Ok correct me if I`m wrong - but isn`t the max amount of minerals you can post at one time 9,999,999?
I just found this in the TM market
1,000 10,407,658 47

I`m curious though why this would be against the rules. I mean, I have heard of this happening and the person getting in trouble, but what rule would it really be breaking? I suppose you could say it is cheating, that it is "Exploiting a loophole or bug in the system for personal* gain" as quoted from the rules, but what personal gain is it? I suppose it would be easier to spam the market, but if you just wait 15 minutes, you can spam it again anyway...
ah well... doesn`t really matter... I just found the whole thing curious. Of course, now I know how to do it, some knowledgeable players have clued me in. ;) Not really any need for me to use it seeing as I buy minerals and not sell them, but still interesting...

actually, my buy makes some sense... it`s just the first 9 digits of that 10 digit number... probably some sort of limit Stephen put in the code

how is that possible?
Loof there are actually problems with doing it, The market limits were put in for a reason, use that uh, well I`ve yet to see evidence of you having a brain, but yar, use it if you got it and spend like 30 seconds thinking youll figure several reasons why it woulden`t be good to have people posting huge amounts of stuff at once

Loof
i know how to post that but i`ve never tried it...tried building with that quite basic mathematic way of describing large numbers with fewer digits.... and erm yea, didnt think of it till about a year ago thou lol!
btw gives no real advantage and shouldnt be against the rules imo, but yea yea i wont use it untill we get an admin who got more than sheet for brains of course.

well its possible to post over the limit, just against the rules
although that doesnt explain what happened when you bought it o.0
