I find it very annoying when people post in the Classifieds section and do one or more of the following:
-Have never posted before, and/or just registered on the forums
-Do not fill out their profile
-Are not in AZ (Especially when they do not say as such in their profile/ad)
It also irritates me that the Classified rules 4 and 10 are ignored by many, including long time posters and mods.
I therefore suggest the following. Limit posting in the Classified area to those who have a certain number of posts, and/or have been registered on the forums for a certain amount of time. Add a rule (not that anyone reads or follows them [
]) that any out of state sellers must say as such in their ad or at least in their profile. Make it so that when an ad is posted, it is automatically locked, and can only be added to or edited by the seller or a mod. Finally, have a mod in charge of the classifieds. He/she’s responsibility would be to keep the ads free of clutter, and make sure the stated rules are followed.
I have no experience with managing forums, so I have no idea if any of the above would actually be doable (or if anyone else thinks it would be a good idea)
