This one's "Killing" me. I "must" comment to show everyone how much I know!, (don't) Options

While I agree that personal disagreements and name calling don't really serve much purpose on this site I think that others opinions on a car for sale can be quite informative. I myself have learned quite a bit about the good,the bad and the ugly on 914 from people on this site that know quite a bit more than me about the pitfalls of buying a "used 914". I wished I had read most of this constructive criticism before I bought my first few 914s. There seems to be a few people who don't mind taking advantage of those that don't know or haven't suffered thru repairing a misrepresented car.I'm sure I'm not the only one who has learned the hard way but again I repeat,I'm greatful to all the members here that voiced their opinions on cars that were not what they seemed. Most people here seem to look out for the rest of us that don't know everything so I'd say I'm not the only one that gleans most of my info on good and bad from the balanced discussions on cars,parts etc. Quote:"If you're a buyer; Caveat Emptor - be aware there are various "Resellers" who are scouring our classifieds trying to sell you stuff. Caveat emptor = Buyer Beware. Be "very" cautious about pricing. Do your homework. We're not saying these people are "bad, crooked, evil or dishonest". It has simply been brought to our attention that some are attempting to price gouge our members.

"Gang - Fair Trade is just that... "Fair". If you're haunting our classifieds just to make a buck off our members; fine. Do it at a fair price. Make no mistake, we feel this is a valuable service to our members. HOWEVER, if you're price gouging our members; we'll work together to call you out. " Anyone here agree?

Moreover; read the date of when it was written. I HAS BEEN A STICKY AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE FOR FOUR YEARS NOW (jus say'n)

I didn't make the rule. I'm put in the position of attempting to enforce it because people don't seem to remember it, care about it, abide by it, etc. I'm the one who gets bitched at when I'm not always available to monitor the carny's raiding the circus. It appears I get bitched at when I attempt enforce or remind people of it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

This is an extremely well run "self policed" site. Meaning; the monkeys run the zoo. It's just a little easier if the monkeys know the rules. Go have a banana and stop flinging poop at me! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Sorry, but I didn't see that before as a sticky Eric. My bad! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

If it applies to all types of ads, then maybe put a sticky at the overall classifieds section too as a sticky.

Also, I meant nothing against you for having to enforce the rules on here - as I said early on - but I was just saying that I disagree with the idea that only actual buyers can ever comment on ads (in a helpful & polite way), as have others.

Thanx for pointing out the sticky.
