The name gives people the wrong idea which is the reason for the massive amount of crap that's on there. No one reads the stickies, and they assume anything that has to do with real life can be sold and bought there.

I was thinking, maybe "Tangible Items" instead?
That would pretty much summarize everything that's allowed, other than the tangible items on the "do not sell" list. (Drugs, guns, etc.)

I agree, it needs to be renamed, but I would guess that half of the people here don't understand the word "tangible."

EDIT: Finn beat me to it.

"Tangible" synonyms...

actual, appreciable, corporeal, definite, detectable, discernible, distinct, embodied, evident, factual, gross, incarnated, manifest, material, objective, observable, obvious, palpable, patent, perceivable, perceptible, phenomenal, physical, plain, positive, sensible, solid, stable, substantial, tactile, touchable, verifiable, visible, well-grounded

Perhaps "physical" or "material" would be more appropriate.

Solid Items section? or Actual would work.

Well if they don't know what tangible means, that would force them to read the stickies to try to find out more information or look it up in the dictionary like normal people, but then again they're too lazy to do that too.

How about...
Physical Items
Solid Items?
Non-virtual Items
Touchable Items
Existing Items

All I can think of at the moment but they all sound strange.

(edit)
Alright I read the two posts above and I think the best so far is Physical. Can't it be called tangible though, with an explanation instead of "Sell real life items here, such as consoles, clothes, etc." such as "Sell something that physically exists in life." instead of

I understand that we're trying to dumb it down, but let's not make it look like we're illiterate -.-

"Touchable Items" is a bit too simplified. I think Non-Virtual Item Sales seems like the best option.

"Section where nothing gets sold" Would be the most appropriate. But since we want to make it more appealing, not less, we should go with Sins idea.

Real World Trades ( NOT FUCKING RUNESCAPE ).

I think it's fine how it is. Or go with Loveable's suggestion...

Tbh people would overlook the "Non-" part of it and misread.

Those people would then get infracted and learn to read, so its a win-win, a forum gets more descriptive and people can improve their reading abilities

But I guess the second best choice would be Physical Items

If that is the case then the name should be left alone and the current violators be infracted.

Maybe we should have a poll?

What's the problem with it being called Real Life Items?

You never explained

You're kidding, right?
Maybe it's because you never read it.

You still didn't explain it

What idea does it lead them to?

REAL LIFE Items
That basically means anything having to do with real life.

They don't read the stickies, and then they think "Oh, so I can sell gift card codes since they're in real life, and I can sell hosting, etc."

Go ahead and PM me if you need it explained even more. I'll write you an essay.
