Re: Consolidating ads
Truthfully it would not hurt my feelings if the classifieds disappeared. It offers no content to the forum.
troll Free. It's all in your mind.

Re: Consolidating ads
I have used the classifieds from both directions. I like them and just accept the crap that can be found interspersed in them. I have learned to skip some of the adds based on the poster. Could be a shit ton better but could also be more expensive.
Some people just plain suck.
If you're gonna be dumb ya gotta be tough.

Re: Consolidating ads
Neither do the regional sections which get no traffic or the millions of threads about open Vs concealed carry or the millions of I'm buying my first gun please coddle me with your advice threads.
Plenty of areas lend no content.
And actually, the classifieds can allow members to meet in person, allow members to develop actual face to face interaction, create business and personal friendships, something posting anonymously from a keyboard about the same old topics can never do.

Re: Consolidating ads
Might I remind you that you started this thread? Over the years I have made many face to face contacts. Lunches dinners. Concul meetings many consul meetings.
Hell I and about 50 or 60 others are invited to a picnic first arranged here.
Again you started the thread and now it has gone in a direction you don't like. Sour grapes comes to mind or be careful what you wish for.troll Free. It's all in your mind.

Re: Consolidating ads
Well, I really don't know what you're talking about, but OK.
The positive rep I received from the thread shows that I'm not alone in thinking many sellers are inconsiderate.
You stated the classifieds themselves offer no content to the forum, yes they do, even if they are filled with inconsiderate asses.
This is what I was replying to, your opinion that the classifieds are worthless to the forum.

Re: Consolidating ads
I was going to start a thread on a related note, but after reading through this one, it'll serve better purpose to just post my opinion in here. Reading through this thread, it seems there will be people that agree with my thoughts, and those that disagree, so either way here goes:
I think there should be a limit on the number of active marketplace ads someone can have up. Make it a reasonable number (10 at a time? 20 at a time?), and it would also force folks to close their old ads out before being able to post new ads.
Reason being, I come back from a weekend away, log in here to see what's been going on, and the same person has 22 market place ads going, all in the first 10 pages or so of new posts.
To make it worse, they're ads that have been up for quite a while just being bumped.
Even more, this person's post history shows only market place ads for the past 2 years plus, and one feedback thread post. So they aren't contributing here, just using the place to hawk their junk.
Just gets old to reread these ads every time I check new threads, that's all.
ETA: While this is an extreme example, there are also a handful of other posters that seem to only post market place ads continuously as well and bump them for months on end.Last edited by Mabuz; August 11th, 2014 at 12:54 PM. Reason: See ETA Note.

Re: Consolidating ads
Might this be the same person who's bumped the same classified ad for Tupperware lids 97 times?
I too am tired of seeing the same five or six posts bumped every time I check them.
This may or may not be the same person who tried to fuck me over on a Gunbroker auction for .223 ammo.
Caveat emptor!
