To avoid the for-sale / wanted threads from getting hijacked, it is possible to lock the thread so only the thread originator can modify or add to it? If anyone else wants more info they can use PM.

The problem with this is that they will quickly fall down the list...

I agree that for sale should just be for sale comments questions about the car. Make it a site rule.

Why's that a problem, if the for sale section only contained adverts and not opinions, then people will be happy to scan through a couple of pages to see whats for sale.

Thankfully neither ebay, Auto Trader or Piston Heads allow people to post opinions on adverts.

And also stop people with cars for sale posting on other peoples cars saying theirs are better deals and having advertorials showing a build up adding value to otherwise unsellable old nails
Also stop people deleting their posts when they have been abusive to other forum members and showing their true colours  Banished back to RRS for the moment !!!

Maybe we should just not allow selling of cars on the forum, unless your a paid up trader. Everyone seems to get their knickers in a right twist about it.

If someone is trying to sell their car as something its not - it's going to get pulled apart, and rightly so. If you're going to sell something be honest about its condition and what it actually is. This is the way we would all like to buy a car after all!

A trader has no emo attachment to the car they are selling and generally has the car in good order and advertised correctly. Therefore I would hope would attract less problems. This also becomes more of a "business deal" when talking money, where as recently the vulgar topic has upset a few people, especially with people quoting PM's etc etc.

Just my thoughts out loud.

Why's that a problem.

Because in reality people cant be arsed to look two posts down to see that their question has already been answered. To ask them to look on page two is asking too much!  

on the RRS forum i believe they charge for listings...

going on from DAN's post , i find its annoying that members with only a few posts list their cars for sale... ... - .- -.

I think locked for sale posts with communication via PM or Email.

no way, i like to be nosey...

I'm divided.

As a selling i would feel - butt your nose out unless you want to buy it.

As a buyer - thanks for informing me its overpriced.
