As a Moderator for the for sale section I have noticed here as of late, we have many who have either forgot the rules, or have never read them. Or, simply think they do not apply to them!
The most common reason for moderation seems to be:
BS in reply to a post.
If it is not a question about what's for sale, or an offer, or something that will POSITIVELY aid in the sale, then please refrain from posting it.
Posting for sale or trade of Guns, ammo, or any other type of weapon or part of a weapon.
It is not allowed, period! If you want to discuss any of this, PM said poster. If you are the original poster, then expect NOT to find your post the next time you go to view it.
Ebay ads, or Craigs list ads, are not allowed at all in the for sale section.
Not even for intention of showing a picture.
IF I see it, it will be deleted
Price
Even if you are wanting to trade, post a price if you want to post it. Otherwise, it will be deleted. No OBO, this isn't a price. No what you have in it, that don't matter, post what you are willing to accept.
Here are the rules. Read them, and follow. Make our job less and allow us to enjoy the board as you do
Commerce Forum Rules/Information:
Clearly describe your item. If any helpful information about your item to assist in the sale and eliminate possible questions. Some helpful details to include are: year, make, model, mileage, condition, color, tread depth, size, etc..
For best results include a photo of you item.
NOTE: Why Can't I Upload Pictures ?
Once your item(s) have been SOLD please edit your post to indicate it's been SOLD, or contact a Moderator for a prompt deletion.
90 Days - All ads not active for 90 days will automatically be purged from the system. If you wish to keep your ad active simply update it, or post a reply to your thread indicating you still have the item(s).
NO Commercial Ads - No advertising for a car dealers, or businesses there is a vendor forum. Private Party Sales only.
NO Group Buys - Outside the scope of this section, but may be addressed if needed.
NO E-bay/Craigslist Ads - If you want to sell it here, simply post your ad and your asking price, like everyone else.
NO Feeler Posts - or checking interest posts. Either you want to sell an item our you don't. If your not sure DON'T post.
NO Cross Posting - Do NOT post links to items posted on OTHER sites.
NO Chit Chat - This is NOT the forum to comment how cool someone's chrome rims and Thornbirds are. Acceptable comments and questions should positively aid the sale of the item or answer a question.
NO BS/Slams - No Slams or any negative comments about an item. If you feel an item is over priced, simply don't buy it. If you must comment send the person a PM.
No posting of animals/pets for sale.
NO posting of weapons for sale - This includes ANY type of gun, knives, bow and arrows. Don't post it. It is a liability issue that the board will not accept.
NO Controlled or regulated items - Basically if you need to be licensed or are required to fill out paper work to buy OR sell it, Don't post it here. This includes explosives, regulated chemicals, etc. If your not really sure if you item meets this criteria. DON'T post it...
NON Supporting Members - Max of 3 posts per section, no excessive bumping. You will not be warned your shit will be deleted.
NAME - If your profile is complete you're all set, else you MUST include at a minimum your FIRST name. If your selling something for a friend they must be identified.
PRICE - All ads MUST include a price. This must be the price you realistically hope to get for the item. For example, you cannot put $1,000,000 as a price just to say that you did post a price. The point of this rule is to avoid buyers having to ask how much the seller wants. If you really want to sell your item, then you have a real price in mind that you will take for it, so post that price. Moderators will delete ads that have no price, or that have an obviously fabricated price just trying to avoid the rules.
LOCATION - All ads MUST include a location, (City, State)
CONTACT INFO - Specify additional contact information, if other than PM. i.e. e-mail, phone, etc.
NO Name, NO Location *OR* NO Price = POST DELETED.
