For Sale Ads now Close 30 days after last posting.

Let me ask you this then, if an system can't be implemented to stop the carpet bombers from posting a full page of ads at one time?
Can you just put in the "Rules" that you can only post so many ads at a given time, limit the amount of them?
Guess it would be self policed if the members follow the rules or not, in all the for sale sections.
But a few are taking serious advantage for themselves the way it is now.
My 2 cents on the subject, anyway.

Since only since only Gold members can bump posts there really should be a limit on how many threads get bumped in a day. 5 threads a day per forum would sound fair to me. There are only a few carpet bombers. They should be easy to spot and a simple pm/conversation should correct the issue. Then maybe I could take the carpet bombing members off of ignore.

It could go something like this.

Parts/Car Seller:
  1. Ads may NOT be placed by businesses. If you are a business contact the site Admin, Joeychgo for information on becoming a vendor.
  2. Have a descriptive Title. Don't just post A Body Parts in the title. Be more descriptive so the buyers know at least a little about what your selling. (Example Title: Duster Suspension Parts)
  3. No Bumping of ads.
  4. FABO Gold Members may bump their ads once every 3 days. No more then 5 ads may be bumped per day in each specific For Sale forum.
  5. No repeated posting of same ad for 30 days unless the thread was closed and the item became available again. Threads will close automatically after 30 days.
  6. Please try to limit each thread to 1 part unless the parts are directly related. (ie Duster Suspension Parts)
  7. eBay auctions are permitted, but please give some detail of the item as well as the eBay link. DO NOT post just the eBay item number, post the link. Same thing goes with Craigslist or other 3rd party sites.
  8. You must Post either an Asking Price or Make offer with a BIN Price. (We prefer you post an asking price)
  9. Location (Preferably City & State) MUST be in the ad
  10. Please mark the thread as SOLD when the item(s) are sold. (We don't delete ads - please don't ask us to)
  11. Do NOT post email addresses or phone numbers in your ad or in any response to an ad. Use the PM feature. Only FABO Gold Members may place email and phone numbers in ads.
  12. Do not argue with others in the thread.
  13. Photos may help sell the part/car
