I have seen alot of classifieds postings closed lately. To try and avoid the hastle for both the moderators, and members alike, PLEASE review the Classified Rules BEFORE posting a For Sale ad.

The main reason threads are getting closed are two simple fixes

- pictures MUST be included in the for sale thread at the time of creating it. NOT "Ill post pictures later when I get home from work." It takes two minutes to upload to photobucket, or whatever hosting you may use, and include in your ad. I know personally what its like to want to get something up as soon as possible to get it sold, but getting it locked is only going to take longer in the end.

-pictures MUST have your username and the date included in them. And MUST be renewed if you make a new thread. No ones saying your dishonest, or a bad guy, but this simply lets other members know that the part they are inquiring about is truley the part they will be receiving from the seller. In SOME cases a picture with someone who has a UNIQUE car behind the item for sale will be granted. This does not mean because your car has sportlines and window tint that it falls in this category. Its best to check with a mod before going this route unless you know it will not be an issue.

-if your selling 10 items. Have pictures for ALL 10 ITEMS. Dont put a picture up of one item, and just list the rest. This puts no credibility to the other 9 items you are selling, and doesnt help you or the buyer.
"Ill get pictures when the item comes off the car" does not work either. If its not off the car, and you dont have a picture of it, dont list it.

These are all simply precautions to make this site safe and enjoyable for everyone. If your for sale thread is indeed closed its not the moderators trying to be pains in the butt, but simply trying to protect you the seller, and someone else as the buyer. We are all here to work WITH you NOT against you. A simple PM can have things cleared up, and the ball rolling again.

Please take the time to REVEIW the classified rules seen here -

**REMINDER** DO NOT MAKE A FOR SALE THREAD UNTIL YOU HAVE ALL REQUIRED INFORMATION AS PER CLASSIFIED RULES.

FEELER "TESTING WATERS" THREADS ARE NOT ALLOWED. IF ONE IS MADE, IT WILL BE CLOSED & YOU WILL BE SENT A WARNING.

IF YOUR THREAD IS LOCKED DUE TO RULE VIOLATION, KINDLY PM ONE OF THE MODERATORS, AND LET THEM KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE UPDATED PHOTOS/DOCUMENTS. THEY WILL RE-OPEN YOUR THREAD FOR EDITING.

A SARCASTIC PM TO A MODERATOR ABOUT A FOR SALE THREAD BEING CLOSED DUE TO RULE VIOLATION WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. IF ONE IS MADE, THE MODERATOR RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DELETE THE THREAD, AND SEND AN INFRACTION.

ALSO - we ( the mod team ) are not on here 24/7. We have kids, houses, jobs, the weathers getting nicer out and we are outside more often. We may miss a thread here and there. It happens, we are human. Please if you see a for sale thread that we missed that is missing something, copy the link and PM one of us and we will take care of it.

Thank you for your continued assistance.
