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?

I see new members all the time on one particular fishing forum , they register just to sell some used equipment ,have no idea what the forums secret is ,but there are no dealers , occasionally a fly shop with some used trade in stuff. No weeding thru anything .
