Mods feel free to edit as you see something that you need to modify...

Threads in the For Sale forum are made by people selling their parts (sellers) and replied to by people who are interested in the parts that are listed (potential buyers). So lets start with the first rule. If you are not in either of those categories, you have no reason to post in this forum. You can browse, but chances are, if you post in a thread where you are not interested in the vehicle listed for sale, it's probably not going to be a positive post, and will just end up being some pissing match about the price of a vehicle you are not even interested in buying.

Most sellers will list their objectives in the initial post in their thread. They will usually say if the price is OBO (or best offer), or if they are or are not needing to sell the car quickly. Use the facts listed in that initial post to decide what to make your offer. Also, to keep from people unknowingly low balling, if you are not sure if your offer is a good offer, please PM the seller.

Here are the two main points:

A) Do not post in a thread unless you want to buy the product.

B) Even if you are interested, if you have a problem with the price, PM the seller. Do not start bickering in the thread about how high the price is, or how you can get your buddy's girlfriend's uncle's nephew's product for half that much. That is totally irrelevant.

C) If you do not have a good question about the part, or something positive to say about the product, please do not post in the thread. If you really feel it's neccessary to tell someone how amazingly stupid their asking price is, just PM them - there's no need to litter their thread with that banter.

D) The Golden Rule. That's right, before you hit the Submit button, think to yourself, "Would I want someone posting what I'm about to post in my thread?" If the answer is "No! I'd rip their nuts off!" or something along those guidelines, chances are, you probably shouldn't make the new post.

Use common sense people. You wouldn't want a bunch of people not interested in your product filling up your thread with how worthless it is or all the other products they can get for half that much, etc.

If you have any questions about this policy, feel free to contact me, or any of the FS moderators, or a friendly admin. These are just my newly revised ideas and think they are pretty straight forward.

Thanks.

I like this policy and think it should be applied to other areas...such as where member's post pics of their cars. I think people should get negative rep points for ruining other people's threads.

Well, nm, I'll keep it the same

oh and what does 'bump' mean on this forum?

bumping should be minimal

For some reason we are not able to delete / close our own threads / posts. I think this option should be enabled.

bumping every hour yes but somedays threads can fall back a page or 2 real quick.

well maybe like 1 thread starter bumper per is aloud after every other persons bump... but never twice in a row... the ground rules though are up top and should be the first ones to be enforced...

I'd like to add that there should be a set # of thread starter bumps per time period (I'd say 1 per day to every other day)

he's a new member, go easy on him.. just tell him what it is, because i really didn't know what it was when i just got onto the site.

bump = raises your thread up to the top so people know its there

I didn't know what it was either when I first came

sorry... guess i figured it was kinda common sense, and him being a member for 2 months... now a lesson for him, because if he doesnt' know what bump means, i gaurantee he doesn't know what TTT means...

TTT= To The Top.... same thing as a bump

BACK ON TOPIC GUYS
spread some rep points
