If you like you can be placed on the banned trader list prohibiting you using the classifieds and PM system, easy solution.
Bored of trying to communicate with you now!
But it's not. It shouldn't be up to a thread like this to make the rules clear. If you're going to delete posts based on rules, at least actually have them in existence so people know of them ffs. Not having a go at you Dan, just making a point.I dont put the announcments up nor the rules However... everyone thats read this and the last thread now knows, ive been told that its in the announcments.
Although I do think it's a great idea that a price and picture has to be included though. As said it saves a lot of messing around and keeps the for sale section clean.

sticky at the top of the parts for sale section
Cant see your for sale advert?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Its probably because all parts for sale advert threads need to be approved by a member of staff. This is to maintain a high quality of trading within the site.
See the section announcements for the rules surrounding for sale adverts.
Thanks.
Tom, What's your point? It doesn't say anything about that ads need to contain to be approved.
Kyle for arguments sake, its at the moderators discretion wether a thread will be approved or not, and ive since stated why this is.
I'll get Tom to edit his sticky to be more precise,
Clean slate, square one, from today, calm down
