I don't know who's in charge here, but hopefully someone with the power to do this will be checking this out.

Your for sale section is a conglomerated mess and needs to be cleaned up. My suggestions simple and can be done in a weekend by anyone who knows the software.

First off, split the for sale section into two forums: Bikes for sale and Parts for sale.
Second, REQUIRE pictures with all bikes for sale. Zero-tolerance here. Put it in the sticky that posts without pictures will be deleted. Learn to use your cell camera! Have the for sale mods receive a once a day list of new topics.

(pictures in the parts forum are not nearly as important, so those can go on as requested like always.)

 

oh, also.
non-descriptive titles MUST be edited or deleted. Eg. no "BIKE FOR SALE!"

 

YA would think if they cared it wouldnt be like it is eh?? lol

 

Does anyone else feel the same way as willpower102?

 

requiring pics with high dollar things like bikes is just good practice, but if I had to rank importance, I would say splitting the forum would be a priority.

Although if there was even a sticky about requiring pics it would get a lot more people doing it.
(keep in mind i'm just offering friendly advice

 

I see what you are saying and I wouldn't waste my time considering if I wanted to contact a seller about anything if I didn't see a picture first. But the thing is, not everyone on here is computer savvy enough to upload pictures and post them.

We offer the classified section as a "use at your own risk" service. I know a guy personally that has a bike listed right now for sale. He doesnt have a picture posted with it cause he feels if anyone is serious about buying it, they will contact him and ask for pictures.

 

hey don what about seperating it just like the region section is ? that way it is easier to find parts or bikes for sale in your neck of the woods ?

 

Maybe for the bikes only. But definitely not for the parts. Most people I know don't care where the parts are located because they usually need them quickly and don't mind having them shipped.

 

I will check with the big boss (Patrick) and see what he says.

 

And can we do something about people bringing old fs posts back from the dead?
