    Perhaps you are new here, perhaps you joined some time ago and haven't read the rules, perhaps you just dont care but ......

    NEVER POST/REPLY TO A CLASSIFIED AD UNLESS ITS "I'LL TAKE IT".

    Perhaps take a minute and go back and read the rules.

    Got questions about something in the classifieds??? PM's, emails and phone calls......

    Besides "I'll take it" the only time you should be post is if you are the original poster, and that's 3 DAYS after the original post or is its sold. If sold just edit your ad.

    This makes it fair for EVERYONE that uses the classies.

    BTW a post saying "PM sent" is redundant as we all know a PM has been sent as we get told when we log on....

    So just so you have it, repeat after me....

    NEVER POST/REPLY TO A CLASSIFIED AD UNLESS ITS "I'LL TAKE IT".

    Hope this is cool mods, its just been getting out of hand of late.

    To add onto this, don't post to say "Man, cool car. Wish I had the money."
    "Complements are coments too, so don't be stupid."
    P.S. Read the rules, they are not hard to understand in any way.

    Starting the same thread twice in one day is equally redundant.

    Maybe if we can get someone to post this every 15 minutes, .03% of those who visit here may get around to reading it.

    I've actually had to explain this to a couple guys who really didn't know the reason for it. To those who don't understand why, it's because every time you post to an ad, it moves that ad back to the top, bumping all the other ads down one. An unscrupulous advertiser could just have his friends keep asking questions to keep his ad on top, think what chaos that would cause!
    So now that ya know,
    Don't do it anymore!

    Sounds like some people could vent on this threads about the FNG's here on this site.
    We might just see an angry mob of people with breaker bars and blow torches show up for this thread.

    All I'm saying is that I dont think you are gettin to your intended audience. I would say as a "FNG" that anybody that is reading this has read the rules for the forum and the classifieds, I know I have. The people you need to be targeting are the fuckers that are here just to buy and sell shit. Don't classify a guy because of how many posts he or she has. Having said that I do agree that the rules should be followed and enforced. Just don't bitch at guys that follow the rules.

    Ok, I see the point about commenting on the topics. It's perfectly understandable, and as someone who sales stuff here to the members, I do as I would have done to me. However posting yet ANOTHER one of THESE topics, I have to agree, is equally redundant, as is posting it twice in one day, is equally redundant as posting a stupid question on a FS topic.
    Just my 02. Post it once and be done already.

    As a FNG I am wondering why a car that I took off a while back has not yet been removed? Wouldn't this free up some space also? I don't mean any disrespect. Just wondering. I admit I replied to an ad with a question. Thankfully it was on an ad that hadn't been bumped. I got reprimanded politely. Sarcasm is amusing, but it rarely helps any situation. Just ask my x wife.

    No I didn't know that. I asked my friend about that and was told the Mods did it. I'll take care of it. Thank you.

    I agree, it is called Ebay and it is there for a reason. Don't come here and try to hock your crap if you are only joining to hock crap. Be a part of the family.

    Would prefer you didn't delete any ad at all.
    If someone is a crook - how are we to know or review ?

    Would prefer you post SOLD and then send me a message that it is SOLD and I will close the ad.

    That way - when a complaint gets sent to me I have something to originally reference.
    Buying and selling is AT YOUR WON RISK as stated and even though we Mods don't get in between deals, if there is a crook - we have something to reference and info to Bann if need be.

    If you delete something on your own - YOU ARE TOTALLY ON YOUR OWN !

    Thanks,
