Multiple postings - zero tolerance xxxx


Recommended Posts

Just a reminder that if you have more than one item to sell, please list them all on one post rather than starting lots of individual posts.


This helps to keep the boards fair for all - if one person starts 8 separate posts it means others get pushed down faster, which then starts the other problem of people bumping posts.


Multiple threads are removed without warning. If you can't find your thread, chances are that's the reason why.


Thanks all for your cooperation.

Time for a reminder about this rule, as there are a number of culprits once again posting many times.


If you wish to reduce the price of an item, please don't use this as an excuse to bump your post back to the top of the list a few hours after first advertising it - just edit your original post to reflect the new price.


Has your post disappeared? Chances are you have broken the rules.


If I emailed every person to let them know I would rapidly run out of hours in the day, so your understanding and cooperation is appreciated.

Time for a reminder regarding this rule, as it's the time of year when the classified board starts to move quickly. Please don't start multiple posts to sell items, add them all to one, or two, threads.


Multiple posts are removed without warning, as I simply don't have time to email everybody individually.


Thanks for your understanding.

Hello, had to do 3 different ads to sell items I could have put together but because I created a document with pictures and even though I tried to compress it several times it still wasn't fitting into the allowed 614KB so the only way I could do it - was to split it based on the category/age they were covering. Hope it's ok

I've seen so many multiple posts on the for sale section and this family classifieds section i.e. some people are creating 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or more separate posts and this makes more pages to read so it's still a problem.


Maybe they don't know that they just need to click on the 'reply to this message' blurb to make it a continuous post?

You need to add to pre-existing sale posts. Mostly I'm operating on a common sense basis. Sometimes members advertise things for sale and then someone comments on an old post which then brings it back to the front page, which is fair enough. Other members, like someone whose posts I've just deleted for the second time, are making (in this case 13) separate posts for every item and it's not on.


The aim of this rule is to make the classifieds section as fair as possible for everyone. It really shouldn't be that hard to stick to.

Hi,


I've just seen your message about not posting multiple times. Just wanted to check this as I have a lot of things for sale but can only attach three pictures to a post. Do you have any suggestions?


Thanks,


Natasha

    • Yes but the point of saying "through" or "thru" is that it unambiguously includes Friday!!! So your suggestions actually prove the point!
    • I'd say sending them  the affidavit and offering them a full refund for the return of the machines is a great idea. By far the least hassle for you, and will put them on the spot if they have been telling lies. If you end up having to give them the refund, you will be no worse off than you were before the sale (assuming they don't damage the machines, of course). But I know nothing about the legal issues (if any) around all this. Citizens Advice might help if you run into further difficulties? Good luck! 
    • The point is that these door to door sellers are doing it under false pretences, and claiming to be part of a project that doesn't exist.
    • thanks for your helpful PM with feedback, Angelina.  So far the update is, going to do an affidavit regarding the fact that the machines were working when they picked them up and email that to them together with an offer of a full refund if they wish to return everything. My instinct is they are trying to call my bluff to get a discount as I know they were very keen to get hold of this particular machine which they then planned to refurb. It would still be helpful to have more advice / feedback if anyone else would like to reply.
