Why oh Why Mr Moderators??

Thanks for the explanation 99gti. I was quite against the strict rules involved with the classifieds section of the forum but in the way you've put it, it's a good idea to keep doing what you guys are doing.

By the way, EuroCCA employs the same rule too in their classifieds. They basically lock down all the threads that are in the classifieds section as soon as they are posted. However it does move a lot slower.

P.S. Enforce users to use the template Brackie had written up! Possibly include location in it too.

We have been trying to avoid locking threads because then the creator can't modify them. Often people have after thoughts or recieve PM's and they do update the posts.

The template Brackie wrote up is great and ensures posts are clear and concise with what it is they are selling. Unfortunetly people either are not reading the sticky, or they are choosing to ignore it. Brackie is one of the above mentioned people who has chosen to step down. This was a big loss for the site as he was someone of great knowledge - someone who is greatly missed by all.

But where do we draw the line with related questions? This is where it can become a bit grey so we ask you to do it via PM's. We get people who ask do you have this and do you have that and alot of it is just dreaming. This only renders searching the site useless!

This brings me back to our previous problem of when is "related" no longer relevant? Idealy it'd be nice to not have this area of confusion so I'm keen to hear all of your ideas.

I'm pretty sure too. I've closed my own thread before and have reopened it again when I had a question to a similar topic. However I'm not sure if we can reopen threads that have been closed by mods/admin.

Steve - didn't you have a go at this a while back?

the original poster can still access their thread and repost.a few locked threads in classifieds were added to today by the creator.
