Turn off requests replies
please please please please pleaaaaaaaaasssseeeeee turn off replies in the requests forum. Many of them just say things lile "I've PMed you" or "Check your email!". And it makes it hard to keep track of which requests are new and which ones bounced back up from a reply. No more replies!

I find it rather annoying seeing the "I've PMed you" as well, however I find it even more annoying keeping track of whom you have and haven't emailed or PMed. What a headache!!!!

There's a little check box in the reply area that allows you to turn off email notification.
You could always adjust that setting in the control panel to have it turned off by default. It seems you have it on.

I'll put my vote in for replies to be turned off again. The requests forum was a much nicer place to visit before.

I'll add my vote in here as well. Too many people offer their services in response to requests which their services clearly don't satisfy; unless moderation was to be tightened considerably (which I don't think anyone has time for) it's better just to make requests a non-reply forum.

1. Leave on the replies.
2. Put the sticky back up explaining to *not* reply with "Email sent, et.al"
3. Reprimand those that can't follow that simple instruction.

ipkavb presents a suggestion
Perhaps replies could be made on as Soft Ware Review suggests but could it be possible to not have posts move up when they are replied to? So they stay in order based on when they were first posted? Surely this must somehow be possible.

Nice idea. Not sure if it's possible to do that easiliy in VBulletin, but otherwise I vote for that

if ipkavb's suggestion is implemented, can we also exclude the requests forum from the "view new posts"?

I agree with SWR's post - leave the replies on, but as c.perciva suggests, moderate the forum to a greater degree.
Maybe hire an extra mod or two, someone who doesn't represent a hosting company and is a reputable and long time member of this board, who could just moderate the advertising section?
