210.246.13.183: Where can I put this info then? So the public can be informed. this site is such a scam. poor frietasm cant get his pictures off trademe so he told us to spread it, so I am.

Rephrase your edit so it is less opinionated and more like an encyclopedia article. -barf

Under 18 Problem On Trademe
I notice that the user "Trademe" has edited this out. I consider this gross negligence due to the fact that the addition that trademe turns a blind eye to under 18 users is a valid and true comment. it is not just point of view, it is clearly a fact. if you would like i can post correspondance between trademe and myself that reinforce this.

Trademe Syndrome
I do not find it credible that a term like "Trademe syndrome" gained usage among a large population independently and spontaneously. Either there will be a citable source, or the breadth of usage is being exaggerated. (I'm questioning the term, not the phenomenon). dramatic 09:20, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Its the name of a phenomena, of course there isnt actually a scientific phenomena named as such, but it was a phrase coined in response to a worldwide trend of "Net Compulsions" as a localized form. I dont feel it needs a citation as its clear as to it what it is and is a name derivative of its meaning.--Subwaynz 09:58, 6 September 2006 (UTC)


 * In that case (and supported by the fact that the only google result for the phrase is this article) I'm removing the section as original research. You can't even derive it from "Ebay syndrome", because the top 10 hits from that phrase include six blogs which each use the phrase with a different implicit or explicit definition. dramatic 11:05, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

At least leave the notion (not trademe syndrome but the context) as an occurance, therefore relevant for the wiki.--Subwaynz 11:18, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
