Abuse of Classifieds Forum

[bang guy]

People - This forum is for "A forum for members to sell their used aquarium supplies."
Abuse in this forum exceeds the combined violations in all of the other threads and more. If the coral selling, links to ----, links to other sites, etc. continues I will recomend that the management of this site close this forum permanently.
Responding to a thread that violates the user agreement or the intent of this forum is just as bad and posting the violation in my opinion. This is a free advice site provided by a commercial internet retailer, it is just poor taste to advertise in direct competition to the owners of this site.
I mention this because it's so time consuming to moderate this one forum. Most of the Sharks barely have time to help hobbiests because they have to moderate this forum. If you want to keep it please encourage everyone to follow the rules.
Thank you for listening
Bang

I agree with you, but to just up and close this, well, thats exessive, and will not happen. IMO.

I have purchased a few items from SWF and been VERY happy. :happyfish
Maybe the moderators should post links to items for sale on your website. I surf another message board, and most people get the hint when they are given an invitation to buy from the sponsor. A little self promotion might go a long way toward curbing the abuse.

Maybe if swf.com would have somthing in stock they could sell there stuff maybe if they allowed you to purchase one or two items and pay a small shiping fee they could sell more I dought any thing in this fourm has cost them any sells I have not bought from them becaus i would never put that much into one tank at one time just is not smart to do. I know no one around where I live that is into this hobby to buddy up with so untill someone owning swf.com can get it together I will just check out there site and enjoy this fourm.

Would it be possible to have the location of the seller from their profile shown next to the thread name in the classified section? This would help a little when scanning through the classifieds.
