Default A moan about the "For Sale" section!

Can something be sorted so that certain individuals don't put numerous seperate items in there and then bttt the whole fookin lot on mass every 5 fookin minutes I have numerous things in there but do on occasion like this morning put several items in 1 thread! At the moment it seems like people are fighting for the top and it means unless you join in with the sillyness your stuff is off the 1st page within hours

new rule maybe stating that you can only BTT once per week?

i dont see a problem with BTTTing stuff, but only after a week or so, not a few hours

if they want to sit at the computer all day popping things back up the top,they are very boring and most probably desperate,let them get on with it,genuine buyers will search through all items anyway
cheers

Spadge,

I noticed that too......fuc**ng annoying or what?

Dont know what can be done

Means that our posts fall off the page within a couple of hours, when in reality they should stay there for 2 - 3 days at least

I did 3 seperate items in 3 seperate posts, so that people could see in the title what each bit was. Didn't think it pissed people off, as serious buyers will have a root around.

I will in future put them all in one as seems consensus is that ppl rather have them all in one post.

I won't be BTTT'ing them all the time though - once a week is a max really otherwise you get pissed off at seeing the same things all the time.

I thought you wern't coming on here again you bull shitting turd
That is absolute shite Phil as per usual and you know it
Do you ever say anything you really think or do you just say the opposite to what everyone else does????
I could do that if i wanted but what would the point be? I could fill the for sale section no problem but would rather common sense prevailed

Jules..you HAVE done it the past...having multiple posts when 1 would suffice!!!!


...and on another gripe you should only be posting in the TRADE forum as you are that TRADE.....you do it for a living.

I understand it as PRIVATE FOR SALE.

Get with the times Phil you Muppett
The Cosworth parts for sale section is open to BOTH trade and private and has been for a long time now You were obviously sulking at the time that was decided
As for multiple posting yes i have a few on there but I do not go on there every 5 minutes and bttt the lot on mass which is what i was complaining about

I couldn't give a flying fook if my adverts fall off the page if people are being sensible! Its when tossers do as i have said above it irritates me and others! If there are no rules i guess i will just have to join in with the stupidity So glad i paid 90 quid for the pleasure

Here's my 10p's worth, PassionFord is by far the worst offender on the net for threads being in the wrong forum. This chaos keeps the general discussion one lively, but it's a proper pain in the ass too!!
