone and decided to hop in since I knew I could reach 4chan on via the library's network.I could read the site but when I tried a post, it told me I was PERMA BANNED for making a request for child porn (in July of this year).I went ahead and appealed, just because it was a public PC. I mean, I'm not permabanned, so who cares, but I'm sure some kids or adults would like to be able to post at 4chan. I also wondered if it was a ban on the specific public PC I was using, but it turned out to be a ban of that entire library branch. I later heard that the ban was lifted. Which was the sensible response, given it was a public computer. Also there's no way that person could have save child porn on those computers, I know that shit is blocked.
All Gundam busts are gone, all Asuka Langley raptors are gone, all special edition Nintendo hori Pokémon controllers are gone. I think that's all I had that's toy related. Junji ito Gacha figs will probably go up for sale after the holidays when I come back from my month long vacation. I still have some non toy stuff if you're interested in that. Just hit up my email or my storeThanks for making my first year open as a store a great one.
>>11650920>>11650903Question: so jannies can ban people now? Thought jannies could only submit ban requests. Asking because another board I frequent had an issue with a janny being retarded.
>>11650798I only ever participated BST once like a decade ago. what was anyone's best deals/returns?
>>11651055A few years back I got most of the black rock shooter figma for around 100 bucks.
>>11651097So that was you... you bastard!!
>>11651027A few possibilities: 1) we know thanks to the hack that the boards has a script that would delete/ban anon if enough reports were sent. Mind you the evidence of that was implying it had to be a high number and a big issue such as reports of global rules 1 and 2 being violated however post hack everything could have been changed from the ground up. 2) looking at how low energy the response has been this could just be shitposting of how much these trade centers have died at places like this and OP is making it up. Thanks to all the social markets available now trading/selling here is about as dubious as a Facebook meet up more so with the changes many exchange systems like paypal have made over the years. 3) take point two but OP was legit and we could conclude mods have just decided such things are more trouble than they are worth. That hack showed that many slow board threads had a -lot- of samefagging and many were trade like ones such as the Secret Santa's on many boards which implies attempts at catfishing so perhaps they saw comparable on BST and just went "nope" where money is exchanging hands where as a Secret Santa is just a person getting gifted and/or grifted.
>>11651055Theres a bunch of great deals but it is either getting the kira killer queen sas from canada for 50 usd after shipping, the p4 aegis figma for 30, or that coffee guy who sold me a buncha shit for nearly half of msrp.
>>11651241I wager most secret santas are just farming for data as many 3rd worlders can make ok money selling those emails and addresses. I witness some discord ones in 2022 and 23 lose their shit when people tried to organize it on Amazon wish list exchanges or comparable because that cuts out ever middle manning any meaningful info. Was very "Do not redeem sir!" level meltdowns.
I tried when it fisrt started. First thing that happened was "oh yeah I'm going to get your package out tommorow dude" all the up until the PP deadline was looming.
>>11651241This post feels like a bot wrote it either that or some one wrote it in another language and used the worst auto translation software available to translate it.
>>11651248You can't trust anyone on this board
I will say I've had a lot of people waste my time recently. They'll say they want something then take like 2 days to respond to a email.
>>11650798god damnit I was just about to post a bunch of shit in BST
I've bought fifty-some-odd Transformers total from sellers here from the past two years and haven't had any problems. Anyways... WTB: Beastboxes or any other modular 5mm/3mm bots you've got.
>>11650798Thank god the mods are doing their job and removing useful threads, now there is more room for youtuber spam and /pol/ threads!
>>11651248Good thing /toy/s santa is one of the good ones
>>11651055I got a set of authentic NECA Mirage Turtles for like $60-80, with the diorama pieces. I posted them with my SHF 80's TMNT,Revo 2012, and Playmates 2012 turtles. They were happy that the collection went to a good home.these days the shelf also has Super 7 and Neca TMNT movie and soon to be S7 03 too.
