Default Price jacking on the wiki

I think it's pretty widely known that fat cats in EC will jack up their prices to fix the price on the wiki, but there was one idiot in particular about a week ago putting some absurd prices up that have since made it to the wiki. Is this allowed? Can these not be stricken from the wiki?

There is a page for exactly that, http://wiki.project1999.com/Special:...r/TRIMOUTLIERS, but ... unfortunately it's disabled (and has been for who knows how long).

What a bummer. Hope someone can take a loot at it and determine that the prices are BS. The guy showed up with those prices for 2 days then disappeared. Pretty safe to assume he sold none of it and naturally he turned into a raging shitlord whenever someone sent him a tell asking why his prices were so high.

Maybe someday I will, but I kind of hate PHP and I'm buy with my FashionQuest project ATM.

Ultimately until someone builds my dream (and auction tracker that uses the logs of someone's permanently logged-in character, so that no one can manipulate them) this is just part of the "fun" of using a tracker.

Auction trackers are not classic. If you weren’t using it you wouldn’t have this problem

We are in a recession. Hoard your platinum or else you'll be one of the poors.

Of course it's allowed, you can't outlaw what someone sells their item for on an open market.

This. ^

I recognize the problem with auction trackers being manipulated, it's real. To eliminate such misiformation, you simply need to stop using them.
