You can advertise anything for sale on here if you pay Cindy's advertising fees.

I stand corrected Brian.  Didn't know it was just for commercial interests. Sorry

It would be a great benefit to members Brian.  It would also give the vendor and the purchaser for that matter a little bit more security as in they would be dealing with fellow members.

 Maybe a members poll and submit result to Cindy

 I have no axe to grind one way or the other, but I think Cindy has made her wishes clear and it should be left at that.  Trying to force her hand is the wrong thing to do in my mind, after all there are plenty of other places you can advertise, if you wish.

Just my opinion.   Landy.

 And you are entitled to it and we should respect it just as you should realise that others have the right to disagree with you

I honestly don't think it was the intention to force Cindy's hand landy but surely it can't hurt for her to know that there are quite a number of members who consider this to be an advantage.

Untimately it is Cindy who will decide either to change her rules or let them stand and being the type of forum that we are the members will abide by that decision.

Good management of anything be it forumus or in business is down to gauging the wants, needs and wishes of the members or clients.

 

Hi Goinsoon  &  Ma

I do of course respect your right to disagree with my opinion, it would be a poor world if we all thought the same.

I have just observed,  although I have only been a member here for a year or so,  that this subject has come up several times and it appears that it is not a direction that Cindy wants to go in.  I personally would leave it at that. But as already said just my opinion and I appreciate being able to voice it in a friendly forum.

Sorry Guys looks like I opened a can of worms, I did not no it was not aloud as I am a member of a 4x4 club which has online forum and you can pick up just about anything from other members, which is great as you know the full history of what you are getting.

So once again sorry my mistake Red Dog [Dave]

 You did good, it needed airing, see the poll thread on this subject

 Elaine, if I had the ability to string more than two words togeather, I could not have put it better myself

This was answered by Cindy in the Buy Sell Poll thread last night.

For anyone who hasn't found it yet.

you are correct Vic, Cindy did say she would think about it.

I think Cindy is more concerned about the legal aspects of buying and selling on this site and does not want any kick back from failed sellars or buyers maybe laying blaime at her feet.

Most poeple do not read the posting guidelines of all forum's they join, there is one guideline that most people seem to be missing, here it is:

Do not solicit or advertise.

As shown here

http://www.activeboard.com/misc/guide.spark?aBID=51933

we all join this forum having read the guidelines or if some people did not read them then it is about time they did.

I have cast my vote and will stand by Cindys answer red Dog.

This was all answered by Cindy yesterday in a thread by her called "Deleted Thread"

As I thought from the last time this was brought to the fore she has said she is looking into it.

 HW, have I missed something here, Cindy's "Deleted Thread" was about the burning flag topic, not about buying and selling.

 If you look at Cindys reply on the poll thread you will see that is not the case, as she has said, she is aware of the situation and is giving it serious thought including how it may be implimented, by the way she spoke she did not indicate that she thought her hand was being forced at all.

And the idea of the poll was not at all to try and force her hand as you implied but rather get an idea of members feelings on the subject, no more, no less

it is a shame we cant buy or sell on this site, because we are all new requiring ideas and trying to get ourselves on the road.
i trust this site for valuable advice and information to us newies, I will stick behind cindy if that is her decision. But this could
become a valuable tool but dont know the legal aspect of it all.

I think that what could possibly detract from the friendliness of this forum is the possibility of a purchaser/vendor becoming disgruntled after the event and, in the heat of the moment, posting opinions/views of the other person which don't add to the spirit of this forum.

Just a thought.
