How about locking the classified threads so only the poster can make changes?
Don't misread my intent, as I'm all about free speech. If you have something for sale, then it's yours for sale and your thread shouldn't be hijacked by someone that thinks you are over priced. If you are over priced, then you'll know it without someone telling you what an idiot you are for pricing it so high. If you want to tell everyone that the guys an idiot for pricing so high, then start a new thread. |

Pelican went to OP only posting on classifieds, and honestly I liked it better when I owned my old car business. Perry is right, sometimes your thread gets hijacked by someone that wants to argue with you behind the anonymous wall of the internet.
For example, we had a car for sale that some guy was convinced he had owned and totalled at some point, and that we were fraudulently selling as non-damaged. I was away on vacation when this guy got going, and it went to 3 pages of how car dealers are scum (mostly true, but regardless), that my business was fraudulent, that you should never buy from us....you know, the mob mentality. Even though when I had gotten back and had to PROVE it was not the same car, the damage was done and it took over a year to repair an image issue that was never really there. Because the internet is instant, everyone expects and instant repsonse, and when you don't respond immediately, some things can get out of hand quickly. Just my $.02 |
