Is there some sort of contest...

Hmmmmmmmm....

Is there a way to just make a profile location mandatory? That would completely solve the location problem and then the mod(s) wouldn't have to be responsible for baby sitting every new poster with a for sale ad. Well, for the location thing, anyway.

ginse i think the problem is with people asking 100 for their stuff and then they think they want 200 but the real problem is finding the number within the post and then they just keep on typing and you really have a hard time trying to find anything because it is just one big massive run on sentence but every once in a while there is a period. i really find it amusing when they type shit out like that because i really try to lay my for sale ads out in a very clear and concise manner and always try to post pictures so everyone can see what they are getting plus pictures make any item sell better no matter what it is. having the price down at the bottom away from the main body of the text is nice so that people can see if you are asking 100 dollars and even a money symbol is nice to have so that people can at least locate the price in their mass confusion of words. I really hope my explanation solved everything and you feel better now

[Ah Pook]

The rules arent simple enough.........


Just start deleting them until they figure it out

Eye like this idea. How hard is it too reed the directions or at least give a byer a clue. Its knot rocket surgery.

I've actually looked for white text, thinking the seller was trying to be tricky.

I don't know if it's just coincidence or related in some fashion, but I have also noticed, many of the people that don't post a clear price/location/pics, are the same people that ONLY use this forum to sell their stuff. They aren't active members, and i'm willing to bet, you could match their post count with postings in the wanted/for sale section.

There is a huge difference in postings of "active members" and "classified trolls". Active members, actually put some thought and take care in ensuring everybody gets a clear understanding of what they are selling, where they can meet, and how much they want. Whereas classified trolls, probably have the same posting on half a dozen other sites, and are just seeking as many views as possible.

I've watched the regulars and mods, be VERY patient with these folks, but patience only goes so far.

SO The more posts one has on this site, the better person they are? Ive noticed an attitude that expresses that belief. I dont post a ton. There are a few guys in here who post 40 to 50 times a day not to say anything worthy, just to get the count high enough to become acceptable.
The amount of posts matter little to me. I tend to judge people on what they have to say and how they approach others.
I can't help but wonder what the count has to be before your "acceptable" in CO-AR-15? 500? 1000? Sad.
Yeah! It's time to bash anyone who might try to sell something but not post a lot. Good thing eveyone in here gets along, acts civil to each other and all that trash.
