#9 is the only one I remember, which is "Muahaha! Look how rich I am!!"
FourSpeed had the foresight to add them to the Market Guide sticky.
1. Hey guys! Here's an interesting thing.
2. Yes. That is interesting. My thoughts on it are...
3. Would someone like to buy/sell/trade this item?
4. Could someone please help me earn more inf?
5. Here are some ways to earn more inf.
6. You're all a bunch of doo-doo heads who make everything
more expensive than God (or Devs) intended.
7. You are an idiot.
8. Merge the Markets - Yes or No?
9. Dude! I'm so Rich/Ebil! -|- Dude! You totally are!

1. Done that.
2. Done that.
3. Never done that.
4. Never done that but I have read what people had to say.
5. Done that.
6. Never said that but somewhat believe that some people (or a groupd of people) are capable of driving prices up (but have generally kept that thought to myself).
7. Thought that but never posted that.
8. Done that. (And "yes").
9. Done that (but only very recently).

I think of those as a kind of #6. "You're all so stupid that you don't realize how much better things would be if all my ideas were implemented, or you're all so evil that you don't want things to get better, like they would if all my ideas were implemented."|

When those brilliant ideas are price caps and bind-on-pickup and the like, you just know there will be a flurry of 7's soon to come.

I've always thought that "Look at this absurd price that this item fetched guys!" or "OMG, you guys wouldn't believe how much inf I wasted with this boneheaded market move" deserved a place on that list. I tag them as "market mistake".
And my very favorite type of post isn't on the list as well. How I love the "I've got a bunch of extra inf to burn, so I'm going to temporarily mess with the going rate of [random item], and post the results"! I always like it when i get to use the "market fun" tag.
I'm Tealeaf, and I approve of this message.

I love so much that when I try to help them and counter their "markt caPS n0a!!!!" blather because I actually do know how much better things would be (only for me rather than for them) if they were implemented, they insult me and say I just don't want other rich people in competition with me.|

So rather than fight it any more, I just agree with them.
Devs - price caps, plz. 20M is a good choice.
Thx,

The economy is not broken. The players are
It's been a long time since I've seen the list of the nine types of Market Forum posts. It obviously never got made into a sticky, so it likely fell to the bottom of the forum, about to be eaten by the forum monster, or, more likely, long since eaten.
Does anyone have a copy of it?
