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.

Reminder - please, if you are selling multiple items, list them all in a single post, or two posts at most. I've had to remove a lot of posts in the past few days and don't get time to email every person affected, so if your post has gone missing this is why.


Many thanks

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.

    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
    • Since I am of a certain vintage now, not sure if what I am going to suggest is even still around but here goes… use to be able to buy “dummy/mock papers on line and also had mini synopsis of Shakespeare plays specifically covering students wanting to gain a better understanding of play before taking mocks/ exams. Only know this as many many moons ago, struggled with English Literature and Language and this was the avenue-my parents went down. Also was at this point in my life, educated abroad as part of my fathers job.  
    • Love your comment about “shoehorned” - put a smile on my face..! As for comment about “Little Waitrose” ummmm - never really thought about it. Personally, could not care less. But guess Sainsbury Local and Tesco Express are to you more acceptable.. Ultimately, when I think about it, I actually don’t care what they call themselves - been lured by partially branding and partially convenience and what they offer in groceries.
