Fao moderators

It might be a good idea to add something to the heading in cars for sale, that reads --- ""please read this before posting"" that something being, letting posters know that a response to their post cannot unfortunately be posted. This new rule has been introduced without, as far as I can see, concern to update the posting advice.
I bring this up as a recent poster, who asked for opinions in 'cars for sale' section, is probably waiting for a reply, which due to this restriction is in for a long wait.

Its a good idea you raise, but its not exactly a "new" rule... it was put in place when I was a Moderator some time ago. It was decided at comittee level that it had to be put in place due to complaints from sellers about critisism and untrue (un-justifyable?) Statements

Sometimes the comments were perfectly justified !!

Agreed sometimes they were but the comments were putting sellers off advertising on this site which meant many items were just placed on either Ebay or thrown away!
