Boat for sale posting deleted???

[danemanny]

I posted an ad for selling my boat and it has been removed. I believe I followed LSF rules. Any insight to this?

I’ll let Kirk or a moderator find out why it was deleted but as for me and if I were selling a boat I would show more of it than this. good luck.

I couldn’t give you an absolute on who or why this was deleted but if this was sitting in the classifieds for a long period of time with no refreshing it more than likely was deleted due to general maintenance. Moderators will occasionally go through the classifieds section to clean it up to avoid a lengthy area of the site with many posts that have little to no traffic.

I had 4 pictures and a brief listing with the CL posting # for all info and an additional 15 or so pictures. Just used this picture as a reminder of it.

Just listed it yesterday.

So again, not exactly sure the reason?

Here are the rules. Since you mentioned you had a CL post for the same boat, that’s probably the reason for it getting removed. Very lame if you ask me. Who cares if you have a link to CL?

(a) Sellers
• All “for sale” ads must include an asking price. Do a Google search if you are unsure of market value.
• No commercial activities. That includes Sanford and Son types. If you wish to advertise, contact us.
• No external links. (Don’t just link to your ad on Craigslist, Ebay, etc) Some employers block access to these sites anyway. Please take the time in creating your ad. Add a picture if possible.
• Ads that are neglected will be deleted after a reasonable time. Please don’t post an ad if you are not intending on visiting the site again. Keep an eye out for replies to your ad, or any private messages you may receive, etc.
• Do not excessively bump your ad. You are allowed to bump your ad to the top not more than once every 72 hours (3 days) which is a reasonable timeframe.

Below are the rules. Since you mentioned you included a CL post I assume the ad was removed because of that, which is really lame if you ask me. I don’t understand what the problem is with having a link to a CL ad. It’s not like LSF is losing business because of that.

You have to have a price

And you Can Not have a Craig’s List link.

I looked in the admin area and there was no info there as to it being deleted. It may be the CL reference, (you did not have a link) or maybe by accident.

List it again and maybe some engine info. That is what I noticed wasn’t there.

Yes, Yes that is a 39" Pike.

[danemanny]

Yeah, maybe that’s it. But… technically it wasn’t the link to the CL posting. I did have the 10 digit post ID number so if people were really interested, they could see more information and pictures.

[danemanny]

Thanks for all the help. I will list it again when I get home from work. I did have a price which is the biggest fault and probably the most often left out. Thanks again

danemanny, I deleted your post because it had a link to craigslist and that is against LSF rules. It sounds nit picky but if we let it start happening than all the ones in the past that we deleted would make a lot of people mad. I tried to pm you but for some reason the pms are messed up. Re list with no link and there will be no problem. Sorry about the pms…….Kirk

Why not just update the rules? Who cares about past posters, I doubt anyone is going to get too upset about it. I assume you’ve got the power to change the rules or at minimum stop enforcing the dumb ones since you’ve been the main reason the lights have stayed on around here.

Believe it or not I do not have the right or capabilities to change anything. These rules were put in place from day one and we just try and keep it the same. And I care about the past posters and all of our members so we are all treated fairly in the past as well as the future. Again I do this because I truly enjoy this site so much and try and do little things to keep the lights on. I appreciate your comments though and appreciate your membership here on LSF…………..Kirk

Ok… thanks for the response.

I will repost without the Craigslist ID number.

If that was the case there would only be 4 forums left in the whole place.
