Allow Comments in For Sale Ads

My first guess, the members want to make comments.......................

Some members want to -- but people should trust me when I say, it would be a disaster. Why? Because if we were to allow comments, it would be ALL comments. So that would include the "that's garbage" or "I will sell that same part for half the price". Once those comments start what you'll get is less people willing to sell parts because they don't want the aggravation. Then there will be less parts available here for everyone restoring their cars. I can't see how thats good for the members in general or the site.

Getting back to the thread here folks...… I know what the mods and the owner said, but what do the members want? And what about the choice, allow or disallow comments by the OP?

Don't take this wrong, but I can't put enough emphasis on it. I will not, under any circumstances, change the rules to allow free commentary in for sale ads. PERIOD. On this issue, I believe strongly that I know what is best for the site, and open commentary isn't it. So pushing the issue will be fruitless.

Further, I have a simple question... Why is this so important to anyone? That one I have never understood. Why is it important to you to be able to comment on a for sale ad? Relevant questions about something your thinking about buying I understand, but why is it so important, for example, that you tell someone how nice the car they are trying to sell is?
