RE: Suggested Rules for auctions
I agree with a few points but I will have to disagree with a lot of others. I think auctions are meant to be decided by the Market and the Auctioneer with a combined coordination. I feel the current calendar schedule that Bree-Ann manages is more than enough and really helpful to give information to see what all is going on. It is good to have all main events within one calendar.
Now a days, with the tight calendar schedule, it is hard to keep an auction within 1 hour. Overlap happens, it is something we cannot avoid at certain times. That doesn't mean there is no respect, a little understanding just needs to be formed. With amount of growing markets and additional new markets, they may be times you cannot avoid having 2 auctions in one time slot.
SL is a place of growing communities, and the common business spaces/ event sims always had similar events on certain days, after all its their search to keep their sim active and offer as much as they can to provide them with good traffic, enjoyment and of course sales. Breeders go to events they like going, some like short auctions and some like long ones and we can not ask anyone to change their type of auction. In the end, we cannot keep set of rules because this is supposed to be something fun and a way to sell special kitties within group of friends.
Patrons are never forced to choose where they want to go, we all have free will. :3
