If Alibaba dumped all the trade leads that have become irrelevant, there wouldn't be much left. So they pull all kinds of tricks to make it look like there were more activity. Another trick I saw was that they list the same trade lead more than once, in different places inside the same list. And so on and so forth!
Though this is just an annoyance - something free members can't really complain about - but what is really bad is that they don't even try eliminating those "bad apples", the scammers. That really goes to the marrow of the bone!
Quoting from [hesika]:
Hi at all,
I find it some difficult to find here some information. It is not very helpful, if I enter "scam" to get 1,600 something more results. Who would read that?
I also could not find, what I posted some hours ago...
Is there anybody, who could change that? I don't know, if in a question today, in 2008 must be the answers from 2006 or even earlier...
I would like to get some information, but in this way, I have not the force to choose the right section nor can I find my own posts...
That's not good...
I have to agree with you,and I think alibaba forum system is the worst I have seen.There are so many inconveniences for use.
But still,it is the biggest trade forum I have seen.So I have to change my habit to meet it.
