Discussion Saturday sale day?

26 Upvotes

So my co-moderator u/Original_Platform443 and I are thinking of opening up a day, only one day every week - Saturday - for allowing sales / destashing / shop promotion. Just like we do over at r/crystals on Sundays, and it has worked well, people enjoy it. It allows our members who do sell some of their specimens or run shops to announce their businesses openly, but keep sales posts restricted to that day only.

What do you all think? It'll help keep the sales posts down on other days, as all the members who are here primarily for that will be notified that their posts on other days showing their wares will be removed, and allowed only the one day every week.

Reposting this here for more reach! Any help is appreciated as I don’t think I’ve been able to come up with a good valuation from my own research

I don't know whether these geometric patterns formed during a single stage of growth or through successive stages of deposition and alteration. But their intricate lines and angular shapes remind me of Aztec pictograms.
