shouldn't there be a governing body
Don't know about you guys, but I watch the for sale section of this forum like a hawk. I have had excellent luck in the past (got 4 of my favorites from it so far) but I have to say...
Shouldn't someone be governing what is for sale, and what people claim it to be? I feel like we have a responsabilty to our new bees to keep a watchfull eye. When someone says they are selling a "black back" for way too much..... then I see the pic, and it has a stripe going up the spine of the lower 1/3rd of the body... Why is the thread allowed to stay?
Because of the for sale rules, nobody can reply and explain that the CONSTANT PATTERN running along the spine means it is NOT a black back..... so it just sits.... and the clueless new bees pay way too much before they learn.
Obviousely in this case it is the new bees fault for not doing more research... But I consider this site to be on a higher level compared to other sites. Shouldn't we be above allowing this to happen?
Don't know what I am talking about? Check out the for sale section of this forum right now.
Please share your thoughts.

Re: shouldn't there be a governing body
Agreed...I also think their should be some kind of Post Limit to be able to post a classified....I've seen some people posting Ad's with 2-5 posts :rolleyes: They don't contribute to the site...their just here to post ad's..

This discussion has been repeated numerous times and the rules are what the Admins decided on.We know who is who here and can "skip over" the ad abusers ;)

Thanks for the feedback. We're taking notes ;)

Hi,
We do check ad's to a certain extent you know. ;)
If somone is only here to post adverts they soon burn through the 15 allowed per year. They cannot post ads for the same animal/service within 30 days or bump the ad more than twice.
And, most importantly, if anyone see's an advert they feel is suspicious or misleading in any way all they have to do is Pm any member of staff and they will do their best to look into it for you.
**edit**
Beaten to it again :)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
