@Joe80, My own way of coping with the new rule : Only upbid or downbid once (at most twice) a minute, and this never triggered the "you lost ability to bid" thing. The way I do it is : - Open only one screen of article at a time (I used to open 5 - 10 screen of article) - Open the link given in the article. - Read the article to determine whether I should be upbid, no bid, or downbid (only in the worst case scenario). - Implement my decision. - close the screen / tab, and redo from the first step.
My ability to bid has been suspended... I logged on, bid up a screenshot, saw a bunch of big news items, decided to only bid a few of them, and now I've lost the ability to bid... This is way too restrictive IMO. Does anyone know when I will be able to bid again? I'd rather receive a DKP fine then lose my ability to bid!
Im getting this, i have to go to my portfolio and click on the stocks from there to get the prices to display in the right hand column. If i go onto an individual stocks page it doesnt work.
@CrimsonFalcon167, I agree with raising cost of bid. I don't agree with raising slightly the reward in addition to increasing the cost. I think the reward should stay the same (or decreased slightly).
Actually, I reread my original comment and then your comment. I think you misinterpreted my comment, but it wasn't exactly clear either.
What I really meant to say was that you increase the price it costs to place a bid, not necessarily the reward. I did say that if the price to make a bid was increased that the reward might have to be increased by a little too, but having a slightly higher reward for a significantly higher price on placing a bid does not seem too unreasonable.
I hope I straightened this out, my previous post was a bit ambiguous, I'll admit.
I don't think anyone would disagree with rasing the price it costs to make a bid, that's all.
@CrimsonFalcon167, This has been suggested multiple times and I would say that the majority of people would agree. The easiest way for an implementation would to allow for people to flag an article as being pertinent to one or more of the different platforms that the title will be appearing on. I don't think that a new stock page is needed and it would just add more clutter to the site. Just having the article automatically show-up on the pages of the title it applies to is the easiest and best way. This feature would cut down on people submitting duplicates of the same article.
I believe KoC has reported that a revamp to the content sharing on the simExchange is in the works and hopefully this feature will be part of that revamp.

I do agree with that. I just need to get used to the new rule maybe.
