RULE #2

** In the Socal Forsale Section:

If you are selling MULTIPLE items.. Please make a "Your Screenname GARAGE SALE" This is much easier, less threads, and people will click more to see your new updates. On the TOPIC Descriptions "New item Added" will generate more clicks. Of course this is for members only.
__________________________________________________ _________________

***YOU MAY NOT TYPE IN ALL CAPS.. ONLY 1 WORD CAN BE IN CAPS TO HIGHLIGHT WHAT YOU NEED TO SAY OR SELL. TYPING IN ALL CAPS CAN BE VERY VERY VERY VERY ANNOYING AS YOU CAN SEE. (AUTOMATIC LOCK)

__________________________________________________ __________________
RULE #4

#2 You may not use ANY "******FS*****, *&&^^LOOK HERE&^%$$ (In the main TOPIC TITLE)

No " !@#$%^&*()" or any characters on the MAIN TOPIC LINE. That's for CO ONLY to use, to get the attn of the members. (AUTOMATIC LOCK)
__________________________________________________ _________________


We will start locking threads, if its not in this format. This will make it alot easier for buyers to identify.

Why does the format matter?

This format will make it easy for sellers and buyers to identify. With the "garage" sale thread, it will eliminate 5-6 threads by the same owners selling 5-6 different items.

I have seen a few people use this format, and it has worked perfectly.

It's true


But once the word gets around (1 week or so), the format will be easy and everyone will get the hang of it.

If they don't follow the format, then they just wasted 5 mins of their life posting and having to repost it again.

I'll have some people think I'm crazy, but the end results are going to be real good.

A few other sites, if you are not the thread starter, you can't even post on that thread. (site enabled and lock you from posting)

(Why? Saves the .02 cents of the users who likes to post crap, and not buy..)

I'm working on that, if the owners are willing to work with me.
