More than two ads from the same user on the front page at any one time and they will all be deleted.
No reposting an ad for 24 hours after it was first posted.
Include a price in your ad. Ads with no prices run the risk of being deleted.

Is that going to be automatic or moderator-actioned? In fact, you could just automate it so that you can't post more than two ads if they'd appear on the front page. Excellent idea though.

Good idea. Should make people think a bit more carefully how they advertise.

That rule is already being flouted....

If you can report any posts that break the rules that would be greatly appreciated.

3 offenders on the front page as we speak!!!
Posted 3 years ago # -
No reports come through at all
Posted 3 years ago # -
I've reported 2 (more to see if they do come through or not!)

The last complaint was about someone posting two ads on the front page. That's Allowed. The rule is no more than two.

So........
If I have nothing to sell, could I "sell my user name space" to someone who wants to multiple post?

Top stuff Mark, you have my appreciation if nothing else.

Mark. This is within the rules, but it is a bit daft.

User could have easily put both in one advert.Unfortunately we have users on the board, who can't apply common sense to their ads. Sad that you have had to create a plethora of rules to 'control' what was once a rather friendly nice forum.
All the best

What do people think about making classifieds bike stuff only? The current front page is about 10% non-bike - a quick skim shows:
- camera kit
- DVDs
- a moped
- a laptopAlso, are eBay ads a good use of space? If I wanted to buy stuff on eBay I would look on eBay, not here.
Any thoughts?

Stu_N, I think part of the 'charm :)' of STW is that it's a community of mountainbikers who also have other interests; so I've swapped computer programs, bought/sold Jeans/Jackets, etc. I feel more comfortable dealing with people on the STW forum as I feel there is this communality about it, and I know people who I have met, and others just from dealing with them online, and I've never been ripped off (and hopefully never ripped anybody else off)(fingers crossed). Sure there's always the bad apple - I'm glad to see Wheels on Fire sent packing, and I totally agree with banning multiple postings (OR PEOPLE WHO SHOUT:))but otherwise I think it's a nice place to hang out; I think most of us are genuine MTBrs; that is 'addicts', who love to ride/sell/and buy buy buy bits and bikes. Happy Trails. Martin

Keep OT sales for sure, but i agree with the e-bay thing. If i want to buy from bay i go and look there, not here.
The new rules seem pretty sensible to me and i still find this a good and friendly place to be.Posted 3 years ago # -
Stevieeeh put a post on a different 'sticky' regarding folk having to put a price on their goods. I agree, too many people don't put prices on thinking they may cash in if someone offers more than they are wanting for it and simply knock back any offers under their valuation. Surely it would save a load of time and uneccessary posts if the seller put a price on their goods in the first place?

New rules have now been added to the main classified rules page, including a new rule regarding including prices in ads.
