how about............

[sadlonelygit]

the 'for sale' section is off limits for the first 5 posts.
pretty sure a dynamic admin (like wot we 'as) could sort that out

[t140]

not a bad idea, even though some of the replies are amusing.

It probably wouldn't make any difference, they'll just clutter up the 'General' or model-specific areas with the advert instead.

Are we *so* inundated with people signing up just to post For Sale ads that this is really a problem? I don't think so.

Oh oh. Jonah'd


Watch the influx

All you will get is people posting four posts along the line of " I agree" or "cool" just before posting the add!


Its a shitty thing to join a forum just to sell something - but you just have to accept that some people are just  a bit of a shit!


P.S they may just one day be selling some thing we need - so it's not all bad.

2 for sale posts as there first post this week.
I think this is a good idea.

[Grahamm]

Cool.

[Grahamm]

I agree.

And what can you do about crap like this above! 

[Farjo]

I've deleted the spam and the account. We get quite a lot of it, normally users with links in their signatures - but that's another topic.

I personally am against this suggestion for the reasons already posted: people will either post 5 crap posts or just post the ad elsewhere. And in any case, so long as it's bike / Fazer related it may actually be useful.

We will continue to delete the non-bike ads like the stuff we had today.

[Skippernick]

Ok fair do's.
Can we delete GrahamB

[Farjo]

  GrahamB was referring to several spam messages that had been posted that morning in this board, not the contents of this thread.

Cool
