Re: Upcoming Classifieds Process and Rules Changes
This sounds like a typical "punish everyone" in order to address one problematic person.

Re: Upcoming Classifieds Process and Rules Changes
I personally would much rather see a single item per post, with a title describing such. Seeing a page if posts with the title 'handguns for sale' because a seller is only allowed a single thread seems like a step backwards to me.
Otherwise I like the 1 month format.
My 2 cents, worth what you paid for em

Re: Upcoming Classifieds Process and Rules Changes
I post in classified rarely (and no one buys my shit anyway), but man, I am COOOOOONFUSED. It seems like it will be REALLY EASY for a person to unintentionally violate these rules without maintaining some meticulous records as to what they've posted, and when.
Having written that...I will go back and read the OP again to see if I remain confused.....
The rules will be updated so that an individual user will only be allowed to have one thread per classifieds forum that appears within the "Default View Age", which will be 1 month. Any user who posts two threads within that window, within the same classifieds forum, will receive a new "Classifieds: Reposting Too Soon" infraction that will result in a 1 day ban and a deletion of all classifieds posts.
1). Before posting, review the section and see if they've posted anything in the last month in that section.
2). Only post one thing in a section per month....sort of locking out high-volume sellers (I'm not high volume, so doesn't affect me)?
3). Lean toward creating vague "for sale" thread titles because they've posted 30 things for sale in their post, since they can only post once per month.
Do I understand this correctly?
Rather than generating an infraction - why not just prevent posting in the forum within the restriction period more than once? When a person goes to submit, decline with a message? Surely this must be reasonably possible? No?
Deleting an existing thread so you can post a new one to get around this rule will result in long bans.
I agree - that's retarded. I'd hate to see 50 "FS: Guns" threads.
On an unrelated note - and maybe this belongs in the "ideas" forum....maybe you could consider creating a "Classifieds Member" section. Charge $50/year (or whatever) for the "frequent sellers" to get the privilege of better posting conditions? Or charge $1/bump or something. Make some revenue for you while you're improving the quality of the classifieds?

Re: Upcoming Classifieds Process and Rules Changes
Old way seemed fine to me. When i go to the classifieds, the new posts and bumps are bold, so they are pretty easy to see. If somebody is dedicated enough to log in every 3 days to bump, more power to them. I also find it humorous to see the same ad bumped since obama was president. I guess i just need to get upset about more things.

Re: Upcoming Classifieds Process and Rules Changes
I didn*t have a problem with the old setup, but I don*t have to monitor the posts*
I would like to see an option to sort by region, at least for firearms. Odds are, I won*t be buying a gun and having it shipped across the state.

Re: Upcoming Classifieds Process and Rules Changes
This plan sounds like you’re just tired of moderating the classifieds and are going to end them.

Re: Upcoming Classifieds Process and Rules Changes
Instead of punishing ALL the members here who do use the classifieds responsibly, only limit those who don't
That...is a more equitable solution.
