there has been a demand from people to post classifieds a la "Craigslist" - we have a current Sacramento Valley classifieds (shared by a number of sites), but I think it's never really lived up to its potential. So if you have something to sell or whatever, please post it here.

John,
A good idea, but suggest a few ground rules- mostly those that sell or whatever- edit their original posts to blank them out when the item is gone. ( just leave a one word- TAken, SOLD, ETc in the text section as have to have something or the post edit will not work.
Also suggest the First words in the topic should be FOR SALE, FREE, WANTED, For TRADE, ETc so viewers can decide what to read or not.
Surely there are many other suggestions as well as some Limits of how and WHAT can NOT be posted.

Also - if the mods could- delete any post / topic that is over 2 weeks old.

It could be a bit unwieldy in this forum format. But hey- lets try it ...

Cheers

Does this forum (IPB) have an auto-prune feature like PHPBB?

Yes, but I'm not sure I can apply it to just one forum. I'll look...

I'd like to see it limited to household and personal items. No business offers or pyramid schemes. No 'you two can be a travel agent' or 'tap into the billion dollar nutritional supplement business', or 'sell amway from home'.

That kind of stuff drives me nuts. Perhaps if there is a need, we could have a separate forum for business offers.

Ha ha. I thought that went without saying. It's spam as far as I'm concerned, and it would be deleted promptly.

The Forum already has a small Business section so limiting this one is a good idea.

But anything in either forum that would be considered shady or spam should be deleted by the mods.

Also - NO Cross posting to other forums- ( I see this on occasion now- but thankfully most are deleted by mods fairly quickly)

I would also suggest that things like Garage sales be limited to this forum as well.
