For sale ads?

For the suggestion box: Most of the spam are bots that register on the forum and immediately post multiple classified ads. One way to effectively control that is to add user rules that don't allow postings in the classified section until the user has 1) been a member >x# of days, and 2) posted >x# of non-classified posts.

This weeds out 99% of the spammers and creates a useful resource for the membership.

Good suggestion BurbMan!

Just a requirement to post items for sale, could be a 30 day membership, but having to be a full member of 50 posts or more.

The forum seems less busy, than when I became a member in 2012, so may be a good time to consider a sales section. May even generate more member activity?

It doesn't work. There are many not bot advwrtisers who will post on 70 dead threads just to reach the point where they can post in the classifieds. And that ends up even more work for the moderators to clean up.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. There aee plenty of places to sell stuff, why bog down another forum with it.
