Guest WILF Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Should people who come on and make there 1st or all of there posts about selling various dog be booted off..........my opinion is that peddlers belong in the small ads of the local rag and kC magazines!

Simoman 110 Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Intersting, personally I hate the idea of people joining JUST to peddle pups and reach their "target" audience, especially first posts. Shouldn't a forum be driven and made by its members? Good debate on various threads makes a forum and people whos sole ambition is to add nothing and make some coin should be given short thrift IMO.

ChrisJones 7,975 Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 I say f**k off the Classifieds and force people to conduct business through PM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andy mecca 5 Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 make anyone using the classified section become donators and have a minimum amount of posts before advertising this will stop the tightarse messers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 I'm with Netman on this one. But, saying that; How many Posts? 100 should be minumum, surely? Shows they're actually on their way to becoming Active members of the forum. And, again, by " Posts " I mean saying something. Any retard can fast knock up a Ton by dint of simply popping up, " Nice Dog, mate. How's he bred? ", " Welcome. " and " " every time anyone opens their mouths. More work for the Moddies? I suppose so. But is being a Moddie a Duty and a job of work, or is it just an old school tie? As has been suggested above; Free ad's belong in the 'Free Ad's'. F*ck the Spammers and Free Loaders. My opinion, anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest SJM Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 I beleive that compromise is the key to resolving all problems so one way that might work would be to just have a WANTED section where people looking for a pup/gun/net/jeep/spade etc etc can advertise stating what they are looking for, and then people who see the advertisement can reply via Pm you can even make it so that people can start topics in the section but no one can reply to them, forcing them to use the pm system. I think it could work well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nell 1 Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 I say f**k off the Classifieds and force people to conduct business through PM. How can you ever advertise something through PM I hate peddlers as much as the next man and it does piss ya off a little when someone joins just to sell pups, but to get rid off the classifieds is just being silly IMO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pockets 0 Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 By limiting and verifying the indiduals allowed on THL im sure a lot of the more questionable posts would be elimanated? IMO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest WILF Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Not on about members who have been around a while........we all may have seen posts about there dogs, contributed for a while etc.........but for those who are just blatantly using the place as a free ad to sell whatever breed takes the fancy that week..............Bon Voyage IMHO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DUCKWING 302 Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 WELL SAID WILF , IF YOU LADS HAVE A LOOK THROUGH THE ADDS SECTION ........ ITS SURPRIZEING HOW MANY TIMES THE SAME NAMES APPEAR WITH LOTS OF ADULT DOGS FOR SALE ......... TO ME THIS SHOWS WHAT KIND OF DOG KEEPERS THESE FELLAS ARE !!

gnasher16 30,213 Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 I use a forum which caters for a particular make of car........members cannot even use the " for sale " section unless they have made 50 posts on the forum....ie..been a contributing member of the board....not a bad idea in my opinion.
