Just what posts belong in .brickshops has been discussed before with no
official conclusion:
http://news.lugnet.com/market/brickshops/?n=30&t=i&v=a
The way I, and some others, interpret the charter of .brickshops is that it is
for discusion of brickshops (*mentioned* in the charter) and not for
sales(*not* mentioned in the charter).I especially feel this way for a few
reasons.
1) .brickshops came to be during a time when BB was having some big downtime
problems and there was alot of off topic BB discussions in .b.s.t.
2)The word "sale" or anything like it, is not included in the .brickshops
charter.
When Todd answered the question about MOCs being in announce, he said this:
"lugnet.announce was never intended for announcements of new (especially
updates to) MOCs...otherwise the charter would say so."
http://news.lugnet.com/admin/general/?n=9908
Following that line of thinking (but not trying to put words in Todd's mouth),
substitute a few words.
Try substituting:
"lugnet.brickshops" for "lugnet.announce"
"shop sale info" for "announcements of new (especially updates to) MOCs"
It seems like a simple fix to me. Either include in the .brickshops charter
something along the lines of "this is the place to post sale info regarding
your shop" or "please post sales info to buy.sell.trade".
I cross posted and set the follow up for lugnet.admin.terms.
