I've been getting more and more into using the GTS. I've noticed one massive issue. A lot of users will add mass quantities of pokemon to the GTS looking for the same thing, sometimes to make it even more annoying with extra-large comments.
To help everyone on every end, I have a fairly simple suggestion. We could use a mass-trades option on the GTS.

Well, first off, that doesn't really help anything. The pokemon would still be up in the GTS, and they may start doing it out of spite. They also probably need the trade for their pokedexes. If they're particularly stubborn, chances are they'll just be back tomorrow. I don't think that people are doing it for the intention of spam, and probably don't see it as spam, since they can do it in real life in the game without penalty.

What I mean is, instead of setting up a traditional trade, a user is told to write a comment first, then select multiple pokemon to put under that comment. There'll be a check box next to your pokemon, similar to the way the storage boxes work. The first pokemon you pick is the one that will show in the normal GTS, and the comment will have a small bright 'M' at the very beggining to let you know it's a part of a mass trade group, and clicking on it will bring you to the page where all the pokemon who have been placed under that comment are available.
On the main GTS menu page, you can access the list of mass trades, by comments. Each comment will be posted in order of creation, with a number of how many pokemon exist under that comment. You can click on the comment to look at all of the pokemon in a list, and then choose to trade for one of those. From there it would work like a normal trade; you have to wait to see if the user likes the exchange.

I think since a few pokemon aren't that detrimental to the GTS, since 20 can potentially fit on a page, we set a minimum of 5 pokemon per mass trade, and the number of mass-trades a user can have at once would work like how the Wonder Trade slots open up. One at the beginning, another at 15, another at 20, etc., and one available for purchase. At any time, a user can add pokemon to a mass-list, so that they don't have to re-make or make a new trade every time they get another pokemon.
This could all potentially help out breeders and raffles, having an entire prize list or store stock in one place already set up and ready to go for the next deal or the end of the raffle, and users who are reserving multiple pokemon for someone. I think it would generally help the GTS stay neat, and keep everyone from loosing their heads. I can work on images for this post if none of that made sense.
Please tell me your thoughts, and be honest if you don't like it. I'll try to edit where people say it doesn't make sense.

And to the user who stated they were sure that this was suggested before; can you please show me a thread instead of just voting it? Fells kinda detramental to the whole voting system if you don't post proof.

Figure it's been long enough even though it's still on the first page.
