WHY IS MY THREAD LOCKED?!
 

** Copied from Ckits OP in R&C Forum **

Due to a rash of spammers in the general for sale sections, the site admins have asked that we also follow similar formatting of threads for our own protection.

Note, I do not make the rules. These are site rules.

Rules are here:
New posting format rules (site wide):
All Listings will follow the templates below or will be locked/removed without notice.

Location State must be in the thread title (NOT the subtitle). This rule is because viewing this forum in the IB app or on mobile devices doesn't show the secondary title line.

TITLE EXAMPLES:

"CA - Garage Sale - seats, exhaust, misc" - You may include your screen name in the Garage Sale threads
"MI - greddy exhaust"
(Please note you DO NOT have to list every item to you have for sale in the title)

RULE #1
New Format of Selling:
(Copy and paste in the EXACT same order)

FS:

Thread Title: "CA - Garage Sale - seats, exhaust, misc" / "MI - greddy exhaust"

First Name: <---- Leave this out, Automatic Lock
Price: (Firm/OBO) <---- Leave this out, Automatic Lock. Bogus Price, Automatic Lock. No Price, Make me an offer..Automatic Lock
Location: City, State <---- Leave this out, Automatic Lock
Contact: Email? PM? Phone? <---- Leave this out, Automatic Lock

(copy and paste above)


For WTT:

Items you have to trade:
Items you want: <---- Leave this out, Automatic Lock
Location: <---- Leave this out, Automatic Lock
Contact: Email? PM? Phone? <---- Leave this out, Automatic Lock

(copy and paste EXACTLY above)

__________________________________________________ __________________

RULE #2
If you are selling MULTIPLE items.. Please make a "GARAGE SALE" thread

Proper way: "CA - Garage Sale - seats, exhaust, misc"

This is much easier, less threads, and people will click more to see your new updates out of curiosity.
You may also post your screen name in the title - "speedy bob - Garage Sale thread" for example.
__________________________________________________ _________________

RULE #3
***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. (AUTOMATIC LOCK)
__________________________________________________ _________________

RULE #5Pictures are required for all listings (some exceptions to this) and include a piece of paper with your screen name and date.

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

Complete Marketplace Rules are here - https://www.s2ki.com/...efore-you-post/

Please reformat your FS thread if it does not meet this guideline. Within 24 hours I will start reviewing and locking threads.

Love it!

I love this:

Cuz I always buy my parts from my phone.

I understand the formatting rules. Here is my question: I want to post a for sale thread for a 2008 part out I have. Is it ok to post pictures of the car in its entirety, and a picture of the Odometer and essentially tell people what few things are not for sale? For example, I'm keeping the entire drivetrain, rear subframe and suspension, and seats. The rest of the car is for sale. PM me for a price. Can I do that? Thanks1

That sounds reasonable. just include your location in title. and mention its full part out and have an exclusion list.

Thanks!

Locked out.
 

It seems like I'm locked out and i haven't posted a ad for sale .
