Big Drop in Sales After Telegram Restrictions Suggestion for Sellers

Hey BHW team and fellow members,

As a JRvip , Seller, I've noticed a very significant negative impact after the policy changes regarding Telegram (especially the restrictions on mentioning it in WTB and HAF sections). Our sales have dropped sharply. Even though we are putting in a lot of effort with new threads, regular comments, and staying active, we're barely getting any clients compared to before. It has become much harder for buyers to reach us quickly and naturally.I completely understand the reason behind the rule protecting members from scams and disputes that happen after moving off the forum. That's fair. However, legitimate sellers are also getting heavily affected. My suggestion:

• Please allow signatures to remain fully functional and visible even on mobile.
• Make it easier for potential clients to find our contact (Telegram or other methods) directly from the signature when they search or browse threads.

Right now, many buyers probably don't even realize they can reach sellers via signature or DM because it's not as visible or straightforward, especially on mobile.If other Jrvip or Marketplace sellers are facing the same issue with lower inquiries and sales, please share your experience and views here. Maybe together we can suggest a balanced solution that still protects buyers while giving honest sellers a fair chance to be reachable. Looking forward to hearing the community's and staff's thoughts.

Thanks!
