it might be it's just becos i'm a grouchy old goat, but i find folks who spam the same message in the [trade channel every 30 seconds annoying ... however this isn't intended as a rant, rather trying to point something out:
if you are desperately in need of something and are using the [trade channel to acquire it, i recommend announcing it in the [trade channel perhaps every 10-20 minutes and here is why ...
1) spamming your request every minute or so can cheeze off some of the players in the community, making it more likely that you will be placed on their ignore list, thus lowering the number of people who can potentially buy or sell whatever it is you're after
2) most folks who log in do so to stay for at least generally 30+ minutes (bod alts etc excluded), and if you announce every 10 minutes, they will see it at least 2 times, so you aren't gaining a larger 'audience' by spamming every 60 seconds (you're actually shrinking it - see comment above)
3) common respect and courtesy for your fellow players ... it's possible that over-spamming will have you thought of as being inconsiderate at the least by some, and perhaps even have you labeled as rude by others ... if you're wanting help with other things such as information, help with a hunt, just people to hang around and chat with, you're inadvertently narrowing the circle of people who might respond
hopefully this info is of help in you completing your [trade transactions
