Classified Rule Change Vote

[AJ]

The post cound to actually sell an item would stay at 50. I think after a thread is posted anyone can reply to it. But only members at a certain level can actually start a thread in any of the classified sections right now.

I actually found this site while looking for some parts.

What is the reason you have someone post 25, 50, 100 times before they can post a Wanted/For Sale ad? Well, you kinda wanna get a feel for the person before they try and run an internet scam on someone. Since the majority of the people are local to the Twin Cities, that shouldn't be too much of a problem since they're within driving distance for an ass kickin'.
Now the flip side to that is the people who have really bad grammar skills. Having to read 50 posts from them before they can post their Wanted/For Sale ad is torture for the people who have to read the posts.
If someone is new to the site and wants to sell something cheap or buy some of my parts I have laying around, bring it on. They can have 25, 50 or 100 posts, just bring cash.

Even thought I have just recently joined I have been reading daily for about 2 years and have noticed a very clean operation here.

In my opinion I thing anyone should be able to post WTB ads but not WTT or WTS sell until they have established some sort or "credibility" on the site. Like said above, it gives the members who are able to sell more hits and helps people get rid of things.

I guess you could try it out and if too many people abuse the privelege just put it back to the way it was before.

I found it a little frustrating at first but it all paid off in the end. i like it the way it is now.

i think that a person should be able to post WTB when they want for same reason as above, so we can get rid of our junk and buy more parts. i understand the sell part of it because no one wants to get ripped off. but super duty had a point about being close enough for an ass whooping

For us with shit to sell, having more people be allowed to post WTB threads will allow us more opportunities to sell our stuff.

Thank to everyone for their opinons and votes. I'd like to get another 10-15 votes from some newer members as well before I make a decision either way.

My vote goes towards keeping it the same. By opening up the WTB section, I can definitely see a number of newbie's stopping by, posting WTB ads, and never checking their ads again. Granted this is a smaller site, but Tuners used to have that as a huge problem until switching the classifieds to a closed format.

I voted to change it, but I think it should be at 25 posts. Other wise I think we would have too many people signing on just to buy stuff. That's just what I think.

Hi all, I just joined. In my situation I need to buy a DSM a 1g, I voted to change the status to being able to post a WTB. This is because I have been looking since July/August for a AWD and I have not been able to find a godo one in my price range, so for me I would want the WTB, also then once I have a car I can post a WTB for the parts I want to put on the car. This will benfit alot of people I think.
