The purpose of the Classified forum is to allow members of the board to trade their surplus stock and equipment. These guidelines will be followed by the moderating team. If you are in any doubt as to the acceptability or otherwise of an item, PM a moderator before posting the thread.
Members posting items for sale which are, or appear to be part of a commercial enterprise, (ongoing availability included), will have their posts removed and receive a warning, in line with the existing board rules. Members wishing to advertise commercial goods and/or services should contact the site mods or admin, these names will appear in blue in the member list at the bottom of the home page.
Items not obviously related to the hobby will be summarily removed.
To address the issue of people joining the board simply to advertise their fish or gear, threads started by members with low post counts will have their threads removed at the discretion of the moderators. The moderators decision is final.
Direct links to online auctions etc. will be regarded as adverts and summarily removed.
Under special circumstances, moderators may allow the posting of a thread which would otherwise violate these guidelines. Where this is the case, the approving moderator will make a comment to this effect in the thread. Again, the moderators decision is final, and no debate will be entered into.
Members joining for the sole purpose of posting spam will have their posts deleted and their accounts suspended. Since spammers do not read rules, I suppose this comment is pointless!
