Re: Using Parts For Sale section for breaking cars :-(
Man- the for sale section is becoming a freakin joke again....if you are breaking an engine to sell the bits then post once saying engine bits for sale...
Take a look at the MkII page just now- literally a whole page by one seller individually listing every freakin nut and bolt
Why aren't there rules about this??
Rant over

Re: Using Parts For Sale section for breaking cars :-(
There are already rules in place that adequately cover this - cars being broken should be in the breaking section - as per my original post.ashman wrote:Man- the for sale section is becoming a freakin joke again....if you are breaking an engine to sell the bits then post once saying engine bits for sale...

Rant over :eye:
Sadly, however, a couple of selfish members are choosing to ignore the rules and spoil it for everyone and will continue to do until whoever moderates that section pulls their finger out.

Re: Using Parts For Sale section for breaking cars :-(
The parts section is really starting to p*ss me off now. Surely a Moderator can just group all 500 individual items for sale from the same seller and put them into 1 thread. I'm sick of having to scroll through 2 or 3 pages of adds because of this and missing things that I actually want.
Please IMOC Committee sort this out, It can't look good to new members that join................

Re: Using Parts For Sale section for breaking cars :-(
could there not be a limit of a certain amount of for sale posts per week?
as there seems to be like 100 a day at the minute its frustrating to dig through the mk2 section to like page 5 to find things

i don't think it needs that
If you have multiple engine parts for sale list them as
"Rev 2 3sgte engine parts for sale"
Or if your like swagandsway use the breakers forum instead of cluttering up the mk2 forum listing every single item,,

Re: Using Parts For Sale section for breaking cars :-(
yeah that would be better but what i meant was as everyone ignores it can it not be restricted ?
Re: Using Parts For Sale section for breaking cars :-(
I think the lack of moderating is the real problem - dont see why offending posts cant be removed and transgressors warned leading to a ban if repeatedly ignored. very simple, very effective :-)3sgtemechanic wrote:yeah that would be better but what i meant was as everyone ignores it can it not be restricted ?

Na, just list each item seperately and keep bumping it every 24 hours !

Re: Using Parts For Sale section for breaking cars :-(
Agree with you guys it's an utter p1$$ take.
While the bits allegedly aren't from a 'breaker' so no rules are being broken as such cluttering up the for sale section with stuff that could & should go in one post is ridiculous. WTF would want to buy 2nd hand lightbulbs or knackered fog lamps FFS.

cant there be anything done about it . i.e make a new rule for it it just makes it look tacky and its a pain to look for things where there is repeatedly things being bumps on single threads.
Re: Using Parts For Sale section for breaking cars :-(
If the system I'm on wasn't so crap and my admin tools worked I'd be tempted to delete the lot and tell him to start again, properly this time!

Re: Using Parts For Sale section for breaking cars :-(
its a shame as its getting abit silly, i think something has got to be done as its abit much to post every engine detail and part in a single thread and then keep bumping them up
