Classifieds Section Etiquette
So, I figured that since we are starting up this section for selling things, there should be rules that are outlined. I just pulled this from Supraforums because they have a very good For Sale section that is very organized.
Hachi, Ichi, and Wings, you're more than welcome to tell me I'm dumb and that we don't need this, I just think it will be helpful. So firstly, you must fill this out: -What is your First & Last name?: -What is your email? (Optional): -What is your phone number? (Optional) : -What is your City? : -What is your State? : -What is your Zipcode? : ...and put it at the beginning of your thread. Along with that, make sure you put an accurate description and some pictures! Secondly, you shouldn't post in a thread unless you are actually inquiring about the item because you have a genuine interest in the item. Thirdly, You can only bump once a day (Mods, you can change this up if you want). Fourthly, if you have post count of less than 20, forget it! You must have a post count of 20+ to get approval. Fifthly, you must put have your screen name and date in your picture set, so that we can verify that it is indeed your item. Sixthly, you must state whether or not you are willing to ship. Listing an item with a price for the item+shipping is very helpful for potential buyers! Any violation of the rules will result in the revocation of your Zx6, or at least a ban. And that's all! ModBros, if you like what you see, make it a sticky! If not, then I guess you can modify/delete it...

You should probably also have something around 50+ post before you can even post in the classifieds. That way we can keep some scammers among other things out.

^50 is a bit too much. I'll let WoW & Hachi know and let Hachi decide the rule on Classification

50 is way to many, then you will get people posting non-sense so they can sell tow hooks here. But a post minimum is a good idea, like 5. This section will need to be strictly modded for rice infractions.

Supraforums has a 2 year/200 post requirement, but that's a bit too much.
Maybe 10? And yeah! I'll be mod when I want to be. When there's actual moderating to do, I'm out!

I think 20 posts should be enough. Also pictures of what you're selling should be included. I know on the Tacoma forum, it's manditory.

Thread title with Location, FS/WTB/FT, and item. I personally like the way NASIOC has it, though the classifieds move REAL quick. Bump once a day is appropriate IMO.

I'd go with 25 myself. I wouldn't be surprised with a paid membership type deal like DIYMA (well it's mixed, you can post without being a member but have to meet post requirements), S2KI, etc. Otherwise, I will never post my phone number publically anywhere to sell something. I have no problem providing it in PM, even if the buyer wants it in advance but I'm not going to give my cell number to everyone that easily. Other requirements IMO, your location, you must OWN the item you are selling (ie no 'selling for a friend'), must be willing to ship unless it's a large item, no links to your FS ad elsewhere, bump only if your thread is off the first page (or 2).

I would like to see two Classifieds Section. One only allows FR-S/BRZ related items and the other one can be any car related items like driving shoes and racing apparels.

In my car specific forum I do three. Integra Type-R Cars only, Integra Type-R Parts, and non-ITR items which can be whatever. I doubt this will be big enough to justify breaking it out more than that.

I think thats a little too much guff. it should be simple.
Firstly the post count limit should be at least 5 no more then 10 When starting a new thread the following is needed: [FS][FT][WTB](TITLE OF THREAD) people selling should have description and picture with SN and date. keep it simple and easy. |

Almost every car forum I've been a part of has been a min of 50 posts max of 200. Utilizing the format above. And SN & date in the picture. I must say I feel like the car is getting closer and closer, can't wait to see how active these for sale forums are in the next couple of years!
