cheap fame, i'd call it testing the waters.
ever pieced a buff spot and had it buffed within the week?
if they dont buff the throws and tags then there's a good chance pieces will follow.
at the end of the day go to brissy and you'll know what real buffing is about, every line end to end not just zone 1 or a few stations out from the cbd.
having said that they were onto it like hawks in the beggining and you'd be looking at 2-3 days max (sometimes lunchtime the next day) and your piece would be buffed.
these days though writers are winning the war and they are now reduced to capping pieces instead of covering them because of the ridiculous cost and relentless thrashing on our behalf.
either way man up and get up or they win
