I know certain requestors aren't going to like this, but can we please implement a 'one asset/bundle per post' limit in the Request queue? It's VERY easy to overlook or be included/unincluded on specific items in the set that you might (not) have requested or joined. It's also impossible to know what any request is worth without exponential work for the original poster.
This has been discussed several times in Eelgoo's threads and others. Usually, a request should only contain 1 item or 1 bundle at a time. But some users have a bad habit of adding suggestings within a thread for one item - maybe related items or just random items, rather than creating singular requests.
As a moderator, I do get annoyed watching what I call "Request" "Hijacking" by other users. Mainly because it is my job to tally points and close the request once it has been filled and make sure the item makes it to the Blog within a week after it was fulfilled, which is why we put dates up top with the word "FILLED".
If someone has the intention of asking for multiple items and it is not a Major Product Release (like a Pro Bundle on release of a new character). These are acceptable as they were all released together as a collection.
However, some users request multiple items which are unrelated, or are by the same vendor. Eelgoo made the rule that the maximum in one request can be 10 items and they must be ALL listed at the top in the first post.
I know that Eelgoo's posts are ones I stay away from - because they keep on adding stuff midway down the request, and it is impossible to keep track of anymore - so I leave those to Eelgoo to manage.
However, the rule for Requests is ONE ITEM PER REQUEST, or ONE plus texture add-on products for it are fine in the same request.
Hope this helps a little Marcus H.

AnjaBearThe trouble with going to a one item per request is that the forum gets flooded, and can knock down others requests off the front page very quickly.
That is why we went away from that & placed a cap of 2 requests per member per 24 hours.🙂
bumping posts and adding points to a request should count towards the 2-post limit too. some days i see the front page filled with 1 person saying 'adding 500" all the way down the forum and everything else gets buried to where posts made 4-5 hours ago already end up on page 3.
I appreciate your view & do agree in principle, but some things do have to be left to courtesy & common sense, otherwise the rule thread becomes long winded & folks won't bother to read.
Currently that post is long enough anyway IMO.
:0/Hi. Not to be a dick, but for multiple items in a request its simpler to just low ball it and say a lesser amount of points for each.
The promo images are often not added and doesn't attract a lot of attention. I don't like clicking links and taking the time to go see what it looks like. When multiple promo images are added, they can take a while to load.
This might be a bad idea considering bundles, but to remove the clutter consider categorising the request section.
