It's people attitude what is destroying this marketplace in my opinion and any posts talking about capitalism bull**** won't change what I think. Most members I've seen here calling for more rules and censorship in Classified ads are those who would benefit most from less informed buyers.



And before someone goes all capitalism this, capitalism that: censoring replies in threads is another form of stifling competition. So much for invisible hand nonsense when policing favors the sellers.



Really? If true, that would be very telling.Back OT, if a post is "damn, you are selling that POS for way too much money, and OBTW, you ripped a bunch of people off last time!" that doesn't seem like threadcrapping to me. Neither is "Wow, nice piece, I can't afford it, but GLWS!"But "that costs too much and capitalist bastids are driving out the good people who built this city and let me tell you a story about when I lost my house, my truck and my dog to a nefarious eBay seller" or " wow I am so glad we have such a wonderful place where beautiful people like you can sell their wonderful stuff and let me tell you a story about how my life was changed when I bought this...". Those, IMHO, have no place in a for-sale thread. Off-topic and long-winded just get in the way.If you have a broad philosophical question, like "are positive comments threadcrapping?", then start a thread.Exactly.Like.This.Thread.- Ron | samwisekoi
