Just opened ‘New Posts’

6 out of 10 were sales related. The OP had a point

It's when sellers list items individually, when it's better to do 6 things on one post then keep bumping them, they all appear on the same page. Worse when they've been trying to sell for months

Chris, there does appear to be a few types of seller on here.

The occasional seller. These are usually the one off sellers.

The down sizer/moving back to the UK. They have a few things to sell and, once sold they are off the radar

Then there are the Traders. These are serial sellers that seemingly make a living on the forum which, is against forum rules. And have done so over years,

Reet Petite? soutcoastgirl? Verapeter? hoppy1?

Nowadays, the forum’s administration is lax in policing these. I once had three items listed and Jan asked me if I were a trader. Now, apparently, anything goes

But, there are forum rules. why is it that some rules are sacrosanct but, others ignored?

I think one or two are dealers, they should have to pay to advertise.

I think some people just complain about anything. Nothing better to do with their time. Sad really.
