Suggestions for Marketplace threads

I've always been bothered about some of the for sale threads. Please read my suggestions and give some input.

Thanks
  • Post threads in the correct forum.
  • FS Threads - must include the following information:
    Name
    Location
    Means of Contact
    Description
    Price - this means no "testing waters" threads. OBO still needs a price listed.
  • WTB/WTT Threads - must include the following information:
    Name
    Location
    Means of Contact
    Item you're looking for/trading
  • Vehicles for SALE - Threads must have pictures! If you do not have pictures yet, wait until you do before making a thread or it will be closed. If you need a host see this thread.
  • No third-party threads. You need your own account to post in classifieds.
  • Do not bump threads more than once a day. Do not bump threads you did not start.
  • Comments about the price a person is asking, your post will be edited/deleted.
  • Negative comments posted about a person or their thread, your post will be edited/deleted.
    If you have evidence that this person is a scammer, PM a moderator.
  • Please do not low ball. It will be considered a low ball offer if you offer less than 90% of the asking price.
    Low ball offers will be edited/deleted. If you feel your offer might have a chance, submit it through PMs.
  • Posts which are found to have no value to the thread will be edited/deleted.
  • Do not spam your classified threads in other people's threads unless they specifically made such a request.
  • Do not just paste a link to another webpage such as eBay or copy and paste from another ad. If you do this your thread will be closed.
  • If your thread gets locked, there was a reason for it. If you start another thread about the same thing you will be banned. PM a moderator if you have a question.
  • Upon completion of a sale or receiving items wanted, please report the post saying so. The thread will then be closed.
Cobaltss.net is not responsible for any interactions on the site. The forums are here as a courtesy to you. If you do not follow these rules action will be taken on your account up to and including revoking access to the forums.

These are in addition to the forum rules. Classified rule violations will be handled in the same manner as the forum rules.

This requires the mods to take more of an active role. I think it will work.

I really like this idea...

Maybe the Admin could assign someone to Moderate just the classified section, to keep the load off the current mods.

Yeah "testing the waters" is bull ****! I've seen people testing them for months at a time and then make a "I'm almost ready to sell" thread for a couple more months.

Either sell the ****** part or STFU already!

I want to know who I am dealing with also. Screw the nic's, I want to know a name. Don't feel comfortable, use ebay or don't sell. I also dislike having to guess a price, then when you give one, they get pissy about the offer and seem hurt.

Doc, I like it! Can you copy and paste your thread in each classified section since this was your work? I will sticky it and lock it. Thanks a ton for your contribution!
