Ladies and Gentlemen,
What will it take for people to follow the rules in the classifieds? A couple of months ago I set up a modification so that any user that clicks on the classifieds is forced to view the rules and yet we still have people who don't follow them....
We have bumping threads before 7 days, comments on ads, failure to follow the title policy "WTS WTB WTT" etc
I'm getting tired of moving, editing, and deleting 5-10 threads a day in that section (we have several other mods keeping an eye on the section as well) and I'm wondering if the community would like a change.
Do you want it to be a free for all in there? No title rules? Bump whenever you want? Comment as much as you want?
Please review these rules once again and let me know what you think and maybe what you would like to see done differently

In order to participate in the classifieds section you must have a quality post count of 10 or more. This policy is in place to help weed out scammers/spammers and gives our members a chance to get a feel for you as a board member. Do not attempt to gain access to the classifieds by posting a bunch of "one liners". That will not work. Thank you and enjoy the classifieds!
The Rules
1. Please prefix your ad with:
2. You must post an asking price for your item if it is a WTS, or if it is a WTT ad but you will consider selling it outright.
3. Do not Bump your ad more than once every week (7 Days) "bump btt etc."
In addition to the obvious this bump rule also includes posts such as "pics added, new price, responded to all PMs" etc etc etc.
Once you place an ad you may edit the original post as often as you like (update with pictures, edit your price, make a note that you responded to PMs) but DO NOT make a new post about it.
Feel free to respond to questions that other members may ask but do not make posts for the sake of getting your ad to the top with in the 7 day no bump period.
4. Close your thread once your item sells. DO NOT remove the pricing that was in place as it will help cut down on the "What would be a good starting price to sell my XXX"
5. Keep comments on ads related to the ad directly.
7. No links to auctions or auction style posts unless it is an item you feel is of great interest to other INGO members and it is not your item.
Closing your thread.
