Community and related sites
The Trade Me site has a general messageboard where members can participate in discussions on a variety of topics, ask questions and seek advice. Controversial postings or flame-wars have occasionally resulted in interference in auctions by members with opposing views.
The Trade Me messageboard is community moderated: a post or thread may be voted off by as few as 10 members if they deem it offensive. This has led to abuse by certain members and groups who vote off popular threads that otherwise comply with the messageboard guidelines.
To help combat this problem www.votemenot.co.nz was created in November 2008 to allow messageboard members to archive threads that they feel may be voted off or expire.
The Trade Me messageboard received a major user interface upgrade in October 2009, adding 'quote' functionality and search.
